anyone who thinks bivol is a cherry pick-

your really believ this?

Bivol is at worst the second toughest fight Canelo could have made. People are ridiculous with this stuff. Beterbiev and Bivol are the two toughest fights he could make and it’s not even close. And he’s fighting one if the two. - - And if he wins likely he fights Beter though the temptation of Maka's WBC belt may take precedent before that happens.

bivol is a good fighter but you have to look at it in context. is bivol a knockout puncher who is going to knock canelo out? certainly not. is he going to completely dominate canelo and do enough to get a decision? certainly not because canelo is a good fighter and because canelo if need be will fight in a non risk taking manner and make it somewhat close and sneak away with a disputed decision. canelo also knows his rabid fanbase and media popularity will lead many people to say he deserved to win or "it could have gone either way" even if he really lost the fight.

Its straight up about size and weight, if Bivol wasn't a full 175lb fighter he wouldn't be given a chance with Canelo so it boils down to how much of a physical advantage does Bivol have over him, I think Canelos hand speed will give Bivol loads of problems, another element Bivol is a Russian fighter and they are as game as Mexican fighters so I don't see Bivol just folding when it gets rough he will have courage and Canelo will have to break him down real good to beat him. I got Canelo stopping him late and Bivol is definitely no cherry-pic, I think Canelos boxing ability is underestimated.

Bivol good chance to win, Nell due off night. Bivol is also due off night but that off night might be after 30 fights further down line

Yeah I believe this is a quality fight. I think highly of Bivol. Canelo is p4p#1 and he will get tons of credit from me if he wins. Canelo already gets tons of credit from me.

Bivol is good, how good, we will find out, my prediction is it will be close and possibly controversial, we also know that only one person will get the decision if its close. Bivol would have to win clearly to get the decision, thats very hard to do.

This guy fought huge 175s like Barrera and Smith (legit) but is going to get walked down by a 5'8 midget with a knee brace who couldn't stop 154s. This is some kind of joke! Boxing fans have really lost their minds. The prime example is Chavez Jr going up to 175 and his punches literally bunched of a Fonfora. Somehow this dude is defying all the laws of physics and weight classes. What a complete joke!

hes not a cherry pick but hes not really beat anyone of note, not sure why hes suddenly considered elite cause he beat a well past prime pascal and bum smith jr. i dont really see him causing canelo many problems at all, made to measure another slow stiff white fighter, up and down no special effects. lol bivol is not slow, he throws fast combinations, he may llack one punch KO power but that's it joe smith aint no bum-- your one of those benavidez and charlo guys huh? look who those fuckcksss are fighting? Look howmany close fight the charlos had with staright bums another suldecki, rematching that Argentinian who smoked them-- boxing fans suck

Simply doesn't watch boxing-- Bivol has the ability to easily upset canelo and is a top fighter right now- Canelo has by far the best resume in the sport- Fighters that complain are just looking for that pay day Canelo is on his way to being one of the best fighters of all time and is doing things Floyd mayweather wouldn't dream of doing- Aside from manny pacman what fighters have jumped up this many weight classes and been this successful? After the Kovalev fight my brother was waxing poetic about Canelo's greatness in moving up to 175. I was quite dismissive and stated more or less that if Canelo was really chasing greatness there are much tougher fights at 175; namely Bivol or Beterbiev. Canelo promptly moved back down in weight and how right I felt. Well, I'm eating crow now. Canelo is taking a huge risk here and kudos to him. Bivol is a very, very good fighter. I've stated many times I think him the most technically pure boxer in the sport today. Canelo may have bitten off more than he can chew with this one, and yes he does deserve massive credit for making this fight. I think Bivol is going to take Saul to school. We'll see next month. I can't wait.

Indeed. he’s an excellent fighter. he’s had lacklustre performances but some very good fighters do when they’re not motivated or don’t fear the opponent. His best performances have been against his best opponents and that’s what matters, it means they move through the levels if needed. does it mean he has enough levels to beat Canelo? that remains to be seen but if anyone thinks he hasn’t got the skill set to give Canelo real problems, they don’t know what they’re looking at. This is a real fight in my opinion, one I’m most looking forward to. I’ve always had a strong feeling that we haven’t seen anywhere near the best of Bivol yet. Beterbiev never seemed really to want to fight him. I give Canelo credit for fighting him.

Just haters sipping that hatoraid. Bivol was a guy they were saying Canelo would never fight. Then when it was close to being signed they said he’ll pull a catch weight or rehydration. Neither happened. So now for their mental health they have to downplay him. Im going to the fight and can’t wait but Bivol is by no means a soft touch at 175. I was saying Canelo was going to easily beat BJS and Plant. I think he’ll win but it definitely won’t be an easy fight.

Bivol has the best chance out of everyone right now without a doubt.

Do you have to be underdog for it to not be deemed cherrypick? But even though nel o is favourite it is taking a risk as he's fighting someone much bigger in stature, and unbeaten and if bivol loses, he will not be seen as exposed and people expect he still has good career ahead of him

Cherry pick is the most ridiculously used term amongst boxing fans at the moment. :lol1: Garcia vs Salka was a cherry pick, fighting an undefeated champion like Bivol is anything but a cherry pick.

The Russian is the Mexican's toughest fight. This is a war.
