    There, I said it.

    Despite all the rhetoric, Bivol will want NO part of Canelo at 168, and everyone knows it

    Possibly
    He might also possibly get out classed & lose all of his 168lb tittles too.

    Why would he want no part of Canelo at 168?

    Weight played no factor in the fight. It wasn’t even size. It was all skill.

    Bivol is small for his weight, he wouldn’t be drained at 168 I dont think. It might be worse for Canelo, an even quicker Bivol

    Canelo doesn’t do anything different depending on what weight class he is fighting at, it’s all the same. Punch the arm, left to the body and when that dont work throw looping overhand rights.

    It’s not like he will be any quicker, if it’s speed he wants he needs to fight at 154-160. He just doesn’t have the attributes to contend with technicians.

    He shines against people who are past it, and out the two … Bivol is fresh

    So now we’re gonna have Canelo make Bivol drop down in weight so he has a better chance in winning the rematch? SMH :ohno

    Canelo has no business at 175, we all know that

    Let's see how things play out at his natural weight, he'd be a different beast and Bivol would soon realize that

    Bivol couldn't even hurt a Canelo that was gassed from the 4th round onwards. Nevermind about the KO, he couldn't even floor him. Bivol is a good boxer I'll give him that, but his power leaves a lot to be desired. Unable to take out a Canelo running on empty shows that

    Four excuses in 12 words. Impressive:

    1. He didn't see Bivol as a serious threat
    2. Canelo lacked motivation
    3. His power doesn't translate to 175
    4. All of this is changed by 7llbs

    Bivol already said he'd go to 168 for ginger biscuit. Your credibility is zero.

    He also agreed to a rematch clause that he has no intention of sticking to unless they offer him fresh terms. His words mean nothing. What's your point?

    I've debunked this bs already about a thousand times. Bivols a small LHW, basically super middleweight, who roughly weighed the same as Canelo fight night (2-4lbs at best heavier). Canelo would have weighed roughly the same (if not the same) fight night at both 168lbs and 175lbs (I've debunked it check my post history +). In fact Canelo has an advantage that at 175 he doesn't have to cut down much from 180-182lbs (Canelo himself claims he walked around that in his dazn broadcaster interview). Whereas he'd have to cut more for 168lbs
