It is Canelo, but He's been busy jumping 2 weight classes over the span of 3 years so i can see why he was granted such leniency over the last few years.
Bivol already said it several times that he is willing to fight Alvarez even at 168. It is obvious that Alvarez won't fight the best light heavyweights at 175, only drained corpses like Kovalev. And I would rather see Alvarez fight a real elite boxer like Bivol instead of someone like Plant.
Bivol said that he can easily make 175, even if he eats breakfast before the weigh-in. So moving down to 168 would not be a big deal for him.
The pandemic was early 2020 He hasn’t defended since early 2019 He could have done it near the end of 2019 or early 2020 prior to Covid
Hey, if you want to campaign in multiple divisions and still hold onto your title, you have to find the time to fight and make your mandatory.
I would have to see it to believe it. I think Bivol could put Canelo through it, but Canelo don't lose on points, they give Canelo judges virtual reality glasses before every fight.
