    dang near impossible. but if you bring only a belt, then youre worth what youre worth. canelo brings millions to the table, hes worth what hes worth. 2 grown men are deciding whats worth what to them.

    No it isn't. It's generic rhetoric which is nothing to do with me or what I posted.

    i personally dont care where he fights. i can gauge how much of a challenge it is on a fight by fight basis. i know which fights are gimmes, like plant, and which are achievements based on difficulty. thats what im gonna measure when i line him up next to past greats.

    Clenelo can never have a fight on even terms. Always gotta have an advantage.

    If he can make the weight, it’s fine. But we all see Clenelo’s games.

    My view on this from Bivol's perspective, is yes, he said he could make 168, but under what circumstances?

    + I'm betting it was said with a clear insurance policy that his 175 title would NOT be on the line
    + I'm betting it was contingent on a number of other points probably difficult to achieve now, such as a longer training camp to make 168 comfortably, ensuring the fight date was acceptable.

    This is what sucks about the whole A-side, diva antics in modern boxing - any contender will bend over backwards and compromise themselves in multiple ways just for a piece of the pie, and the A-side knows it and maximises every advantage accordingly.

    Bivol should be very clear here and say, yes - happy to fight at 168 for the 168 titles.
    Want the 175 title? Then we fight at 175.

    This will be like the Cotto 155/160 thing all over again, Canelo captures Bivols belt @170 catchweight, then vacates to avoid Beterbiev at the full 175 - just like when he vacated to avoid a closer-to-prime-GGG.

    I hope Bivol tell's him he's having a giraffe!

    This catchweight is stupid. Canelo has always rehydrated to a light heavyweight from years ago, hes over 180 pounds. Bivol doesn't even cut weight probably look at his body fat and musculature. He's always been a light heavy.

    Btw, i dont remember Bivol saying that he can make 168 in 5 weeks on short notice, you also need 2 weeks to acclimate. If drainelo catchwarez really wants that fight he would allow Bivol fight at 175. Bivol aint a puncher and canela got judges in his pocket anyway...
