Comments Thread For: Canelo On Facing Bivol: He's a Good Fighter, A Champion; He Has Something To Offer

[batista84]

I’m not making any implication. I’m stating exactly what happened. Canelo didn’t express any desire to unify at 168 until after benavidez got stripped. You heard 0 from him about wanting the wbc title at 168 but he suddenly petitioned for it 3 days after Benavidez got stripped. You can assume that’s a coincidence if you want but I’m not that gullible. His team wasn’t fond of that fight and the nonsense excuse Reynoso made recently about why Benavidez isn’t on their radar was pure bullshet and an obvious attempt to steer Canelo away from him.

As far as benavidez lack of discipline, please remember that canelo also failed a vada test just like Benavidez. Canelo also missed weight but had the pull to have the contracted weight changed 1 day before the fight. So spare me the righteousness of what Benavidez should’ve done to be on Canelo’s radar. It’s hypocritical.

You a hater, let it go.

It don't matter if Canelo fights Benavidez next you'll still find a way to *****.

Beterbiev & Bivol > Benavidez, if you can't see that you'll reinforce my belief that you just a hater and not a real boxing fan.

What do you want Canelo to do so you just shut up.

you just wanna but guzzle canelo. I didn’t say anything inaccurate about how canelo only stated his desire to unify 168 until after Benavidez was stripped, didn’t say anything inaccurate about how canelo only petitioned the wbc for their title 3 days after Benavidez got stripped and didn’t state anything inaccurate about canelo also failed a vada test and asked for the contracted weight to be changed 1 day before a fight. You can’t argue with those facts. As far as you mentioning beterbiev, has Canelo signed to fight him? Nope , so stop giving him credit for shet that hasn’t even happened. Canelo doesn’t want the Benavidez fight because unlike the rest of these passive euros he’s been fighting, Benavidez will come to hurt him and he doesn’t want to be forced to fight at a faster pace than he’s used to by a bigger and younger opponent with better stamina than his.

And most BOXING EXPERTS, not FANATICS, give Bivol zero chance of beating Canelo. But his fanatics are steady trying to build Bivol up as this serious challenge to Alvarez. His best win is over an average at best, Joe Smith Jr. Oh, I know, Bivol has power and can move. Whatever, he has average hand speed, very little professional experience, 19 fights. Yet, again, Canelo's Stans are claiming Bivol is in his prime. Really, after 19 fights, he's ready and on Canelo's level? Canelo is actually a good fighter, if not great, but his opponents as of late have been soft. Most of them, Euro bums.

Bruh, Bivol & Beterbiev are the biggest threats to Canelo at this point, below cruiserweight. If Bivol's a bum, then what's everybody else at and under his weight class?

[TreyShaw]

Bivol is as legit and a threat as they come

[Cali Talk]

Great fight. If he can pull this off then ggg trilogy followed by beterbiev? Hell of a potential schedule for Canelo. Let’s hope it motivates some of these other fighters to step their game up

[ShoulderRoll]

Only idiots don't think Bivol is a threat.

Meanwhile their favorites are fighting Lemieux and Sulecki next. But they don't put anywhere near the same energy towards criticizing those fights. Hypocritical pieces of trash.

The Charlo wins are impressive, yes. I think most people forgot about those wins due to his last performance being garbage. Benavidez though has nothing on his resume. J’leon is garbage and so is Direll. I think Benavidez is a good fighter. But he has yet to beat anyone of note.

Its not just about best wins, its overall performances and how dominant they look. Charlo struggled with a cab driver last fight and was hurt multiple times, so that right there proves he is not on Davids level regardless of he his best wins are slightly better. David would have stopped montiel within 6 rounds.

I really don’t get what all the debate is about. Canelo’s after titles and a legacy not money. He cleaned out 168 and he’s starting on 175. Beterbiev is going to put more miles on him at 175 than anybody so why fight him first?? Beterbiev and Smith are scheduled to fight meaning Canelo has one less fight at 175 to unify assuming he beats Bivol. Why is this so hard for people to understand? He’s not ducking anyone he’s simply after titles. I doubt he’ll fight GGG. Even if he does it’ll be an easy fight against a small 40 year old middleweight as great as GGG was. Then he’ll grab low hanging fruit at cruiser. Then he’ll fight Benavidez then he’ll retire. Charlo will get beaten long before then probably by Benavidez.

And contrary to the utter partisan rubbish posted by the rednecks, experts aren’t writing off Bivol at all. Every interview i’ve read with fighters or trainers agree that Bivol is his toughest fight in ages and stands a good chance of beating him.

It’s only folk who don’t understand what they’re looking at when they watch Bivol that are writing him off.

You can't say he cleaned out 168 when he never fought Benavidez. Belts does not = cleaning out a division.
