    Let’s be honest canelo made a mistake with bivol and GGG.

    Everybody kept calling me a casual when I said nobody heard of bivol until he was named as one of canelo’s potential opponents. It didn’t even feel like a real fight week and hear it is fight day and there is not alot of buzz. I understand canelo wants that belt in a bigger weight class but man.

    If canelo was facing charlo right now best believe there would be a lot more excitement and buzz going on right now.

    also we all ready seen ggg and canelo go 24 rounds with no knock downs or real drama. The 3rd fight might be more exciting because ggg has slowed down but if it comes down to it ggg will know how to survive if it gets to thick in there for him and might try to jab him self to another decision loss instead of a knock out loss. So at this point Benavidez would have been the better option for September.

      You have to give it to canelo for getting a belt at a higher weight but everybody would rather see the charlo fight than this.

          When bud was fighting brook, Khan and porter people would rather he fight spence? Nel o seems to have more varied choice of challengers, people would like charlo, beterbiev, benavidez etc etc.
          when Duran beat davey moore it was a impressive win as he stepped up. weight. I'm sure there was someone else Duran could have fought but one step at a time nobody was complaining about Durand win.

            Everybody? That's fairly easily disprovable. I far, far prefer the Bivol fight.

              He's facing an actual top prime fighter for a belt at LHW, making lots of money and the arena is going to be packed. Charlo isn't relevant and isn't even attempting to do anything special with his career. I'm glad Canelo isn't fighting him.

                Lol, nobody cares about Charlo. This cat is not even top middleweight right now.

                Fighting past prime GGG and prime Bivol is clearly bigger challenge.

                  Do the math!

                    Only ones that would care about Charlo are the PBC ****suckers that figure it as a win for their platform rather than a legit boxing matchup. Fake boxing fans.

                    Kovalev and Ward should’ve never fought either I guess.
