Comments Thread For: Manager: Bivol Not Chasing Canelo Fight Just For A Payday, He's Chasing A Legacy

[Blueboy3]

Lol Bivols team pretending Beterbiev don't exist, calling out canelo 100 times, but whens last time he mentioned beterbiev

[emceetns]

Well until Canelo selects an opponent I can't blame Bivol or anyone else for trying to get that assignment. Now once Canelo selects someone else then I would expect Bivol to push for a unification with Beterbiev if he genuinely cares about legacy.

Bivol vs Canelo is a great matchup, a 50-50 imho for both guys but if Bivol were really about legacy he would look for undisputed at LHW and would look for that Beterbiev fight, right now Beter is the man at 175.

Of course he's said numerous times that he would move down to 168 to fight Canelo so a fight at 168 would be a great one.

Zzzzz I'm a big Bivol fan but I don't want to see this fight. Canelo is boring. I want to see Bivol face interesting entertaining opponents. Canelo almost lost to Austin Trout at 154 and needed WBC open scoring to help him, he got wobbled by Liam Smith at 154, he barely beat Lara at 154, old GGG who struggled with a welterweight Brook, a B+ Danny Jacobs, and a B+ Dereyvanchenko arguably beat him at 160, but this is supposed to be an interesting opponent for people? Come on.

I know Canelo is Mexican, and boxing has a big Mexican fanbase. I know he is good looking, and has a unique look for a Mexican. But boxing is a SPORT. Canelo is a good athlete don't get me wrong, but just look at what actually happened in the ring, he's just not that interesting.

Manny Pacquiao, he is interesting, elite athlete, proven performances in the ring dominating A+. Dmitry Bivol at 168 and 175, he is interesting, elite athlete, was in the ring against guys on Trout or Liam Smith level and unlike Canelo, barely ever did a round get scored against him.

These are top fighters. Mikey Garcia back at 135, barely ever lost a round. Lomachenko. Usyk. Crawford. Guys who barely ever lose a round against Liam Smith or Trout or possibly even a Danny Jacobs. Even Alfredo Angulo was appearing to get to Canelo late before stopped it.

I'm not saying Canelo wont win his fights. We know how boxing is, Canelo will probably not lose a fight until maybe the very end of his career, or maybe 1 out of a trilogy he will lose or something like that, but I'm just not interested, and that's another reason.

[Get em up]

Let's get one thing straight. Bivol is the one who has been saying that he would go down to 168 for a fight with Canelo. If he doesn't want that, then don't be saying it.

I'm well aware of that. I think it's a terrible idea if he does it and agrees to a dehydration clause. It will be his demise. I could see Canelo fighting him only if the dehydration clause is there.

Here's legacy but we know the game. He is trying to age out Beterbiev, same BS they are doing at welterweight with Crawford. The fight was offered to him over 1 yr ago.

Canelo won’t even mention his name out of fear

i love the notion that a guy who was fighting floyd at 152 at age 23...is ducking a 175lber that turned pro at like age 28 and just made himself a viable name at the end of 2019....yeah canelo has really been plotting the "age out" of artur beterbiev....LMFAO

Nice try! But most gyms worldwide love Canelo’s style and Ring IQ. There’s no reason why boxing youngies, enthusiasts, trainers, pros, have no problem with Canelo at #1. To even say Canelo is “boring,” means you’ve never sparred in your life. I’ve sparred many styles, some styles that I myself lose control and go wreckless, sometime conservative. Sometimes you spar with real hard hitters too. Point is, Canelo’s style and technique is what many fighters strive to do. Power punching may seem childish to you, but in the boxing gym it’s no joke.

Boxing Logic huh? It looks like logic is something you lack. Jacobs B+ , Chenko B+, GGG Barely beat Brook? I guess by if by barely you mean getting your orbital bone smashed in and GKTFO, than yeah, he barely beat Brook... And as far as losing rounds, Who the hell has Crawford and Loma beat? Name one solid name on those guys Resume? Loma got his a** whipped by his daddy Salido for crying out loud and Loma never wanted to hear Salidos name ever again, ran like a punk, Sounds like jealousy to me...

[bluebeam]

Bivol vs Beterbiev would be for the WBC, IBF, WBA light heavyweight championship and yet he never mentions the fight


Bivol is starting to piss me off
