Comments Thread For: Team Canelo Will Explore Beterbiev-Smith Winner if Golovkin Loses or Suffers Injury

[Liondw]

I don't think Canelo is looking past Bivol, even though the headline might imply that.

BIvol is Canelo's first opponent since Golovkin that has a fair chance of winning, at least according to how he has looked so far.

Now if it's a close fight and it goes to the judges, and I think it'll go the distance, I don't know if Bivol would get a decision.

Canelo already looking past Bivol. Hope Bivol knocks Canelo's ass out. This wil be the biggest upset in boxing history since Tyson-Douglas

How exactly would this be the biggest upset since Tyson-Douglas?? ACTUAL BOXING FANS know Bivol is no joke and wouldn’t be surprised at all of this fight is GGG-Canelo level competitive. Douglas was a 1-42 odds underdog. Not even remotely close with your assessment.

They are talking about canelos multi fight contract with dazn, not his contract with bivol, no clause there ...

Screw GGG entirely, we've already seen that fight. The winners of Canelo vs Bivol and Smith vs Beterbiev should happen next

It goes to show you the boxing fans are never happy. They will go after Beterbiev/Smith winner and some say stay at 168. That is a great option of a fight that means something in case GGG fight don't happen.

GGG is a big business fight but he still has to fight and beat Murata, there is no telling how GGG will look in that fight. One fight changes everything but at least there is something in place than just finding a fringe opponent.

If Canelo does wind up fighting the winner they will say the Beterbiev is too old or the Smith has no skills. There is no winning with Canelo because the bar is set too high.

Love it! This is the best way to do make others face each other while you're sitting at the top of the mountain! Challenge your future opponent to win in impressive fashion or you'll move on to the winner of an even bigger fight. He should know by now....he's simply a stay-busy payday for Canelo and Beterbiev is the fight the fight people really wanna see.

But, man....that's even more pressure on Golovkin, whom probably should've remained active all this time (2021). Now, he HAS to beat Murata in impressive fashion and remain healthy. There are no guarantees here, but we will see this weekend.

Bivol will have to knock him out and they will still have the ammonia on standby It's not like it hasn't happened before. Bottom line, Bivol has had no KOs since 2019 when he ducked Beterbiev and is in with a guy jacked on beef. Since the scorecards are already signed, this is simply another belt-selling contest. I will bet money Bivol will look nothing like he did when he was piecing up MUCH BIGGER MEN, in Barrera and Joe Smith.

Just turn an actual stoppage into a DQ. Think this happen to RJJ also.

Wow, that's crazy! Where was the, UK or Germany?

Big fan of Jones, but RJJ hit Griffin when he was taking a knee and even though he was whooping Griffin, the rules are the rules.

If GGG doesn't look really impressive I say skip him, I know the first fight was controversial but GGG has done nothing sense then to warrant another fight.
