    If he stops Bivol he gets into top 50.

    If he beats Beterbiev, he gets into the top 30, maybe 20.

    Don’t think so. To get into top 20 or 30 he will need to beat Bivol, Buatsi, David Benaivides, Jermall Charlo, Andrade and ascertain Erroll Spence Jr and no way does he go through these unscathed.

    You don’t think he can. I understand your thinking.

    It wouldn't blow my mind, though I expect a distance fight. I just don't think a (T)KO of Bivol, while certainly creditable, is worth that much.

    Easy work for Beterbiev. You will see.

    Forget the Golovkin fight and go straight to the King.

    It will be a big deal because Bivol is the best Light-heavyweight in the world. They may have made a mistake.

    I don't think it changes an awful lot with this victory, it just adds further depth to his resume.

    But beating Beterbiev/Smith Jr is a huge one for me.

    Why would Canelo need to beat Spence? Spence does nothing for Canelos resume lmao.

    When he defeats Crawford and is officially recognised and consensus P4P number 1 and moves up in weight they will need each other to make Mayweather vs Pacquiao money.
