Comments Thread For: Bivol Expects Beterbiev To Be a More Difficult Opponent Than Canelo

[Knuckle sandwich]

Too bad that Bob Arum has said Bivol is boring and has no pizzazz and that Beterbiev is not fighting on Dead Zone.

Arum is the walking living dead doe.

did you even read that article? That’s not an offer. Lmaooo. Bottom line, you can’t pick and choose when size is suddenly a factor in a canelo fight. It wasn’t an issue when he faced guys similar size as bivol or even bigger but when he loses you want to say that’s the reason he lost. Bivol didn’t impose his size on canelo as that’s not his style, and what you’ve also acknowledged unintentionally is that canelo decided to unify at 168 because it was an easier division with lesser fighters, just like his Kovalev title grab. Because they all had similar size advantages over canelo.

He said he was open to fighting him @ 168, so I think Canelo should act on that! Just because Roy Jones Jr. beat Andy Ruiz, that didn't make him a natural HW. Notice he didn't choose Tyson, Bowe, or Lewis! I still give him props for beating a HW Champion, but Jones was smart, not to remain @ HW! I don't think Canelo should ever fight @ 175 again! Maybe because he did beat Kovalev and Callum Smith, he thought he could do it? Bivol proved him wrong! He does not belong at 175!

Now that's what I'm talking about bivol ! Finally a fighter that ain't talking about f###ing pricing himself out or money at all. He just wants to fight .

Red - Dwight Qawi...

Good call... I seem to remember him as somewhat smaller than 5'8".

First Bivol, then Beterbiev and then Usyk! Easy work!!!!!!

LOL

As a big Bivol fight, no one wins against Beterbiev right now.

Being open to it and saying it was an offer are 2 different things. Canelo isn’t in the drivers seat to make that demand if Bivol doesn’t want to do it, which it doesn’t seem he’s completely into the idea. Next, Roy Jones beat John Ruiz, not Andy Ruiz and Jones was facing a guy who weighed 226 while Jones weighed 193. That’s a 33 pound difference. You’re really comparing that to Canelo facing Bivol who both weighed around the same in the ring? Canelo probably weighed more. Cmon now. You’re desperate to make a point and clearly nobody here agrees with you.

No one is beating Beterbiev. Even Canelos great chin will not hold up. I doubt if Canelo would fight him unless he can get an edge like in many previous fights . Get him to drain down in weight, so he is weaker, wait till he gets old but Canelo is going to get older too. Or, hope Beterbiev looks bad in a fight or two.

It would be more difficult than the fake Canelo fight.

Hmm.. A huge LHW who can fight at CW is more difficult fight than a former WW. Definitely not opposite to the real world.

Haters should find other things to make fun of.
