    Beterbiev needs a quick fight before Ramadan happens

    And then hopefully a big fight in September

    Golovkin's power was hugely overrated. Danny Jacobs exposed GGG.

    Beterbiev is the real deal.

    Canelo and Reynoso will swerve Beterbiev.

    And with his catlike reflexes and ability to roll with the punches he rarely gets hit clean.

    They do.

    Blame the promoters.

    Bivol was waiting for the Canelo pey day while Beterbiev wanted unification fights.

    Alvarez defense would get him through the rough times in that fight but Saul has a good chin if he has to use it.

    Of course, guaranteed...

    If he fights Bivol he's ducking Beterbiev. If he fights Beterbiev he fighting the old man instead of the prime fighter.

    Canelo almost never fights punchers. That's why he was so eager to fight plant and not benvenidez

    Canelo had goals to become the first Undisputed champion from Mexico and in Super Middleweight History, he had to fight Plant.

    CA's head movement is incredible, like you said, very hard to catch him flush

    wont even be competitive. beterbiev is done. canelos movement will have him looking amateurish. might have been a fight a couple years back, now it will be obvious hes no longer near that level. sucks cause i really want to see canelo have to dig deep to pull off a win. hes had it too easy since ggg. i hope makabu at least drops him.
