Hey, I would MUCH rather Beterbiev and Bivol fight each other, and you will see in other threads I have stated it's my best fight just now. And I don't blame the fighters - I blame the promoters who both jancy a bit of the Canelo pie - when Canelo moved up to fight Kov he opened that possibility for both. Hearn has been terrible for Bivol, and I believe Hearn is using Bivol as a path for Buatsi. But Beterbiev v Bivol is THE fight @175 - agreed. However that doesn't change that fact that Canelo is passing those 2 fighers by...
I am intrigued… even at 190, cruiser is a big jump that constitutes a bigger challenge than anybody at 168. Canelo is going to have to counter judiciously as he won’t be able to walk down or bully Makabu. Also happy for Makabu cos that pey dey is going to go a long way in Kinshasa.
Hes chertypicking hes fighting Makabu cause he doesnt want to fight the likez of Benavidez,Bivol or Beterbiev wich all of them would be harder than Makabu.
Of course it's a cherry pick Shadow111. Also the names you mentioned in your wall of text. Who are they? No I don't want him to fight people I have never heard of. This is about context there is none if you a selectively picking whilst claiming your are fighting for legacy. Ali is held in high regard because his resume at the weight is deep and has context as many fought each other. I have maintained in previous threads that Joe Calzaghe. Roy Jones and Andre Ward dismantle Canelo at smw better than GGG at middle. Unifying is an achievement but also have to accept that the division is in a trough it's lowest in its history and at any other time Canelo picks the most vulnerable at that weight and then moves upto light heavy.
My thoughts exactly Also intrigued and have no issue with this fight. Canelo has just fought every champion at 168 to unify the whole division so to be honest, he can do whatever the **** he wants in his next fight.
Your'e actually right about that! Marc Ramsay(Beterbiev trainer)said in a interview that there were talking with Bivol team,that was around 2 to 3years ago and everyone(both teams) want that fight.But you know what happen?Bivol went with DAZN...for somes reasons...end of story.
Canelo staying to defend at 168 would be a waste of his prime… after seeing Benavidez and Charlos’ last fights it’s clear they would be easy work. My guess is that going up to cruiser is a prelude to fighting at 175 full time and that he will never fight at 168 again… my guess is that he’ll take an “easy” fight like Joe Smith or Zurdo next September then try to unify in 2023… all of this is way more interesting than watching him counter Benavidez to an early stoppage.
He smashes everyone at 168 He's already won a title at 175 and beaten the latest addition to the division in Callum Smith comfortably. He can go up to Cruiser with the intention of beating Makabu and winning a title in yet another division whilst still being able to come back down to 175 and fight Beterbiev or Bivol.
Go fight Briedis you ***** *********. And this guy is rated as Number 1 P4P, when there is only one true P4P king and that is Oleksandr Usyk !!!!
Good. USyK will beat Joshua again and Fury twice and then he could return in the Cruisers to destroy Canelo getting one of the 10 best HWs ever as well as one of the 5 best P4P ever before retiring. But Im sure Canelo will duck the Ukrainian Destroyer.
