    He's not strong. He's not powerful. He's not particularly fast. Add to that his boxing style which is pretty wooden/ ordinary. No cause for concern there either.

    But Bivol obviously does something great by beating up Canelo.. So what is it about him? Does he rely on exceptional timing and that's that?
    Bivol is not ordinary. He beat Canelo mostly cause Canelo is past his prime and way too small for 175. He couldn’t hurt Bivol and bivol knew it.

      His sense of distance, timing, and rhytm are unmatched. He isn’t exciting but he doesn’t have to be. He just gets the job done and nobody has been able to figure him out.

      Hopkins and Winky Wright for instance. Their styles werent pretty nor exciting but it worked for them. I kind of see Bivol in that light as well.

          You are only as good as your opponents, I don't think anybody is saying Bivol is no good, he is a very good fighter but not special.

              I get it, just that it's not a really strong division, which makes it hard for guys to define themselves; I agree he is very good in his class; I just want to see more before I put him up where a lot of guys have him.

                He’s literally like a cyborg programmed by a video game designer to maintain 99.8% accuracy with his jabs. Unlimited gas tank, too - and pristine counters.

                Will Beterbiev be the one to find his possible kill screen?

                  he beat better opponents than Beterbiev. that's for certain



                  he holds the single best win in boxing today. Crawford doesn't even have a hall of famer on his resume. Bivol does.

                      What are you dribbling on about lol, the single best win lol , none of your rant makes Bivol special I got no idea why you needed to bring TC and AB into it they have nothing to do with anything said about Bivol.
