Comments Thread For: Canelo: I Like Idea Of Being Undisputed In Two Weight Classes; Really Good Thing For Legacy

Because some sadists want to see him punish GGG once again and this time in a more destructive fashion. Lol.

If that were true you would see even casual fans clamouring it on platforms like Twitter and so on. However, NOBODY wants to see it from what I can see.

The only thing I can think of is that DAZN wants to get rid of GGG - his $100m+ contract included the 3rd Canelo fight - and paying him $20m+ to fight Steve Rolls etc makes zero financial sense so this is their way to finally get some return back on their contract. I think they won't resign GGG unless he beats Canelo or looks awesome in another close fight.

Let's wait and see about tomorrow night. If he gets past Bivol it's a done deal, he will have overcome the division.

I think it depends on how he looks. If he wins but struggles that won't be a good indicator of fighting and beating that monster waiting on him to attempt to unify

My nephew bet me 200 bucks that Canelo stops Bivol in the first 4 rounds. I can see a late stoppage for Canelo but I'm not gonna feel bad for taking my nephews hard earned money.

Iv been saying this. What’s history going to remember him for more, being the only simultaneous 2 division undisputed champ? Or beating Charlo and Benavidez, who have nothing to offer at the moment?

His contract includes his stable of fighters he’s building up and gets dazn super cheap fights in other regions they are trying to expand. They didn’t just pay for Golovkin, they paid to be the brand that backs the face of an emerging boxing market. They could’ve spent half that amount advertising and not been effective at all. Say what you want, he’s not a big deal here but that dude showing with all them straps all these years to a country on the financial upswing is smart af business imho. Same with any athlete that’s the face of anything in their country. Smart money. Khan isn’t the one to pull it off in Pakistan though he’ll make bank on it, but we will be seeing more of this. You create new markets thus now have additional regions to license to. This is chess fam, Netflix should serve as an example of what happens digitally when you stop pushing. Cutting half their good shows because they lost subscribers and don’t have any expectations of emerging markets immediately.

Bivol is stylistically a tougher fight than Betterbieve.

I would assume GGG will retire or maybe have one more soft touch as a farewell fight if he loses to canelo.

HOLD ON Canelo!!!! You are no undispituted Until You Beat First Bivol which I think you will not be able, but If You do, then You have the Other Champ which is harder than Bivol in terms of Strenght and size which is Beterviev.Stop using the word Undisputed .

The greatest accomplishment of Canelo's career will be losing to Mayweather. He'll never have a greater moment than that.

Maybe... But "brain wise" Beterbiev is a tougher match up for Canelo... Canelo won't win the inside game with Beterbiev... Always thinking about where the bombs might come from will make him a little shy... But yeah, it's all expectations because frankly Canelo trip to weight glory ends tonight...
