Comments Thread For: Canelo Turned Down Catchweight and Rehydration Options for Bivol Says Hearn

Put your house on the Russian. We'll set up a gofundme for you.

How about I put down about $300 but you set up the fund anyway. No one needs to know and I think there’s the potential for a fairly lucrative scam here.

Canelo obviously does not consider Bivol much of a threat…especially power wise. Bivol is not an “inside” fighter…the weight advantage means literally zero when it comes to this fight, which Canelo will easily win.

Where was this when Alvaroids was draining his opponents to 155, his absurd catchweight of 162.5 against Chavez jr and his rehydration clauses for his fights with Jacobs, Fielding and Kovalev?

You know what - I was just coming on here to type out the exact same thing! Just contradictory crap which can only be lapped up by Canelo fan girls and when you throw into the mix his failed drug tests, it really is a shameful chain of events.

Yes, no point sabotaging legacy fight like floyd did with nelo.

A case of the abused becoming an abuser. Hopefully he has begun to move on now.

Another case that boxing fans are never happy. No weight clauses but some find a way to still bytch about it.

There is a reason why he wanted no part of beterbiev. Bivol is a small lhw to begin with and he does not have enough power to keep him honest. Believe me, they did their research and would not be fighting bivol if they knew he would be a threat.

Clenelo moves from 154 to 175 and doubles his power? Give me a break.

Doubles his power? Do you know anything about boxing? He has been ringing up KOs since he is fighting at a more natural weight. Not weight draining = maintaining and increasing power at your most natural weight. I can rattle off at least a dozen boxers where this has happened. Honest question, are you new to boxing?

Wanted no part of Beterbiev? They are already discussing that as the next fight. I believe Canelo could fight every champion at every weight class on the same night and because he didn’t KO them all you’d still have the celebrity clout chasing crew claiming cherry pick.

You folks need to find a different sport to follow. Boxing isn’t for casuals.

It doesn’t always work out like that though because yes, when you move up, you might make weight easier and are less drained, but you’re also dealing with bigger guys who are used to taking punches at that weight.

And the guy moving up isn’t used to taking those punches.

I actually think it’s more common for the number of a boxers KOs to go down as they move up, but yeah. Not always the case. I think there’s so many variables involved too. At least when we talk about punching power or KOs.

But Canelos always had phenomenal power, so it doesn’t surprise me that he’s still on his streak.
