    I've made tons of complaints about the middleweight division. It isn't my fault you only notice when Eastern Bloc fighters get criticism.

      Thats a plain duck. For over a decade Canelo groupies "Take the fight! It's your chance, if you beat him you get the big money in the rematch!" Bivol beats Canelo "No, not like that. Take the small money again."
      "Small money" likely still 10x more then he is going to make elsewhere. Look at him now 0 fights in 2023 and cannot find a credible opponent.

        Titles don’t mean anything to a promoter. It would mean something when negotiating with other fighters. You have zero leverage with a promoter. Fighters come and go. It’s all about money, how much money you can generate as a boxer. That is what leverage you can use over a promoter.

          See? Exactly my point.

          Let me know when Canelo finds a credible opponent, because he hasn't had one since getting washed by Bivol.

            Bivol and Beterbiev held titles in the same division longer than Spence and Crawford.

            If Bivol was with Top Rank and Beterbiev was with PBC and picked up all the titles the way he did with Bivol being the last one he needed to fight people would cry.

              These guys have been champions since 2017. Promoters are pushing for undisputed. Fans are barely pushing for undisputed.

              **** em. Don't need em.
              Well one would have to blame the sanctioning bodies and the promoters; Namely Mauricio Suilaman and Bob Arum who refuse to pit those two together.
