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

A 5'8 man in his 6th weight class as a pro against an elite operator like Bivol.

I picked Bivol to win this fight, was all wrong for Canelo who has no business at 175 really.

Fair play for taking the risk, he shouldn't fight at 175 again IMO.

It 100% was no cherry pick.

It was Canelo's ego and ******ity that he thought all Russian and European were basic 1-2 fighters who could't take his body shots.

The narrative is now changing. People said no matter what he did he would get robbed. Delusional Canelo fans were talking about a Usyk fight.

It was a cherry pick gone wrong.

That's not to say I am calling Russian Malignaggi a bad fighter. He is not. But Bivol does after all have limited pro experience and zero punching power.
It was no coincidence that the Mexican plodder picked an average champion with no punch from a country in a proxy war with USA.
Everything was against Russian Malignaggi but he beat up the wild swinging ginger like he was a journeyman and somehow walked away with a decision.

Canelo got exposed

If that were true he wouldn't have picked Russia's answer to Pauline Malignaggi.

It's not a coincidence he didn't face Betrebiev Or Smith instead. They would have put him to sleep.
Ginger knows it. Reynoso knows it and even Hearns knows it.

Cherrypick gone wrong

Terrible matchmaking more like it. How they picked unknown Bivol at 175 over lucrative Charlo/Benavidez at 168 is beyond me.

Except it wasn't though.

Anyone with a grain of sense should have known how obviously dangerous this fight was.

nothing is ever good enough in the eyes of haters

Did you even read what I said? Or did you just get emotional and spew this trash?

Is it a coincidence Ginger chose Russia Malignaggi instead of a puncher?
Cherry pick gone wrong.
