How come no one is talking about Canelo being a straight up coward for not rematching Bivol?

I just love Canelo storyline.

Before Bivol it was like: Canelo will beat these Russians, he will unify 175 and challenge Usyk and beat him.

I give ginger 0 credit for his trying against Bivol. 70% of casuals here expected him to beat Bivol, so f.uck him and his trying.

Nobody needs to see Bivol winning 8 rounds again.

Now I want Bivol to take on that Canadian guy.

Only 8th? More like 10+.

[garfios]

I don't know who really wants to see it. I think Canelo reached his limit by facing Bivol. Bivol was really a larger dude in there and used his size well. It's one thing to be large and let Canelo outwork you, but Bivol is large and can outwork his opponents. Basically your case for a good big man beats a good little man. I think Canelo knows this and is Okay with letting that loss go.

Stop this bs. He didn't used his size, he used his talents and boxing skills. They weighted 2 OZ apart. He is just a better boxer.

there was something odd about the whole rematch thing

canelo wanted it at 175 & bivol wanted it at 168 for canelos titles

neither would budge it seems to me so it wasnt to be

i never fully understood what was going on actually, looks like neither of them were all that keen on the rematch actually for some reason or i could be wrong of course, strange one

The problem was canelo offering the same deal he had for the first fight. That's why bivol countered with the 168 fight, he later said that why he would get the same purse after beating him the first time. And don't forget that ginger never exercised his rematch clause, he let it expired.

[_Rexy_]

because Canelo fans say "Bivol had the audacity to ask for more money, nobody makes demands with King Canelo!"

and that was enough to justify ducking Bivol in favor of John Ryder and Jermell Charlo

[just the facts]

Here’s the straight dope. Canelo has the earning clout to fight anyone he wants. If Canelo thought he could beat Bivol, he would have made the rematch. But Canelo knows what we all know. Unless some seriously crooked scorecards are involved, he flat out can’t beat Bivol. No matter what weight.

[Pac=Duran]

When there's a guy that took on as many tough challenges as Canelo, it doesn't matter as much if he swerves one at the end of his career. He's been a beast for a long time.

It's different say if Canelo doesn't take a rematch, and if Gervonta swerve a fight. Because one of them has been taking on legend after legend, where the other ****s himself if any half decent guy arpund his weight class calls him out.

[Pac=Duran]

Also coward? Really?

He took on GGG 3 times (albeit after waiting him out to get old a bit) prime Lara, prime Floyd(got drained for this) Kovalev, Bivol. Lmao

If Canelos a coward every boxer is.

[MONGOOSE66]

What's the deal with the rematch? It's the fight everyone wants to see. He's supposed to be one of the greatest of all time, right? Then why is he running away?

That's not what GOATS do.

Bivol whipped canelo. Nothin for Bivol to prove no more.

Only 8th? More like 10+.

You would struggle to find a round that Canelo conclusively won. There's a perfect eecording from up in the crowd that shows how Bivol pitched a shut out
