Comments Thread For: Bivol Still Wants Canelo: We Don't Have Opponents, Let's Fight!

[Jab jab boom]

I was getting roasted for saying that Derev was good enough to face and potentially beat Canelo back when he initially turned down the mandatory. They flip the script really quickly when it suits them. How could they downplay Bivol... A man who in his last four fights alone has beaten Sullivan Barrera, Isaac Chilemba, Jean Pascal and Joe Smith Jr, all with relative ease. He's top notch, I'm glad his fans underestimate Dmitry because Canelo might be gassed up enough to have a go and be proven to be sorrily mistaken.

well there are 2 types of fans when it comes to Canelo. Ones who only love Canelo so they've hardly even heard of bivol or anyone he's beaten. Then there's Canelo fans who know exactly who bivol is and deep in their hearts, they know he's a problem, so they proactively try to dismiss him as a non-threat instead of admitting he may whoop that ass.

So they're either clueless or deluded. Sounds like the fanbases of most money fighters.

Bivol is a problem, I think he whoops canelos ass

Bivol is a tough out for anyone, including Canelo, but it would be an interesting fight. I would rather that Canelo continue fighting at 160 -- first Derevyanchenko, then Andrade, then Charlo and then whoever.

Hahahahahahahahaha

Yea, I know, right?
Canelo will never fight a nobody whose above his NORMAL weight class. No money there.

[Southpawology]

This would be a good fight but doubt this ever pops off

[Boxing Scene]

All these people saying Canelo will do this, Canelo will do that. Canelo ain't doing **** without some kind of an advantage.

Bivol would put a beating on Canelo and that’s why it’ll never happen

Canelo wants to pick up an easy title by beating a faded, old alcoholic in Kovalev. If he really wants a challenge and be the warrior he says, then fight someone like Bivol.

Canelo would never get in the ring with him.

He did indeed. Made Joe Smith Jr look startlingly average too, even power wise. Which I believe whole heartedly he isn't. Still the only man to have ever knocked out Bernard Hopkins and that was no easy feat. If you survive that punch, your chin is most likely really good. Bivol is also very fast and technically astute. How do Canelo fans even think if they can't understand what Bivol brings to the table?

JSJ isn't the most talented, but he can crack. I'd probably put him top 3 at 175 power wise with Beterbiev and Callum Johnson (Kovalev having regressed in his age. not a knock on him)

Yeah you're right Beterbiev and Johnson are just about the hardest hitters in the division and its no stretch whatsoever to put Joe Smith Jr there. His fists contain little sticks of C4 in em. Come to think of it, even Anthony Yarde deserves a shout for his hard hitting. He clearly has power despite the limited opposition he's faced so far.
