    He's built his name being the guy Canelo wouldn't fight and subsequently been elevated by boxing hipsters (like you) way beyond his achievements. He's not that guy, nor "different".
    On the contrary your hate is deluding you. If you think Zurdo beats David, you should not talking about boxing on forums. David is better than Zurdo in basically every aspect of boxing. Bivol is also very basic compared to what David does in the ring. Just a basic outside 1-2 fighter. The stuff David does in the ring is much harder to do and requires more skill.

          His footwork allows him to hover around in the pocket and operate from both sides, he is sometimes completely on the side of guys , they see nothing in front, while he is getting off with a full arsenal. It's so basic that not many in the sport can do that.

          Apparently footwork only matters when you're on the outside

            silly statement

            your worst meh footwork works until it doesn’t work

            Dave inferior feet would get timed

            And be out of position to attack and defend

            boxing circles around Dave

            He’d need effective footwork to regularly get Bivol on the ropes and have a chance

            lacking footwork results in looking silly like manny v Floyd

              Yarde was holding his arm in place at the time, which was a bad strategy as it allowed David to keep him in place and bash the sense out of him.

                manny landed the vast majority of clean punches in that fight. you seem to be tthinking going backwards and creating so much distance you cant reach your opponent with effective punches is "good" footwork. manny used his footwork to get close and land those clean hard shots that rocked floyds head around. floyd used his to do that little air jab that barely grazed pac and made no impact. thats not a good example of using footwork to set yourself up for success.

                  Yeah, but unfortunately, Bivol has gone on the side of a milk carton when his comes to this cereal box.
