Comments Thread For: Arum: Not Fair For Canelo To Fight Guy As Big As Beterbiev

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

PHILADELPHIA Facing Canelo Alvarez would offer Artur Beterbiev the highest-profile, most profitable fight he could take within the light heavyweight division. If Alvarez beats WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev on November 2 in Las Vegas, the Mexican icon undoubtedly will be asked about remaining at 175 pounds to battle Beterbiev. But not even Bob Arum, whose company co-promotes Beterbiev, believes that's a reasonable request.

If Canelo beats Kovalev, I think he is crazy enough to consider it.

... and, at least, Arum proves that he doesn't have that Alzheimer's disease so far...

You're talking about meatballs here. He only fights the weakest in every division since he can't legitimately beat the best.

Beterbiev is smaller than Kovalev.

Arum: Not Fair For Canelo To Fight Guy As Big As Beterbiev. What kind of statement is that? Canelo is fighting Sergey Kovalev who is 6ft but Artur Beterbiev is only 5'11

[PRchamp]

Arum in full desperation mode to sign Canelo in the future once Canelo has another hissy fit.

I can’t wait till Arum is gone and Top Rank goes with him. Biggest crook in boxing

[MDPopescu]

... people forget that Beterbiev actually fought at 200 lb in the amateurs...

According to Wikipedia Beterbiev is an even 6ft.

[SN!PER]

Beterbiev has the style and power to hurt Canelo, that's the problem.

He just wouldn't be able to sustain that for 12 rounds.

Arthur vs. Gassiev or Usyk would be interesting.
