    Can Bivol dominate 168?
    Bivol vs Callum smith
    Bivol vs Benavidez
    Bivol vs Caleb plant etc...

    Bivol could make 168lb,.....only if you cut his leg off.

    Probably could have before. Now I feel like he’d have to drain himself to get to smw. Could still beat all those guys you mentioned

    He always looked to me like he could and has been talking about it for ages.

    But I guess if he coulda we woulda.

    Like TFU said might weaken him now days.

    Today he beats these three at 168, 175, whatever.

    I think if you give Benavidez a little more time, 2-3 years, that becomes a really appealing matchup (probably at LHW).

    he could cut his water, get down to 168, then bulk up to 185... that would give him an edge

    Bivol would have a hell of a shot against Canelo. He would beat Plant and Smith.

    Probably could make 168.

    Hes not some beast at 175 like Smith or Beterbiev.

    Bivol could conceivably dominate at 168 IF draining the weight does not take to heavy a toll.

    Bivol looks tiny at 175lb and he doesnt have the power to take the top guys out...

    He looked a weight class lower that Craig Richards in his most recent fight.

    I would like to see him drop to 168lbs as I think so long as he wasnt weight drained he would carry more power at that weight.
