Eddie Hearn Admits cherry-picking Bivol

[Toffee]

Every fight is a cherry pick if you want to apply the term this easily. An A side picks a guy because he thinks he can beat him. Canelo probably still thinks he can beat Bivol... is the rematch another cherry pick?

With all the fights that this forum didn't label a cherry pick, what happened? You think the A side picked an opponent they were pretty sure would beat them?

[JakeTheBoxer]

They have different styles. Bivol's style is vastly different than GGG. Styles make fights and Bivols style is ******nite to Canelo.

GGG vs Bivol, GGG would win. Bivol obviously had an easier time with Canelo, and we saw teh struggles and how Canelo hung in with GGG.

I like GGG...but man, what makes you think that he would stand a chance fighting Bivol at 175?

[JakeTheBoxer]

he barely sc****d past a shot old jacobs and just got made to look like a ****ing bum by bivol. charlo would light him up like a christmas tree

Based on what? Charlo is not good. Charlo actually lost to Korobov and he has no real power even at 160.

neither is canelo... charlo is too sharp and quick for him IMO

Hearn doesn't have all the power. Canelo wanted that fight, because he thought it would be an easy way to become the first two-time Mexican LHW champion. Some cherry pick!

You are absolutely correct and I agree.

So who picked Plant for them?

Eddie picked plant back in the winter of 2020 when he told canelo Alvarez that if he went quickly enough he would be able to win the easiest 4 belts in boxing against the 3 easiest opponents, but only if he acted fast before guys like Benavidez, Morrell, Charlo, Andrade had time to snatch those belts.
