Comments Thread For: Canelo's Weekend Misstep Means One Thing - Trilogy Time

[Smash]

bivol must have been a big baby at 173 ibs

i think bivol was a middle weight when nelo last fought at 140 LMAO

nelo is like looking over at ggg, omg another one of the rooskie korean zombie bots, im sick to the back teeth of these guys, just my luck i have 2 of them hovering around me

The GGG fight is still a big money fight, I don't think they will go right away at Bivol. Maybe how he looks if he indeed fights GGG and wins we might see a rematch. I didn't see anything that Canelo can do better. He would had to force the fight and be active but that is not who he is.

[Elastic Recoilz]

Bivol has a pretty unique skillset. Granted.

First off, it was his mind that beat Canelo.

Secondly, he has real POWER. Everyone that fights him comments on his power.

I don't see anyone below 175 beating Canelo with ANY style. Not yet anyway.

Ridiculous thing to say when Canelo has had close fights at 154, lost to GGG at 160 and has not faced any one good-elite level at 168. Someone of a similar ilk to GGG and younger easily beats him below 175. You just have to be disciplined and force your style of fight onto him. When Canelo can't get his way in fights he becomes mentally and physically tired and just sort of folds..

[Elastic Recoilz]

Canelo should fight GGG. I do not care to see it, but he deserves a tune up after a loss and that works fine. I would rather see him vs Morrell Jr. personally, but I seem to be the only one.

Funny how people can easily dismiss one of the hardest punchers in boxing who has the best timed jab based purely on age. It would be absolutely hilarious if Golovkin brought additional power up to 168 and either dropped, badly hurt or KO'd Canelo. Its not too unrealistic a scenario as you'd have to imagine GGG will be hitting harder with his increased weight.

Trilogy is a huge what if

that assumes Alvarez wins fight 2

no point in trilogy if Bivol beats him twice

[Elastic Recoilz]

Canelos fan girls are talking about him as champion at super middle...but he wants to go fight a middle...

Typical Canelo antics - always trying to make it unfair for his opponent in some way! Whenever he fights a real one he gets taken to school.

[Boxing Beast]

No one wants to see Canelo fight a guy with only 6 wins in his record.

Oh yea big drama show. Who do the one's really want to see Canelo against? Benevides, Charlo, Andadrde? They are all good fights but none stick out

[MPA2000]

We already knew he wasn’t perfect.

Now we know he’s not infallible either.

We? You mean us non-Mexicans right? Mexicans did think he was perfect and infallible. Bivol was easy work remember? Don't forget about Cruiser weight. He was going to run through the African. And just last week they were saying he could compete with Usyk since he already "knock out" heavy weights in the gym.

LMAO!

A LOT of y'all are dismissing the mindset of Dmitry. I don't care if you have all of his skills, if you don't have the mental fortitude to walk into the ring and OWN IT, you're not beating Canelo Alvarez. It wasn't just Bivol's skill and style. It was his mind.

It's always both in boxing. Good tactic, skill and discipline to stick to the game plan support one another. A working tactic utilizes skills and builds confidence which helps you stick to the plan etc. Boxing is extremely mind dependent. But agreed, Bivol was cold as ice in there, despite having success didn't push it too much.
