Dmitry Bivol showed us why Canelo ducked Pacquiao back in 2014. Canelo would not have stood a chance vs Pacquiao at 152lbs. That's why he turned down Pacquiao's offer and asked for 154lbs or no fight. Ducked Pacquiao to fight Erislandy Lara, a mediocre fighter who he should have KO'ed in under 6 rounds. Pacquiao would have stopped Canelo with ease, likely retire him in his corner, or have Reynoso throw in the towel.

“Those days are over. I don’t fight outside my weight class. That’s the first thing I learned in my fight with Floyd [Mayweather]. I don’t fight outside my weight. If they want to fight at 154 then we can move forward and if not, I’ll continue with my career,” Alvarez would tell BoxingScene.
“I think it’s a fight that could probably happen. They are fighters that are in their moment and if that fight happens, we’re ready. At this point though, it’s just rumors and we’re ready for this fight [with Lara],” said Canelo."
