To consider Canelo's fight with Bivol a cherry pick was totally outrageous and absurd.

    I didn’t think Bivol would get a UD for 2 reasons :

    He had to win 12-0 to get 7-5 (he may have lol).

    They already announced the ggg fight. I personally don’t like it when the cash cow announces the next fight before he wins the current one.

    But I was wrong and thank god because we didn’t need another robbery.

        Bivol is not "inexperienced" at all. He's the #2 in the division and A world champion with 7 title defenses.
        OK sure bro.

        19-0 at the pro level is considered by everyone in the history of boxing as inexperienced. #getbetter

          Sure, at 15 years old. It's a crazy exception given barely anyone turns pro that young nowadays (anywhere else in the world)
          The way '6th weight class' was thrown in makes it appear like some Floyd/Oscar type achievement, but more so the strange circumstances of his early career
          His professional weight range for the bulk of his adult career is between 154-175. 154 he's definitely not able to make anymore, and 160lb is unlikely, meaning current weight context is important

          Point being I don't think 175lb is some crazy stretch for his current size. He's not small at 168. He's definitely short at 175lb, but if Bivol can make 168lb like he has claimed before, he still wins. But that goes to show that he's definitely not a cherry pick

            I have always seen that as a very dangerous fight for Alvarez. But I am not so sure that Reynoso and Canelo took the fight for that reason.

            I mean, we have heard some comments that Canelo felt like he would beat Usyk, lol.

            I am no so sure Canelo was aware how dangerous that fight was for him.

              2. Not really that 19 fights at the pro level is still at an inexperienced affair?
              3. Not really how he looked average in his fights against Castillo and Richards?
              4. Not really that Bivol was the lesser of evils compared to what else was out there?
              The idea that Team Canelo and DAZN thought this was a relatively safe fight for Cleneloterol is not unreasonable. It's you sir that is unreasonable.
              Damn bro XD
              Why gotta kill him so bad. lmao

              Now watch how the coward won't address any of your points.

                    It was definitely a cherry. Watching Bivol, it's clear why Canelo thought he could beat that guy. He's just so basic. Bivol aint nothing special.

                    Canelo just overestimated himself, beating those bums at 168 had him believing he was invincible. Bivol controlled the distance perfectly. Canelo just aint good enough to overcome having short arms, flatfeet, and being slow as **** at higher weight.
