    how I see it

    Alvarez has no shot against Bivol. Biv is borderline defensive wizard. Alvarez perfect punching him for a ko victory wouldnt happen

    But Alvarez could beat Beter despite the risk of being knocked out himself

    Alvarez one of the greatest chins ever

      Alvarez doesn`t believe he can beat Beterbiev. If you don`t believe, you can`t win.

        IF Beter wins a tightly contested decision over Bivol

        that changes Alvarez mind

        I’m not sure why Alvarez feels confident with Bivol

        Biv ALREADY beat him WIDE taking 9 to 10 roundz!

          I'm wondering if he really feels he can beat him or if it's just his pride/machismo....

            Bivol IS Alvarez stylistic nightmare: excellent jab from a master mover with speed

            the best boxer-counterstrikers either shut Alvarez out entirely [Mayweather] or 9-3 him [Bivol]

            the jabbing movers who aren’t as good 7-5 him [Trout] or box him to a draw [Lara]

            Meanwhile Alvarez has one or two wins over ggg the power pressure boxer-puncher
            Alvarez got BULLIED by Bivol and couldn't hurt him. Beterbiev hits FAR HARDER than Bivol. Canelo is to small for 175. He cant stop 168 pounders. Hes really a 154-160 pound fighter. He started at welterweight.

              I suppose you are right, anything can happen once the bell rings. Ginger is no slouch and as you said, he has one of the best chins ever. I'm just basing it off the last fights he's had with Munguia and Berlanga. I figure Beterbiev is stronger, can absorb a punch better and hits a lot harder than both.

                Indeed he did and Berbetiev's punching power is on a different level than what he's been hit with before, in my opinion. Berlanga should be fighting at 175 and he looked so much bigger than Ginger, there's no way he should be fighting at 175. I give the man credit for mixing it up with some of them bigger cats..

                  Berlanga an oversized mofo

                  he looks bigger than Beterbiev lol

                  Berl needs his size advantage that he has at 168

                    I think you're wrong, he's a flyweight I remember when he broke flyweight champ Solis jaw. Gtfoh 154-160, he used to walk in the ring at 177 pounds when he was fighting at 155, and he was 22-24 yo. Do you think we started watching boxing yesterday?

                      Alvarez is definitely no longer a 154 pounder

                      ell no

                      I always wanted to see him in person

                      how does a 5 ft 7 fight at 168 and up to 175

                      must be built like a tank with heavy bones because his chin is great
