Why did Canelo move up to LHW for Kovalev, but can't do the same for Bivol & Beterbiev?

    yes, that is even a better question. Why the **** bivol and beterbiev have never fought each other after so many years? because they have had time for 3 trilogies. o_O

    There u can see how blind Canelo fans dont know **** about boxing,How can u compare Callum Smith,Joe Smith,Bivol and Beterbiev who hit harder than all the other boxer in division at 175lbs and little ginger ,who as start at 154 pounds.It's so illogical! common it's not because u beats somes *****'s at 168 that u can beat fighter's who are bigger,more durable(they use to receive hard shot at they weight category) and can actually punch...not like feather fist Caleb Plant.

    Canelo beats Bivol.
    But Beterbiev beats Canelo.

    That's canelos limit it stops at 175 at Beterbiev

    Horrible fighter Andrade is better option. Canelo became slick fighter hunter. He should beat Boo Boo.

    Because Kovalev was old and past his best. He'll never fight the young and good competion.

    the canelo fight was offered to beterbiev, but his team turned it down, said they had other plans. so team canelo went to kovalev, who took the fight, then complained about it when he got poleaxed. people want to talk about canelo fans, well theres your heros for you.

    Bivol and Beterbiev are of course way too big risk for him.I believe they both will win in a real fight, not fixed.But now with the pandemic, they realize there is no time for them to became great, no money, and maybe it's better to take some cash.Soon we will see Canelo against one of them.

    do u have prove of that? i think not.I have a interview with his coach Marc Ramsey who says otherwise...teams Canelo want only to look good
    because they say that but it never reach outside the gym of Canelo.

    Boxing politics and contracts. Imagine if this were true in the 20th century...No AliFrazier trilogy, No Gatti-Ward, no LaMotta-Robinson, no Greg-Tunney etc etc. And people wonder why MMA/UFC is taking the big share of martial arts aficianados.

    Satisfied with what?

    Canelo is an ATG but where's does he want to be ranked on the list. I think beterbiev beats him. But canelo is still an ATG. I think his run stops there.
