Canelo would be foolish to rematch Bivol

[Zelda]

I think Canelo would take the rematch.

At best, he wins and becomes a champ in another division. At worse, he still makes a ton of money and say his body isn't meant for that weight class but he challenged himself nonetheless. Running away would look bad and there is every chance he could lose at 168 which would look even worse. At least there is some face-saving to losing at 175 lbs.

Canelo deserves credit for stepping up weight classes. Bivol would beat the **** out of Andrade, Charlo, Benavidez and everyone else ****** fans claim Canelo is ducking. About time they recognised the levels and stopped dismissing European fighters that would beat up their favs.

Nelo need to beat Kamil level fighters in order to get credit.

I’m not sure what Canelo can do differently

It not like with GGG where in the rematch he decided to press the action, he was already doing that against Bivol.

He can’t outbox Bivol from the outside

Outside of a home run punch/robbery he isn’t winning

Make casuals happy again, fight Charlo in Texas and beat him 12-0 in rounds.

[QueensburyRules]

He still has very winnable fights out there for himself. Golovkin, Andrade, Charlo, Benavidez. Bivol could even stop him in a rematch. Smart thing to do is to chalk it up to going to high up in weight.

- - Canelo didn't get to #1 p4p in the world by listening and taking advice from this BS Dummy forum.

All depends on Canelo's goals I guess. Does this loss make him rethink his goal of moving up in weight? Someone else pointed out that there are still winnable fights out there (true!) but the question will be does Canelo value more W's and dollars or is he more concerned with legacy building? I think he's pretty much done everything a fighter could ever dream of....except move up out of his natural weight class and clean out the division. That would be epic and would cement his legacy forever and to see him give up that dream over a loss would be sad....I'd like to see him give it another go except try Beterbiev (spelling?) this time

I agree with you. Bivol is just too strong. Canelo couldn't have so much as put a dent into Dmitry. While on the other Dmitry was backing and lighting him up with jabs, crosses and body punches. In addition, he even managed to hurt Canelo on more than a few occasions.

He ***ed Bivol arms up. Canelo fell in love with his power too much.

[Shadoww702]

Canelo looks chubby even at 168. Even Plant was able to frustrate him.

Canelo`s natural weight class is still 160. Just 168 guys pretty much ******.

Yeah even 168 is too big.

I have a serious question for people of this forum? What is the issue with rematches that people have? What is the issue with fighters challenges themselves and wanting to redeem themselves? Boxing is not just about winning all the time, it is about the ups, it is about the downs, it is a Rollar-coaster ride.

Have you guys ever seen the movies series Rocky Balboa?

Alvarez was beaten, big deal. You win some, you lose some.

I honestly think there is a growing culture with boxing fans, where people genuinely think fighters think like them.

These guys are not you, they yearn for challenges, they are the ultimately competitors.

Canelo Alvarez is going to want to rematch Bivol. If he wins the rematch, great. If he loses, so what.

That is boxing.
