    Just because it happens doesn't make it a good thing.

    As I said, the post is just generic rhetoric. It's meaningless.

    I said he went up to 175 to fight Kovalev, but he won't go all the way to fight Bivol, indicating some kind of reluctance.

    You started going on about Kovalev being washed up, Golovkin knocking out Beterbiev, and some obscure demand for consistency.

    It's totally unrelated to what I said. I actually think it's totally unrelated to anything I've ever said.

    As I said, generic rhetoric.

    Well I said Canelo moved to full 175 for Kovalev.

    Please explain how your reply is actually a reply to that?

    Or was just you just asking a random set of questions?

    So what's the rest of your post about, it certainly doesn't relate to what I posted?

    I'll try and assume it's just a genuine back and forth.

    So as you day, he's done it before, so imo he should do it again.

    The victory over Kovalev was great. I mens it seems now the guy is a raging alcoholic but that ain't Canelos fault. I thought he'd get destroyed and instead he knocked him spark out. Best victory by any fighter below 175 imo.

    Beterbiev is old, but he's also the LHW champion of the world, again that ain't Canelos fault.

    Of course Golovkin would receive credit for beating Beterbiev, why wouldn't he?

    What level of consistency do you seek?

    never mind. if i didnt explain my thoughts clearly enough, then thats on me. the story lies in the posts themselves, which ive already posted 3 separate times. its not that important.

    Which brings us back to, my issue is he went to 175 for Kovalev, but not Bivol.

    To me this hints of a bit of uncertainty at his chances of beating Bivol at 175.

    Everyone knows going down in eight can be detrimental. No other reason he wanted him to drop down. Always gotta be something...

    Clenelo knows like no other about cutting weight, he is a king of cw. Bivol has to fly to US, waste some time acclimating and have only 4 weeks or so to cut the weight and prepare for a fight, which is nearly impossible for a fight of this magnitude. I am pretty sure midget doesnt want to fight Bivol, so he forced catchweight. If Bivol declines, Canelo can say "I tried to fight him, but he didnt accept the terms", if Bivol says yes, he gonna be a zombie after horrible training camp. Its win-win situation for a ginger diva.

    could be. that would certainly fall along with what his team said immediately after the fight. they said he would be going back down in weight because they saw that he had lost too much speed at 175. and he was down on the cards at the time of the ko, at least on my scorecard. so it makes sense to me. as much as his haters like to pretend canelo is a lh that just boils down, hes not a big guy.

    to further illustrate my point about the logic of hate thats been created in the esb bubble. canelo is being accused of draining bigger guys, like bivol, cause they know how detrimental it is to their performance. then in the very next post, they accuse canelo of draining HIMSELF, to get an advantage over guys at 160 and 168. do you see the ridiculousness of their logic and what inspires it?
