    No it doesn't. Having one real fight does not exclude other fights from being fixed. Its not rocket science.

    Cherrypick gone wrong - which Hearn admitted to in Bivols post fight conference.

    It's not as simple as that you moron. Again having some fixed fights does not exclude there being real fights. Is that really hard to understand? Billy Joe Saunders came to win and so did Bivol.

    Hearn clearly stated in Bivols post fight conference that if not for Bivols last two mediocre erformances this fight wouldn't have happened. Canelo and his team clearly believed their own fake hype here and miscalculated thinking Bivol wasa basic fighter.. And bam, Canelo gets embarrassed and shown up

    Pretty sure Scott took a dive against Wilder too... does that mean everyone was taking dives against Wilder? No it doesn't!
    Same goes for Green/Briggs, Ali/liston etc... one dive doesn't mean everyone's diving.

    No, because we've seen Canelo is terrible so it just proves that not just Kovalev but any alcoholic on the cusp of middle age could have won that night.

    Edit: I had a stale version of this page. Didn't realize someone actually posted this already.

    Yes I did. I was wrong. I also said if it was a real fight, he would school him

    What Canelo fights are fixed besides maybe the Kovalev fight ? Yildrim was basically a journeyman who Canelo dominated as hebshould and Callum Smith got outclassed and a busted arm.

    Dive talk is for excuse makers and haters with no credibility.

    Canelo's team underestimated Bivol, they thought he wasn't a ko threat and Canelo would win enough rounds for the bribed judges to give him the win.

    So the "bribed" judges decided to double-cross Canelo? LOL

    They did their part of the job but Canelo couldn't get somewhat competitive in more than 3 rounds. They have a false integrity image to protect.

    But wasn't it that all Canelo had to do was show up and just be on his feet after 12 rounds?
