    There's absolute minimal difference between Canelo at 168 lbs and 175lbs I've essentially proven it. Canelo and Bivol are also roughly the same size.. Again which I have proven. Bivol would be fighting the same one dimensional Canelo who only looks slick against 36yos

    Bivol is the champion at 175, why should he be obligated to drain himself down to 168 just because the other guy lost? Canelo just needs to stay in his lane and leave guys like Bivol and Beterbiev alone.
    I can tell that you're still hurt from that loss.

    Bivol is champion at 175, not 168. Would be dumb for him to move down. If Canelo doesn't want to fight at 175 again, fine by me. Stay at 168 and let Bivol sort things out with Beterbiev.

    Size had nothing to do with Canelo's performance, although his fans may say that. I was telling folks that if Canelo fought Bivol the same way he fought the last several fights he would get beat. He did and he did. Canelo did not jab his way in, did not use fients, very little head movement, loading up on power punches. Bivol is too good to let someone just walk in and hit him with a power shot with out a jab or mixing up the attack. As a boxing fan, you gotta know this.

    Just keep making Bivol drop down until Canelo wins. He has to win eventually. Right? Can’t wait to hear how Bivol wants no part of 147! I still think 155 is the magic number. Canelloweight! This is your PFP champ? Have you seen Usyk fight? Just asking.

    Why would Bivol fight at 168 pounds? That's ridiculous

    Why you asking me, don't be moronic, it's come from Bivol himself!

    I have doubts that Canelo risks his belts and golden goose at 168. Bivol is a small light heavyweight. He is the same height as Charlo. Canelo makes the same money fighting Charlo andade or whoever.

    It wasn't addressed to anyone particular.

    Wow. What a stupid thread.

    I should make another with "Clenelo wants no part of Errol Spence at 147 pounds"

    Man the logic. Canelo went chasing Bivol's 175 belt. Couldn't beat him at 175 so lets now start adding stipulation until Canelo wins.

    If Canelo was older he never would have fought Erik Morales at 126.

    Canelo couldn't lay a glove on Bivol, the cleanest punches he landed were a few half blocked uppercuts where he couldn't even get leverage on.
