    Bivol win is more shocking to the boxing world. That's what question about is.
    Size is never irrelevant in a boxing ring, if Floyd was Bivol bigger when he fought Canelo he would have stopped him, Bivol fought a good fight, and with his advantages sealed the win Canelo doesn't belong at 175. Its funny how a guy that came from 130 is in a convo with a 175 lb guy and size is irrelevant lol.

      Nelo had at least 30 WW fights prior to fighting post prime May.
      May MAYBE had 4 LMW fights total ?

      Don't let the Pac fan in you resurface. You've been fairly logical of late.

        Bivol there was no weight drains nor was canelo green still. Bivol beat and schooled a prime canelo showed him light heavyweight is to much. If your complaining about bivol power beterbiev would kill him

          Floyd's win as floyd was smaller. Canelo still managed to hit bivol with power shots, but was hitting air vs mayweather. All this talk about canelo not in his prime back then was BS as he already had many fights as a pro and was undefeated, and was also a champ back then. He never made that many improvements, and still showed some of the same weakness during the caleb plant fight as the mayweather fight.

            Floyd was actually prime v nelo. I mean what version of Floyd beats Floyd that night? The one who beat gatti maybe? The one who lost to castillo?
            Floyd was prime v nelo. But at that age your window is less and you can age over night seemingly if you get a tougher fight than your body needs at that age

                  Mayweather easily. Not even a real debate.

                      Floyd's was.

                      Bivol had no physical disadvantages last night. I personally thought he would get outboxed, but thats on me. Otherwise, the fight was his comfort zone.

                      Floyd was smaller ( 20 lbs difference on fight night!)
                      older (by i think 13 years?), way past his prime (Floyd's best weight may have been 140), and no punching power (at least not compared to a damn LHW)...

                      And Canelo couldnt ONE solid shot. Not one. Floyd vs Canelo was a masterclass. Bivol vs Canelo was a clear victory. There's a difference there.
