Comments Thread For: Dmitry Bivol Would Move Down To 168 Pounds To Fight Callum Smith

[STREET CLEANER]

He recognized that easy UK money.

Smith won't take it, he doesn't want to lose that 0, he's also waiting for a shot at redhead

[LetOutTheCage]

Getting sick of Bivols antics tbh, it seems quite clear he doesnt want to fight Beterbiev and is content to wait for him to get old.

Stop talking about moving down, either do so or fight the to guys in ur division...

[Bronx2245]

Smith should move to 175 and make this fight happen! He's not getting Canelo!

[Bunch Pag]

Then why doesn't he do it?

Anyone can spout...

His career is going to pass right before him and it will have been filled with 'coulda, woulda, shoulda' articles once his gloves have rotted away..

These guys should be trying to unify in their own divisions.

It was just a few months back when we were hearing how great th LHW division is and good compition there will be a endless supply. Oh yea! That was from the mouth of Top Rank. Where TR practically owned the whole division. Then they couldnt even make a title fight with Bivol and the most underrated and along with Bivol best fighter in the division "Zurdo". For crying out loud TR encouraged the 168 lb champ to vacate for these big matchups. What a shame! Bivol deserves better than a Callum Smith and for the record that camp/family will never risk their status in a sure loss, an embarrassing loss they know Bivol will put on their boy.

[just the facts]

If Bivol moved down and beat Smith (I believe he would), would that bring him closer to a Canelo fight?

" But you can earn money with him, you can make a good name for you if you [beat] him. "

Personally I would prefer if people would at least pretend they are not just in it for the money. If he had just said the second part without the first part.

Since when did we need promoters in boxing? Most boxing fans love the era's in boxing where promoters did not have such power.

All they do is pretend. Bivol is just the GGG act on repeat because it was so successful the first time, but they are all pretending, and all just circulating their names for years until enough people know them to get in big PPV fights. These people aren't really independent like you think. They prop up the casinos, the whole business. They are front men for a billion dollar industry and there are no real independent quests for greatness in the sport, that's all just to get the fans to care about one guy or another, the hero vs the villain (like Floyd who still just talks about money in every interview to troll people, same act for 15 years now). Even if Bivol wanted to fight for legacy, not money, that wouldn't benefit his managers, agents, sanctioning bodies, casinos, refs, commissioners, networks, etc etc, and if a fighter isn't already on their side to do what they want, they would never put him in front of the public in the first place. It is all completely controlled, its a joke. Thats why I dont watch anymore.

But even for all that, if the fights inside the ring were legit, I'd watch. But when everything outside the ring is pretend, why would it be any different in the ring? Food for thought.
