A 5'8 man in his 6th weight class as a pro against an elite operator like Bivol.
I picked Bivol to win this fight, was all wrong for Canelo who has no business at 175 really.
Fair play for taking the risk, he shouldn't fight at 175 again IMO.
Bivol would beat the brakes off Charlo and Andrade. Does anyone doubt that?
Bivol would beat every fighter Canelo has ever fought, including GGG. Charlo and Andrade would get dominated by Bivol.
You are claiming Benavidez wont even beat a top 10 LHW? lol! Canelo dick riders have totally lost their minds. Cope.
Erm, no, I said he HASN'T beaten a Top 10 fighter in general.
That's at his own weight class, let alone a LHW.
And you mean to tell me that this man is a bigger risk to take than fighting Bivol? A legit, elite, proven LHW Champion?
Newsflash; It isn't. Nor close.
Since when is the harder puncher the riskier fight you moron?
Who has Benavidez beat?
Benavidez is tailor made for Canelo, he's beat no one in the Top 10 and would lose every round.
Bivol on the other hand is an elite LHW, proven fighter who's beaten multiple top 10 guys.
Bivol is the more dangerous fight BY FAR.

Oh ok so your just another silly fan boy. Benavidez is a more dangerous fight because there is a much higher risk of getting stopped than with Bivol. Their KO records and fight style should make it clear to even muppets like you.

Benavidez a killer? :lol1: On what Planet? Who's he killed? He barely beat Ronald Gavril.
You're actually trying to say that Benavidez is a riskier fight than Bivol?

Its very logical when you compare it to the other options he had. Beterbiev, Benavidez, who are killers, or Bivol who hasnt stopped his last 6 opponents?

Do you think it's logical to consider the #2 LHW in the world a cherry pick for someone who started their career at 140 lbs and won their first title at 154 lbs?

You can't say it wasn't a cherry pick just because he lost lol. It was and he still lost!

Who else in the world would Bivol by a cherry pick for?
I both agree with that premise and disagree with it. Bivol is not a cherry pick quality opponent, he's a legit world champ. However he was definitely cherry picked due to perceived lack of power. Canelo has been generally avoiding power punchers since Golovkin. Nobody since him has really had the power to hurt Canelo. Ghost of Kovalev was closest on paper.
That's why people have been clamoring for fights against more dangerous opponents such as Benavidez or Beterbiev.
Against BJS, Plant, Smith, Bivol, there was always a chance that Canelo would get outboxed, but the decks were stacked heavily in his favor. His opponents had almost no chance of knocking him down or out, and winning s decision against him is very difficult. Just look at last night's scores. 7-5 scores? What were these guys watching?
On a professional level yes. He's 16-2 lmao and quite a bit of hype. His best wins are smaller fighters, fact. Gary Russell is a midge compared to Lomo and Lomo is a smidget himself. Rigo had to jump 2 classes, another midge. When he fights someone his own size in Lopez, he gives up the first half of the fight ---> that is the hallmark of inexperience.
Look at the level of his opposition! The only really experienced fighter that were his own size gave him hell and beat him lmao! A washed up Linares at 44-3, dropped him with a probing right. Experienced Salido with 41 wins, roughs his culo up with no regard.
Get your levels up before tussling with the big dogs.
Right mate :lol1: Lomachenko is an experienced pro :lol1:
Got it :dunce:
Just doing what is necessary for them to learn. Got to cover all bases and rub their faces in their own shet.
Oh yeah :lol1:
So is Lomachenko inexperienced as a pro then too with his 18 fights?
It was a cherry pick gone wrong.
That's not to say I am calling Russian Malignaggi a bad fighter. He is not. But Bivol does after all have limited pro experience and zero punching power.
It was no coincidence that the Mexican plodder picked an average champion with no punch from a country in a proxy war with USA.
Everything was against Russian Malignaggi but he beat up the wild swinging ginger like he was a journeyman and somehow walked away with a decision.
Canelo got exposed
He's not an average champion, he does have mediocre power at 175 but it's decent enough to rock a natural 160 to 168 guy back on his heels and scared to engage him in close quarters when his corner should have been telling him we need rounds.
Sure, at 15 years old. It's a crazy exception given barely anyone turns pro that young nowadays (anywhere else in the world)
The way '6th weight class' was thrown in makes it appear like some Floyd/Oscar type achievement, but more so the strange circumstances of his early career
His professional weight range for the bulk of his adult career is between 154-175. 154 he's definitely not able to make anymore, and 160lb is unlikely, meaning current weight context is important
Point being I don't think 175lb is some crazy stretch for his current size. He's not small at 168. He's definitely short at 175lb, but if Bivol can make 168lb like he has claimed before, he still wins. But that goes to show that he's definitely not a cherry pick
It's still his 6th weight class though as a pro.
No different from how we do with Duran, Pacquaio, Benitez, etc all guys who were still kids when they started their pro careers.
He's pretty small at 168 IMO, he's far from big for the weight.
OK sure bro.
19-0 at the pro level is considered by everyone in the history of boxing as inexperienced. #getbetter
Not really. Depends what fights they've taken. and at what level.
Lomacheko is 16-2, are you going to tell me Lomacheko is inexperienced as a pro as well?
How can it be logically plausible for a World Champion with 7 Title defenses to be inexperienced?
It was not a cherry pick, but Canelo pics opponents like:
1. Can I last all 12 rounds fighting that guy?
2. Ok, if I can, fight him, judges will give me a decision anyway.
It works almost always.
I wasn’t that level of imbecile or hater but I thought for sure canelo would win and didn’t think Bivol would get a UD.
I was wrong. Well the judges almost proved me right. Lol.
Well said , the judges almost proved you right
Only one person saying and starting threads about it was silence , I think that’s his name
I might of saw 2/3 people legitimately think it’s a cherrypick
Everyone kept talking about how robotic and euro trash
Funniest of all is how they were so convinced that Beterbiev is robotic and Canelo would beat him easily lmfao
Canelo lucky he chose Bivol cause King ( that’s right ) Artur would of knocked him the fugh out
