Why did Bivol sit the year out?

[just the facts]

Thanks for that. It my opinion, which should be allowed. Especially since I have been on this forum since when you were sucking a dummy.

You’re right, even an idiot (you) has an opinion here.

Beterbiev has been calling for the unification as well.

Callouts when your promoter has explicitly said he won't allow the fight are just pro forma BS and don't count. If he actually wanted the fight, he'd tell Bob to make the fight or lose the contract. Even when there weren't excuses about Russia being made, they never sent an offer. Unified with a guy Bivol already beat instead of with Bivol. Come on, now.

Why do you say I am an idiot?

1. Because I rate Beterbiev
2. I don’t agree with your love affair with Bivol
3. Because you are a child who likes to make nasty unprovoked comments

Or maybe it’s all 3.

Major issue for me is that your opinion is pretty far from conversant with the facts.

I also rate Beterbiev, but Bivol's been calling him out for 4+ years and Beterbiev's team has never even sent an offer AFAIK. As for Buatsi, who you claimed would be a hard fight, he got offered a career high 7 figure purse to fight Bivol and turned it down, to fight another Brit level contender instead, which is a title eliminator for the same title shot he was offered. That's an obvious duck.

Bivol is arguably the greatest fighter in the LHW division. It’s a shame he’s stuck without a fight.

Buatsi is un proven, however we shall see what level he reaches. I think you will be surprised ultimately.

Do you really believe Beterbiev has swerved Bivol?

I have been lurking on this forum for 18 years. 4 of my 6 posts are in response to you. Take that as you will, but…….. It took someone special to draw me out of my silence

Because no-one wants to fight him , has no superstar allure and he is Russian.

You've only responded to me this one time. I'm not that other guy that started it. Just pointing out that there's some facts that don't fit with your claims.

He might reach some level, but that's a far cry from saying he'd be a hard fight for Bivol, when the one thing we know about them is that he chose to decline a 7 figure title shot offer to fight a contender ostensibly for the title shot he was already offered.

Bullsh.it. They could've left their promotors like many others and made that fight. Nothing is impossible.

They were with the same promoter for one day.

Bivol signed with Matchroom January 15, 2019.

Beterbiev leaves Matchroom January 15, 2019. Ditches a new contract after one fight with DAZN, the day Bivol signs. .

They don't want to fight.

Ayo, I’m reading the posts here and I’m laughing my ass off. Are Pacs fans back and supporting Bivol!!!??? Best fighter in the sport?. Hahahahhahahahahahahaahaaha……! Beterbiev would bludgeon his ordinary ass.

Also Canelo fans are Pro Bivol/Anti Beterbiev

but they're incredibly Anti Bivol when it comes to a Canelo rematch
