Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Bivol Loss Was Good For Canelo, It Brought Him Back To Reality

[eco1]

Canelo did what he always does and that's dared to be great. Every fight he has he is making history no shame losing to the best at 175 in Bivol. Remember Canelo is a jacked up middleweight I am just incredibly excited to see this third fight with GGG. I like Golovkin a lot but feel Canelo is going to be extremely motivated and beat GGG easily.

So now Bivol is the best at 175?
Are you guys going nuts just to suit your ****** comments?

You guys said Bivol was an average Eurobum and all of a sudden he is the best at 175?

Clenelo is just a B+ ****.

GGG talks a lot of trash for a guy who came off a 17 month break to take on a japanese hibachi short order cook while Canelo was challenging himself with Bivol after fighting like 4 times in a year and unifying a division.

GGG is naturally larger than canelo and hasnt even fought ANYONE let alone the 2nd best guy at 175. Hell GGG hasnt even fought a natural 168 pounder.

It’s not ****** to challenge yourself to greater obstacles… the man is trying to be as great as he possibly can… let me guess, it’s better to just fight the szeremetas and wades and muratas of the world to you? Sheeesh I don’t get your point of view at all on this one Brotha

Of course I say all this in hindsight. But Canelo was already a champ at 175. As far as legacy he should've fought that Cruiserweight. It was a bad business decision and bad legacy choice to fight Bivol. Canelo defending his 168 titles against Charlo and Benavidez would've put Canelo at a higher pedestal than beating Bivol.

How many more days before we see this dude get beatdown?

I think at this point it should be obvious that Golovkin and Canelo have at least been the same size for years. Canelo fought at 155 because he had youth (and possibly substances) to make the weight. Canelo was rehydrating to the same weight as GGG when he was at 154 when Golovkin was in his early 30s. Canelo is a naturally thick guy who only has a height disadvantage against G. Not sure of what "trash" he's talking.

even if they are the same size then Canelo still fought in two more divisions than GGG

True, he did. Thought 168 would've been a better move by Golovkin for years now. But the whole narrative that Canelo is naturally smaller has been completely overblown and to me, a false one at that.

I feel like GGG may get beat up and actually lose to Canelo this time, but I'm glad he is talking sh.it anyways. It's been pretty funny

Canelo, who had to wear sunglasses after the Bivol fight to hide his beaten face, thought he won the fight despite scoring 2-4 scoring blows per round during the contest. He actually thought he could fight Usyk? Maybe it’s Canelo who has taken too many punches. He looked slow and predictable against Bivol. He didn’t jab, His punches were either avoided or easily blocked. His foot movements looked like he was wearing cement shoes. Reality hit Canelo. I don’t think he really understands what happened. It’s his team that steered Alvarez away from a rematch with Bivol. They think GGG is too old and will be in a new division, and maybe Canelo can avoid PED detection this time.
