Comments Thread For: Ricky Hatton: I Don't See Anyone That Can Beat Canelo

[Tibburon245]

Some give Lara more credit than he deserves--he had to run a lot to avoid the bombs Canelo was throwing. Lara is good but he didn't have the punch to make Canelo respect him. Maybe some past fighters would give Canelo a harder time at 175, like Michael Spinks, Holyfield or Dwight Braxton. But this is now.

Ricky doesn't think anyone in Canelo's divisions can beat him?

How about Benavidez, or too basic, although powerful and swarming an opponent with many punches? Bivol? That's a difficult fight.

Maybe Bivol could edge it, but I don't think he would get a decision, unless he dominates Canelo. I don't think either fighter would dominate, but think it's a close fight.

Canelo is beatable, and has been beaten, but lately he's been very sharp. So, an opponent has got to be on his A game to beat him.

What Will your thoughts be if/when Canelo dominates Bivol?
I’m not saying Canelo is unbeatable. Just keep that in mind.

Winner is canelo. If ko he more likely did it if goes to decision he gets that regardless for ask ggg lara and possibly trout. Only people i i see beating neko is beterbiev before ages out and benevidez anytime since younger

[BoxingIsGreat]

His current version based on second Golovkin fight. If Mayweather super duper impressed him, he wouldn't struggle with Lara. You look like 15 year old children on Youtube comments.

You use the Floyd style for strong, aggressive, come forward fighters like GGG, not Lara. Canelo couldn't outslick him.

Bivol isn't a joke, people.

I see this as canelos first REAL test above 160lbs and Im starting to get a real feeling it may be a bad one considering the entire boxing fraternity is writing him off.

Bivol is bloody good.

Hold that thought when he decides not to fight like this vs a smaller man who could not stop Angulo and Chavez Jr. Someone is going to have to explain the physics of weight divisions when he starts to fight a negative fight.

Sadly that probably will happen but idk, this is starting to feel like an upset to me, its reminding me of AJ vs Usyk where a clearly very competitive fight was being seen as routine, complete with the next fight lined up.

But yeah you are probably right Bivol will probably go on the back foot and throw zero punches with intent lol.

I would say GGG I and Canelo are no different than AJ/Usyk. GGG was walking him and had him on the back foot the whole fight and it stilled ended up a draw. Like I said, you go into an AJ fight you can expect fair cards. Go into a Canelo fight and just send a cardboard figure of yourself in the ring.

The Russians know good he is, that’s why the likes of Beterbiev have never been that keen on fighting him.

I’ve always said I don’t think we’ve seen the best of him yet because he has a style that will just cruise if that’s all he needs to do. For that reason, I think people are underestimating him, they’re looking at the fights where he hasn’t gone through any gears and thinking that’s his peak performance. Those are the same kind of people saying AJ was going to smash Usyk because Usyk had competitive moments with Chisora.

The only problem with that is you can somewhat get into that kind of coasting mentality when that’s all you’ve done for a while, but if any fight is going to snap you out of that, it should be v Canelo

I think it’ll be a good fight, could be a 7-5 either way kind of thing but Bivol isn’t getting a decision unless he sweeps every round easily. Canelo v GGG is a done deal, so even if Bivol seems to win 8 or 9 rounds (which is possible), he isn’t getting it.

[P4Pdunny]

Yeah Bivol is a real live dog, but unless he convincingly wins each round to the point where they can't give it to Nelo, then he isn't getting the victory.
