Bivol is Canelo's best opponent since Golovkin easily

Some of the comments in this thread have aged hilariously Indeed. Thanks for bumping this one.

Joe Smith Jr would body Benavidez and CHarlo at LHW. I'd give Pascal a good chance of beating them 2 also. Weight classes exist for a reason. I'd also pick Marcus Browne over Benavidez and Charlo at 175.

There are weight classes for a reason. Ggg was considered bum who never fought anyone. Yet Floyd ducked Ggg and the 160 division like the plague. But bivol 2 divisions higher again. Bivol at 175 has a much better resume than GGG at 160

we find out Saturday, to no surprise this fight doesn't have much of a Buzz because outside of us Hardcores, nobody knows who TF Bivol is

Floyd was expected to fight at middleweight? For what reason? GGG said he would've come down for Gayweather at the time when GGG was weighing in at 158-159 at weigh ins. Sergio Martinez also said he was willing to come down a bit. Gayweather ducked both of them.

Says a lot about Canelo's resume if a fighter like Bivol is one of his toughest opponents. Bivol is basic and he's on the smallish side for his weight class. Canelo will smoke that fool, that's probably why he choose him. Well, 70 fight former flyweight not far removed from.being koed by 40 year old is Floyd s best win and idea of taking a risk so what does that tell you, or anyone?

Honestly, that isn't saying a lot. Bivol is nothing fancy. Canelo should be able to box his ears off. Another boring beat up of an overmatched opponent to pad Canelo's eurobum record and fatten his wallet.

All the same comments about KOvaled...that he was a monster....etc and we know the results. I like to think this is different and if Bivol does not take a dive in the 11 round...it should be a close draw or split decision in favor of Canelo in a boring with a few moments fight.

Floyd was expected to fight at middleweight? For what reason? . Why not, didn't Floyd claim he's TBE? The standards for Floyd are supposed to be high a Floyd fan told me

He is just bigger if they were naturally the same division, Bivol goes to sleep, GGG was a tougher fight because the class was close to each other, Bivol is not in their class.

Man, the Richards fight was not close at all. Sure Bivol has had better performances, but he clearly won that fight. Swept the first 8 rounds easily and then got lazy. Benavidez struggled a lot more in his fights with Gavril and the corpse of Dirrell and those guys arent light heavyweights. And Bivol is a boxer, not a KO artist. Occasionally boxers have very uninspiring performances. That includes Ward, Floyd, Kliitschko, many others. It wasn't close but it was competitive. Bivol's timing seemed off that night.

I think Bivol was rusty for that fight with Richards tbh. Plant went 12 with the corpse of Caleb Truax and was still very competitive with Canelo. Means nothing...

Saunders quit, flat quit after criticizing Dubois for finally quitting after fighting several rounds with an actual serious injury. Saunders’ performance was a disgrace. Boxers shouldn't talk unless they have fought through something similar. Dubois fought on for many rounds with a terrible injury before finally pulling out, understandably with it. Saunders pulled himself out (regardless of what he says) in the corner about minute after getting the injury. He didn't want to know. He could not take what Dubois was willing to take, but was happy to shoot his mouth off beforehand. Was good to see Canelo give him a real beating. Nash out - boxing expert.

Saunders' performance was better than Plant. Plant took beating of his life on the ropes. He couldn't do any shıt. He only won one or two rounds. Saunders landed better punches on Nelo and outlanded him 31-19 in the last rounds.

Agreed. The people who hate on Bivol are crazy to me. He is the 2nd best guy at 175. What else can you want from Canelo.. Charlo is maybe 3 at 160 and Benevidez maybe number 2 or 3 at 168. What's there to hate on

I agree. I love the Canelo vs Bivol fight!!! I think Bivol is a REAL threat. Bivol is a prime 175 pounder and I think the best 175 pounder in the world. Canelo vs Bivol will be a great fight! 2nd best 175 lber at worst
