Comments Thread For: Hearn: 168 Not Canelo's Requirement For Bivol Rematch; Bivol Has Asked To Look Into It

[Oldskoolg]

Throughout boxing history, name one fighter who moved down from 175 to 168 and was successful?
Chad Dawson? No. Zsolt Erdei? No. Donny Lalonde? No. I’m sure there’s more.

What makes it worse is Bivol has never even fought below 175 before. Canelo fanboys just desperately want Canelo to get his W back and know he isn’t great enough to accomplish that at 175.

You just mentioned a few names that I guarantee you the Canelo man fans have never even heard of

Canelo tried to fight a prime 175 fighter and got outclassed which proves he's not supposed to be there, Canelo's too short for 175, he doesn't have the height/frame for that weight class.

Alvarez needs to move on, stay and clean up 168. The smaller fighters can move up for Nelo, bringing a bigger, heavier man down is disingenuous.

I agree.

Canelo should fight Benavidez if he beats Plant and Bivol should fight Beterbiev.

Good point.

Didn't Hopkins fight 175 then dropped to 160 to fight Pavilik??? And WON??

Oppps u 4got about that.

I believe Hopkins was like 43 and Pavilik 26???

And u ain't a hater...

Nah he dropped to 170. The weight he fought Winky at the year before. The Pavlik fight was at a catchweight so get your facts right dumbass.

B-Hop was a natural Middleweight, what a ****** comparison.

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Yet u GGG fans were screamning every day for Canelo to move right ti 160 and fight ggg his very first fight. GTGOHere woth that BS

Canelo is a naturally bigger guy than GGG yet you morons used to say he was too small for Middleweight.

GGG is old news, he’s cooked. Why are you even brining him up? Bit obsessive isn’t it.

[Oldskoolg]

If Bivol can make 168 comfortably, he should do it. If he can`t, don`t do it.

Canelo I believe wants the fight to take place at 175.

Hearn seems to want it at 168, I believe because he thinks they gives Canelo an advantage. And for Canelo to keep winning gives matchroom an advantage

Wow 2 lbs different then 168. Plus what he dropped down to 156? For Oscar??? And WON.

GTFOhere. Quit acting like that sht can't be done. We got dudes walking around 25 lbs more then their boxing weight.

U gonna lie about that sht too hater? Just admit you hate Canelo and just want to see him beat. That I can respect instead of some dude strght lying

But but Sulaiman said WBC wont sanction Russian fighters for belt

Bivol has something to gain. He can become undisputed super middleweight champion. Canelo gains nothing with fighting Bivol at 168. Fans and enemies won`t give him much credit if he wins. They will say "oh, Bivol was drained".

So, if Bivol isn't contractually obligated to rematch canelo, it's on him to push for the Beterbiev unification.
