    Bivol should beat Canelo again at 175 if ginger doesn`t want it at 168.

    Than should he go after that so called Canadian Beterbiev and take all his belts. WBC can throw their belt to the trash.

      Canelo wants to feast on Eurobums while making easy money, I mean the dude is becoming a joke now.

      Edit: The fight will do decent numbers because the selling point is the "The Rematch" or "the man who beat Canelo."

      Casuals will eat it up just like they did for Tank vs Ryan.

        I think so because I don't see Canelo having a chance at winning.

        I'll watch it, and who knows, stranger things have happened.

          I know it is hard to fathom but what if Canelo fights Bivol at 175 and actually beats him? I don't mean 2 or 3 funky scorecards but actually finds a way to turn the fight around.

          Fights where you are totally blown away by the outcome are some of the greatest fights in boxing.


          That said, I honestly don't see a way. So I'll say probably a waste, maybe not...

            Agree 100%.

            I don't see Canelo beating Bivol at 75 or 68.
            He should fight the PBC guys IMO.

            I wanna see Beterbiev / Bivol.
            Seems like some posters on here think Beterbiev is in decline and Bivol should win

            I don't see any LHW beating Beterbiev.

              FTR, not talking the financial side of things, obviously for Bivol it’s a great financial opportunity. Not so much for Canelo who could make better money in more winnable fights so I do commend him for wanting the rematch, however…

              … I just don’t think a rematch tells us anything we don’t already know. It doesn’t prove who the best at 175 or 168 is. Beterbiev-Bivol and Canelo-Benavidez mean far more I think.
              Personally, I think Benividas is a FAR EASIER FIGHT. Him facing Bivol is a GARANTEE ruff fight for Canelo. Let Benividas fight Morrell, then winner of Bivol/Canelo

                F-Yes it's a waste of time. I couldn't have said it better myself.

                  It's just an ego fight that will potentially retire Canelo when he realizes that Bivol has his number. I wasn't really impressed with his performance against Ryder, or GGG.

                  Benavidez, Morrell, Andrade, Charlo would be better legacy fights at this point, if he actually can still win those. Gotta say he's looking vulnerable and honestly kinda sloppy because he's in love with his "power." He keeps making claims like "nobody can stand up to my power" but he couldn't stop Bivol, 40 year old GGG, or even Ryder. Definitely gives more credence to the PED claims out of the Reynoso camp. None of them have looked impressive once the scrutiny was really on.

                    Well, is there any other offer? Has PBC sent an offer to Canelo for their fighters?

                      when are boxing fans gonna realize nobody cares about them/us?

                      not the boxers,
                      not the promoters,
                      not the boxing media,

                      nobody cares about boxing fans.

                      yet people always act surprised if a fight nobody asked for happens.




                      i mean canelo just sold 50k fans in a showcase fight nobody asked for.
