Just the first 2 fights of Canelo/GGG (not counting the 3rd) vs the Beterbiev vs Bivol fights Not the scoring or the fighters ranking Strictly just the fights themselves What was a better 2 fight series
Canelo vs GGG. In the first fight, Bivol fought evasively all night, and in the second half of the match, he took a one-sided beating from Beterbiev continuously.
Canelo and GGG's styles meshed way better. Far more cohesive fights with better exchanges, more versatile fighters, and more swings in action. I'm actually quite surprised that a third of the votes have gone to Beterbiev-Bivol.
I thought the Bivol-Beterbiev fights were a letdown. They were high-level technical fights for sure, but fights need to have swings in action like you said and memorable rounds/punches. There weren't any "high-drama/unforgettable" moments like you do with other legendary fights. Sure, I might go back and watch the fights one day and I would tune in for a trilogy fight, but they don't rank highly on the list of P4P matchups in my opinion.
In all honesty neither of the fights were that memorable to me. They were both fought at a high level but there wasn't many stand out rounds or moments in either fight. Taylor/Wright McCallum/Toney Marquez/Barrera Taylor/Prograis Holmes/Norton Gonzalez/Estrada Were much better technical fights with good action.
I want to see Benavidez vs Beterbiev more than Benavidez vs Bivol, Canelo vs Crawford, Usyk vs Kabayel etc.
