How much bigger is Bivol than say... Caleb Plant?

[The plunger man]

Bivol will be weakened. I don't think fighters know what they are doing these days.

The culture of weight draining, has distorted their perceptions.

He is increasing the likely - hood of getting beat if he fights at 168 vs Alvarez etc.

bivol has been saying that he can make that weight for some time and I’m not one to argue however if it did weaken him and he knows it all then he is being ******.....he seems a very calculating and intelligent fighter so it seems naive to think he would put himself at a disadvantage.


The man is ice cool

He is not going to be a better fighter at 168 pounds. That is a fact.

He will make the weight, but he will not be a better fighter.

Alvarez is probably going to be a better fighter at 168 pounds.

I just think the fight at 168 pounds,is unnecessary. Up to himself, if he wants to throw away the fight etc.

[Get em up]

Let's be real, as far as size goes Bivol isn't much bigger than most people Canelo has faced lately. He's smaller than Mundo. It wasn't all size that won him that fight.

He isnt really any bigger than Plant but I suspect he is alot more physically strong and was disciplined to a serious degree. Game plan and execution won Bivol the fight above size

well if it happens it’s because bivol thinks he will be ok and whether it’s at 168 or 175 he beats canelo.......that’s my take on it because canelo will also be weaker and less power.
168 or 175 bivol has canelo’s number

Big enough to fight in another division. Let's not reach here. Bivol might not be a huge 175 pounder, but he is not small for the division. He is big for 168 and he belongs in 175.

So, he's bigger enough than Plant and others.

Bivol is smaller than most top Super Middleweights.

Bivol is a medium/small Super Middleweight campaigning at 175lbs.
