    Question isn't who is more skilled. Who has more impressive win? It's Bivol. Mayweather was already ATG before the Canelo fight. Most of fans favoured him. Bivol was like "gonna be close fight but Canelo wins" type fight. And the fight wasn't even close. A f**kin 117-111.
    Well impressive to me is what the smaller man did and what the bigger man did. I take the size difference into account, Floyd did it easier in a kind of flamboyant way where Bivol boxed low key and very tight, if Bivol being so much bigger had stepped on the gas that probably would have swayed me, I think Floyd frustrated him more than Bivol did.

    Impressive is in what you see, it's a very grey area.

      this is prime roided Canelo


      the one Floyd fought wasn't even the same human being. Canelo just got a split decision over Cotto. This Canelo knocked out the entire row of SMW title holders and slept a former 175 champ.

        Depends if you're reading into a narrative or watching the actual fights, when all the BS is said and done, the fights are there to see.

          Again everyone that can really box with fast feet gives Canelo loads of problems, Floyd was 36 and a ATG near retirement and he schooled him, Bivol is big with tight boxing in his prime and as fresh as a daisy, if Bivol was a great LH he would have stopped Canelo tonight.
          Your forgetting bivol has only had 20 pro fights to nelos 60 yet schooled him he is a great lh no one has knocked down let alone knocked out alvarez what a ****** thing to say "if he was great he would stopped canelo tonight"

            If Bivol was "a great", not great as in the win, but as in" a great LH". with the size advantages he had, he would have stopped Canelo tonight, this is the first genuine prime 175 lb guy and it showed lots of weaknesses in Canelos ability at the weight.

              Bivol due the fact he UD him while being relatively unknown (basically the reason some picked canelo to win is because people "had to google bivol") whereas mayweather is mayweather.

              Also the floyd fight, neither were at their prime so there's always that "green canelo", with bivol, he's in his prime with the judges in his side, and he even weighed more than bivol if the source i read is accurate so....yeah bivol for me.

                Any large underdog win is inherently more inpressive than a clear favorite win.

                  Floyd didn’t lose a round and I don’t think Canelo ever hit him. Both were amazing wins.

                    I'm not sure what narrative you're referring to. I'm just stating facts. Mayweather got Canelo before the Mexican beef. Bivol got Canelo now he doesn't eat beef. Another narrative for you to follow.

                      Bivil win is better. Beat prime scary nelo. Only 19 fights and rather wet behind ears not much experience at highest level.
                      Floyd s win over nel o is mostly subject to ridicule and controversy
