Comments Thread For: Beterbiev on Bivol: 'He Talk About Fight But He Never Fight'

[_Rexy_]

He's on record saying that he doesn't like making undisputed fights. I forgot if he gave any reasoning but he did say it.

That doesn’t make sense, aside from 147 he’s made the last handful of undisputed fights

Canelo VS Benavidez: Canelo (who I think would win) seems intent on avoiding another risky fight.

Bivol VS Beterbiev: Politics and indifferent attitudes have made it clear this fight will likely never happen.

Fury VS Usyk: Fury soiling his so-called legacy has put a spanner on this happening in December, if ever.

Literally the only three fights that seriously matter (to me) and it's likely we're not going to see any of them.

Ugh, it's difficult justifying my love of boxing sometimes.

Meanwhile the future Benavidez, Bivols and Beterbievs are fighting now as prospects but you are not watching and enjoying those fights because ?

There are a number of other fights I'd love to see, but these three are right up there - all highly competitive, meaningful fights for undisputed status (even if not all titles 4QWBC).

Yes, pardon my sloppy language. I didn't mean to imply these are the ONLY fights; just meant that these are the top of the heap and most important to me (and most) and we're being robbed of seeing them. Hopefully one day.

The winner of canelo/Benavides vs the winner of beterbiev/bivol for undisputed at 75 would be nice too. First we gotta get the first couple fights though, which who knows if we ever will

[Southermost]

To me Bivol is a better boxer than Bet the longer they postpone the fight benefits Bivol now politics are in the middle forget about the fight unless Bivol move out of Russia.

[JeBron Lamez]

Beterbiev vs Bivol is kinda like Canelo vs GGG in that it'll still be a great slice of highly skilled violence with the possibility for a drawn-out war, HOWEVER it would have been better when one of them wasn't literally old in sporting terms cos... yknow.

[Lance98]

Bivol and beterbiev were both keen to unify, but wbc is not allowing it and wants to bring politics into the equation. They should blame it on the organisation instead on each other.

[landotter]

Does this mean Beterbiev is going to tell Arum that he works for him and that he needs to get this fight on or else he's leaving?

Yeah... this is the only way it happens. Also, Beterbiev has to be ok with dropping the the most worthless of the meaningless belts, the WBC.
