Comments Thread For: Roberto Duran Feels Canelo Should Correct Mistakes, Face Bivol Sooner Than Later

[Haka]

I want to see the fight at 168. Previous fight Canelo moved up, now Bivol should move down, especially since he himself said he could do it easily.

that was a 50/50 cherrypick, berteviev or bivol, he couldn't wait much longer because bivol is younger that him, he did wait until he looked beatable. Like I said, and hearns agreed, a cherrypick going wrong, ask anyone. Remember he went for kovalev first, and then they were two.

Lol. Yeah ok..

[just the facts]

Duran vacated a Super Welterweight title in order to fight Hearns. "past his prime" is a stretch.

Abso********lutely not a stretch. 80 career fights and fighting 20lbs above his best weight. Duran was so good that he could be competitive even past his prime.

'50/50 cherrypick'....wtf is that? Lol

[garfios]

Lol. “Cherry pick.” There are only two fighters at LHW with the straps. Canelo chose the guy that everyone now and before had clamored about. A cherry would be a randomer 1-10 at LHw

The difference being Duran was past his prime plus out his best weight and Canelo's at his absolute pinnacle right now.

Troll harder sucka.

Bone density and muscle density matter a lot when it comes to weight classes. It's not all created equal. That's why you can have guys fight in the lighter weight classes at the same height as guys in heavier weight divisions. Sebastian Fundora, for instance, is 6' 5.5" but can you imagine him taking a punch from a cruiserweight or heavyweight? That's what people are talking about with respect to frame. And you can't just pack muscle on for higher weight classes. More muscle means more oxygen burned. It takes months, maybe a year to really get acclimated to carrying around more weight. Boxers have to be more like marathoners, but with explosiveness. That's hard to do carrying more weight than your frame can realistically handle. That's also why you see bodybuilders get crushed by military physical fitness tests or basic workouts for combat sports.

It is not all about height.

Bivol has always been a light heavy as a pro.

Bivol has a bigger frame than guys like Jacobs.

Jacobs is the same height, weighs as much or more on fight night, and in case you weren't aware also has a 1" longer reach that Bivol. Going to guess you're going to lose your argument if you're able to come up with any additional measurements for both guys. Not sure what your definition of "frame" is.

And I suppose you feel the same about the other 6 guys I mentioned as well? Notice you didn't mention any of them. If you and the other guy would take Canelo's **** out of your mouths for a moment you might actually open your eyes long enough to see some actual facts. The simple point was Canelo has beaten "bigger" guys (and guys just as "big" as Bivol) before.

Yes! PBC is broke then a’mug! Just the facts!

Easy way to tell that’s a lie, you posted it. So far we know you’re an idiot, a liar and a pha66ot. Anything else?

That was a cherrypick going wrong. He already had his "greatness" with kovalev. In beleived in his own hype. Remember? Usyk at catchweight and the weakest champ at cruiser. He thought bivol was the weakest link at LHW.
