Comments Thread For: The Canelo Sweepstakes: Do We Have a Winner?

[jockpunk]

Can't complain about either of these fights. GGG isn't my top choice but if canelo's year is bivol and GGG that will be a better year than probably any other fighter.

It's my favorite fight. Bivol is scarier than the rest in my opinion. GGG is to end a trilogy that is way over do, do not like it but i can accept it

[Boxing Beast]

Bivol is one of my favorite boxers. My dad taught me to not get hit. Apparently his did as well.

My favorite thing about him is the way he answers back when somebody's rings his bell. When he gets hit he can definitely go into another gear. I hope I finally get to see somebody push his abilities. I have to say since Dmitry Bivol has been champ I haven't seen him under pressure but just a few times and he answered back with violence.

On the GGG side, 40 is what it is and I have a hard time seeing how he could stand up to what Canelo has become since 2018.

You might be stronger than ever at 40 but the bruises are darker, the scars last longer, and the sleep is required. It was always that way

Canelo vs Bivol is a fight I'd love to see. Less excited about Canelo vs GGG because I've already seen them fight twice. Would still watch though.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Bivol is a great fight.

I would prefer Beterbiev as the second option and Benavidez as the third.

GGG is old with zero experience at 168, I don`t care about trilogy.

Hopefully both these fights land on DAZN

Wild card - Trevor Bryan with his phony HW belt

Bivol is good. He is very good. And he would have size advantage. I say lets do Charlo first then entertain the idea of a Bivol fight.

Canelo is a drug cheat (disciplined by the Commission), cherry picking (pick Euro bums and paper champs) hustler (forces bigger fighters into a rehydration clause). That guy doesn't belong in a Hall of Fame, he belongs in a Circus of Clowns.

Canelo's suspension at the hands of the NSAC is a matter of public record. No one should have any argument that he failed drug tests and was punished. Nor should it come as new information to any boxing fan. Common knowledge, surely? Anyway, no argument with that part.

Cherry picking is arguable. He unified the belts at SMW. I would lean toward applauding those that attain undisputed status. YMMV.

As for the final point of criticism: rehydration clauses. I'm curious as to why you think rehydration clauses are a bad thing?
