I agree, I don't think he'll do well.

Shhhhhh Larry, you’ll upset his feminine man fans

[PredatorStyle]

He should focus on GGG if he really cares about his legacy.

Larry pretty much said how I felt about this fight.

Its obvious to the world and even his most dedicated Mexican fans he and his team and GB carefully chose the weakest link in the chain. Come-on boxing fans it's Canelo ,what would you expect?

[boxingfan4ever]

I am not with Larry...i think that Canelo have to stay like a light heavy weight. If Canelo get back to middle weight or super middle weight he is going to be defeated. In light heavy weight he is a little slow, but more quick that all boxers in that division. Canelo is going to beat Bivol. And against Beterbiev is going to be a 50-50 megafight!

If a Hopkins fight is arranged Canelo will knock him out as well and further cement his legacy.

It’s true Alvarez couldn’t get to Kovalev but it’s also impressive that Kovalev, the bigger man, couldn’t trouble him with anything and was actually on the run. It would be really interesting to see canelo agains a LH that stands and trades with him.
