    Nah. A prime Sergay Kovalev was the boogey-man at 175, and a true villain. Andre 'S.O.G' Ward was a real American Rocky Balboa, getting off the canvas and grinding out a win. Culero Alvarez is surely a heavy favorite over Dimitry Bivol, whereas Andre Ward was in a even fight.

        Is Canelo an unskilled bum who absorbs punches with his head? ****** thread. Canelo will just bully him.

          The entire free world will be backing Canelo come fight night. A vicious KO over the Russian is great for the sport! War Freedom!

            Uh...NO! Rocky was a huge Underdog and nobody gave him a chance not even his own wife. Also Drago had POWER, Bivol doesn't have big Power like that

            Beterbiev vs Joe Smith would actually be more like Rocky vs Drago rather than this fight...

              I knew someone would bring up Beterbiev,but the reason I said this fight is because Canelo is short & Bivol taller & punches & looks kinda Dragoesque(albeit with more asian,but his silhouette even looks more drago than Beter)

              Beterbiev also punches nothing like Drago & doesn't really resemble him as much as Bivol does to me.

              Keep in mind Bivol kod Smith already too so he definitely has power,I just mainly meant when you look at Canelo v Bivol is looks more like a resemblance to me based on just looks.(ignoring Canelos red hair)

              Not talking about the storyline except in that Drago was Rusky & everyone wanted him to die for Russia out of Rusky hatred kinda like now(you're right nobody expects anything from Smith though,so storywise yes you're right)

                totally get it but what was fascinating about with Rocky, his story is always about being that underdog but I guess if you're going by Height Difference then OK

                I just don't think of Rocky vs Drago personally for this match

                  The fighter with the better hairline usually wins. Bivol has the better hairline, 1+1 = 2.

                    Rocky Balboa was a helluva fighter. Gotta respect that he beat Hulk Hogan. Nash out.
