    David antics with losing his titles took him off of a shot. Ever since he has fought back into contention and is a fight that the public is asking for.

      I, for one, would like to dispute that.

      Berlanga was pooling in 800k in viewership on ESPN fighting cans. He has a following

      Benavidez fans = the small minority that aren't Canelo fans. As a headliner his last fight raked in 49k ppvs, while as a co-feature demonstrated no significant impact on Davis-Martin's 350k buy rate since it falls within range of Tank's normal numbers anyway

        I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say most people would think it's bolder to fight someone HUGE

          bivol is not huge tho

          he weighs between 180 and 183 in the ring for his fights

          canelo actually is the big hydrator, at the end of his time at 154 he was weighing in the early 170's in the ring

          he now looks a lot bigger than he did at 154 as well

            GARF! Up to your old tricks I see!

            The only controversy is the C.J. Ross's scorecard against Mayweather, beating Lara which the judges didn't seem to care too much to watch a bike ride (relax, I scored it for Lara), GGG 1 should've been Golovkin's ****ing come out party, GGG 2 was a close fight that all depended on the judge's preferences, and then the first 4 rounds with Bivol on the scorecards of those creepy old men judges

            Those are the only real controversies. Everything else is a legitimate win. Give the legend his flowers!

              I know that's what they tell us, but you can look at the guy and tell he clearly hovers between 190-200 pounds

              ​​​​​Canelo was smaller man for sure

                Dumb. ESPN viewers? Really??? Benevides had headlined 2 successful PPVs. Berlanga? NONE! You’re defending cowardice.

                      Lol you're going to sit here and tell me you saw only a 10lb difference between Canelo and Bivol?
