I pick Bivol simply because of his constant in your face jab. Reminds me so much of Golovkin’s jab where he just constantly pumps it out and bashes your nose with it. 24 rounds with him and Canelo still never really figured out how to get past it. It was that jab alone that won Golovkin some rounds in the rematch. Bivol’s jab is just as educated.

Bivol or Beterbiev? Who gives Canelo the tougher fight and why?

I concur, not only does Bivol have a super good jab but his use of footwork is quite good. Beterbiev, while having scary power, is there to be a hit and would get countered all night imo

The casual boxing fans don’t realize Bivol isn’t viewed as the #1 guy at 175. The top fighter at 175 is IBF/WBC champion Artur Beterbiev (17-0, 17 KOs), and some people believe Canelo is waiting until the talented Russian gets old before facing him.
Beterbiev will be turning 38 on January 21st, and he’s getting up there in age. Canelo isn’t expected to fight Beterbiev in 2022 or 2023, meaning that by the time he potentially does in 2024, the two-time Russian Olympian will be 39-years-old.
Why isn’t Canelo fighting Beterbiev in 2022, or why didn’t he face him in 2019? The answer is obvious. Beterbiev is too good, and his power, body shots, nonstop attacking style, and steel chin make him a nightmare for Canelo.
As such, Beterbiev is in the same boat as Benavidez in being virtually ignored by the Mexican star, as if he doesn’t exist.
Betebiev is the equivalent of the third rail in a subway. He’s too dangerous right now, but that could change in two years when Beterbiev is 39 and not the fighter he is today.

Beterbiev best the Nail , Gvozdyk to begin the unifying
Imo , the Nail would have a great chance of beating Canelo
Beterbiev beat him not only by boxing him in a tremendous fashion but also by KO
See the fight , can Beterbiev box ?
Canelo certainly thinks so , do you ?
