    so what if they dont have a fanbase, they own between them 3 pieces of the undisputed crown dont they? That fight needs to happen next year for the sake of Boxing.

    Thanks for posting...it's a shame Beterbiev didn't fight as often, he could have been a big star....now he is old and who knows how many fights left in him.

    Bivol Vs Beterbiev needs to happen
    Then the winner will have enough belts to attract Canelo for a big payday.

    It pains me to share this recent upload off Top Rank's official YT channel

    But it would've pained me had it gone the other way too

    Epic fight. Should have been his glory moment and the stepping stone to bigger things but then Covid19 happened.....

    Gvozdyk couldn't put Beterbiev down - depsite putting Adonis Stevenson into a coma - but people think Beterbiev has a weak chin and Canelo will be the one to KO him :lol:

    People.....Canelo is not punching any harder now than he did at 160lbs. His skills have travelled up NOT his power.

    True enough , to fight Beterbiev would entail a tweaked plan of GGG 1...but run faster & loosen those ropes...
    Canelo skillset is a level or two higher than Artur...but there is no way Canelo could risk pausing or getting tired in there...unless Artur has been dried to a husk...

    I agree but his career has probably been the most frustrating for me out of any fighter I'm a fan of and sadly what with him turning 37 next month, all the inactivity, the injuries, and the 300 + extensive amateur career etc. I think he's on the slide now and is likely ripe for the picking by the right opponent.

    Sadly I agree.

    However I hope he has one big fight and can KO a big name like Canelo. That would be the icing on the cake.

    Bivol and Beterbiev shouldn't fight and break each other. They should fight Western fighters.

    Oops, I was wrong. Bivol wants to unify with AB.
    Fight won't happen unless major cracks show up. Hope Beterbiev is retired by then instead of doing a Kovalev.

    I would prefer that they smash everyone else first. Leave fighting each other for the end.

    They need to fight each other now this is no different than Spence-Crawford who need to fight each other as well ASAP. Both fights need to big made and are huge for the division.

    No. They can sweep the LHW division then settle things in Moscow. Don't let any undeserving guy benefit by destroying each other.
