Comments Thread For: Other Canelo Options Exist in Case Bivol Chooses Another Path

[The Big Dunn]

Canelo v Benavidez seems like the fight to make.

Bivol won 12 rounds but the judges gave him a 7-5 win in each card. Watching the fight makes clear a rematch isn’t warranted.

If they rematch and that happens again, that kind of controversy doesn’t do anything for either guy and hurts the sport.

Let Canelo stack another win then fight Bivol.

Saying this as a Canelo fan who would root for Canelo in a Bivol rematch: Bivol would be ****** to go another route. I am sorry but Canelo is such an easy win for Bivol. He’s so much bigger and better, and Canelo is bloated at 175. Easy money.l for Bivol.

Sorry, it sucks to say, I like Canelo as a fighter, very much. My favorite active fighter by far. But Bivol beat him easily. 8-4, an easy 8 rounds to 4. Canelo also looks worse now. Just such an easy fight, and so much money to make for Bivol. He would be a fool to turn it down. The cash cow wanting you badly, you don’t say no.

Just this! Why would Bivol NOT go forward with a Canelo rematch?!

OK, cool. Fight Charlo or Andrade then.

Charlo is out of the equation, he hasn't fought in nearly two year's, how in the hell would he be sharp enough to compete against Canelo?
No brother if Canelo doesn't fight Bivol, then next up would have to be one of the following fighter's, Benavidez, Morrell, or Andrade.
Contrary to popular belief, I don't think that Canelo is afraid of Benavidez, Morrell, or Andrade, but he might try to avoid them anyway.

[Boricua181]

I think that Canelo stating that he has other option's (which he definitely has), is just a psychological ploy to get Bivol to accept the terms for their rematch.
Bivol shouldn't be entertaining any other fight other than their rematch, because it'll be the biggest pay day for him currently, for the foreseeable future, and possibly for the rest of his career.
It's also a fight that Bivol can win even easier than he did in their first fight. All Bivol has to bare in mind is that this time around Canelo will try to start off faster, in order not to fall behind on the card's.
The fan's will tune in to watch this rematch in huge number's, they'll want to see if Canelo can get revenge, or if Bivol can beat Canelo more decisively, or even score a knockout.

Canelo will rematch Ryder before he fights Benevitez. if Charlo moves up I doubt Canelo will fight him either. Callum Smith rematch probrally.

Charlo would be a fool to take the fight after being inactive for 2 years, its literally the only way that Cinnabon can beat him, which is the reason his name is even coming up instead of the others guys that are actually at 168 and active. I would definitely want Charlo to get the fight after at least one fight beforehand to shake off the ring rust, and to get his timing and technique sharp, but he hasn't earned it at 168, so it would be a slap in the face of the fighters that are already in mandatory position.

1 more tune up fight then rematch with Bivol or fight with Benavidez

[DougalDylan]

Might as well get Benevidez (nothing on his record) out of the way now and use him as a tune up for Bivol.

[A.B Counterhooks]

Clenelo loses to Benavidez, Andrade and Charlo. He can't deal with skilled fighters

Lmao....delusional
Canelo real threat is at 175 ,All those 3 would lose their 0 against the cinnabon,maybe benavidez would give him some sort of problems, both charlo and boo boo are inactive and overrated as hell being honest here.

[OldTerry]

I can understand Bivol wanting the fight at 168 and Canelo wanting 175. Whichever gets their wish is not putting their title(s) at risk. The much bigger risk though to Canelo who would lose at 168 and not Bivol who wouldn't lose at either weight.
