    There are weight classes for a reason. Ggg was considered bum who never fought anyone. Yet Floyd ducked Ggg and the 160 division like the plague. But bivol 2 divisions higher again.

      Floyd was expected to fight at middleweight? For what reason?

        . Why not, didn't Floyd claim he's TBE? The standards for Floyd are supposed to be high a Floyd fan told me

          All the same comments about KOvaled...that he was a monster....etc and we know the results. I like to think this is different and if Bivol does not take a dive in the 11 round...it should be a close draw or split decision in favor of Canelo in a boring with a few moments fight.

            Honestly, that isn't saying a lot. Bivol is nothing fancy. Canelo should be able to box his ears off. Another boring beat up of an overmatched opponent to pad Canelo's eurobum record and fatten his wallet.

              Says a lot about Canelo's resume if a fighter like Bivol is one of his toughest opponents. Bivol is basic and he's on the smallish side for his weight class. Canelo will smoke that fool, that's probably why he choose him.

                Well, 70 fight former flyweight not far removed from.being koed by 40 year old is Floyd s best win and idea of taking a risk so what does that tell you, or anyone?

                  GGG said he would've come down for Gayweather at the time when GGG was weighing in at 158-159 at weigh ins. Sergio Martinez also said he was willing to come down a bit.

                  Gayweather ducked both of them.

                    we find out Saturday, to no surprise this fight doesn't have much of a Buzz because outside of us Hardcores, nobody knows who TF Bivol is

                      Joe Smith Jr would body Benavidez and CHarlo at LHW.
