    Could Canelo beat Bivol and unify the WBA and WBO LHW titles?

    no

    I can't see Canelo beating Bivol, or Gvozdyk for that matter

    I will be pleasantly surprised if he does, but his team don't want those kind of challenges

    Bivol by decision

    12 rounds - 0 for Bivol. UD 115-113 for Canelo.

    Not sure how any Canelo fights will go since there will be brutal dehydration clauses, home decisions probably PEDs etc...

    Not even kidding this is actually possible. Bivol wins all or most rounds but doesn't totally dominate them so the bought out judges find a way to give Clenelo enough for a controversial win or draw.

    At 175 I think Bivol wins comfortably. He may not be exciting but he's very hard to beat.

    Bivol should win, he's bigger and at a stylistic advantage. Canelo never liked movers, Khan, Mayweather, Lara, Trout ect. showed this and Bivol is longer and just as skilled as all but Mayweather. He should win, however Canelo's judges and what we can assume will come from flashy body work and head-movement will probably get him a SD or a draw.

    Bivol took Smith's best, he can take Canelo's.

    You'll score every round for Bivol no matter what happens in the rounds, then you'll cry if Canelo gets the decision.

    I am not sold on Bivol. I think he struggled with Joe Smith Jr personally.....

    I would like to see Bivol vs Beterbiev this year and then Canelo vs Beterbiev May 2021.

    Let's hope Bivol doesn't start feinting!

    I doubt Bivol would bite on Canelo feints like Floyd did.

    LOL It's funny you point that out. You notice when fanboys heros lose a close fight, they score the fight exactly how the "corrupt judges" do, only opposite. They give their hero every close round. Blind to their own hypocracy and hate. SMH

    Only if he fights him at 160 while being juiced, like he was vs ggg and with the help of judges. Canelo is unstoppable.
