    How do you know Beterbiev wouldn't throw the fight?
    How do you know Kovalev took a dive?
    Because Ramzan Kadyrov would have Beterbiev murdered or thrown into Khankala prison if he dishonoured the Chechens by throwing the fight.

      Because Clenny isn't ready to commit suicide?

      Preserving life?

      Death?

        Thanks for the idea.
        So in other words you're just trolling. Good to know

          fraudnelo should fight beterbiev next, he said kovalev was the best at 175 so that means beterbiev will be easier.

            Canelo is going to fight twice a year going forward, 1 will be a warm up, the other will be a big money marque fight. If Beterbiev can build his name up he could get the fight in a couple years, right now he's just a very good LHW with no drawing power.

            Canelo's next big fight will probably be at 168 vs GGG or maybe Callum Smith who almost has a big enough name to warrant a fight of this magnitude.

              Power punchers always become attractions. Golovkin and Kovalev both benefited from this.

                Because Beterbiev isn’t old and faded and would smash Canelo at 175, not to mention he isn’t a big name.

                That’s not a knock on Canelo, he isn’t a real light-heavyweight and he isn’t ****** either. He picked Kovalev for reasons we all already knew but i don’t blame him for not wanting a part of the younger champs at 175, just as i wouldn’t expect the likes of Crawford to go up to 160 to fight someone like Canelo really.

                Canelo picked Kovelev because he was a biggest name and most vulnerable and faded champ at 175 to pick up a title, not because he wanted the best challenge there.

                  Because Beterbiev won't take a dive ala Kovalev (who is being sued by two different women for millions of dollars).

                    Is the real reason because Beterbiev won't throw the fight for $14m because he's not ready to cash out and he does not have two female assault victims henpecking him for million dollar settlements?

                    Because Canelo has that fat contract with DAZN. Beterbiev will batter Canelo and knock him out and damage the brand. He might never recover from such a beating he will end up like Angulo.

                      In 1988 Ray Leonard won the WBC light heavyweight crown. Why didn't he face Virgil Hill or Prince Charles Williams, co-titlists of that period? There are about a dozen valid reasons. Its got nothing to do with any lack of character or a need to prove anything. When fighters attain that level, such as Canelo has, and before him, Leonard, they've earned the right to go after only what benefits their name, monies earned, all with minimum risk.
