    Bivol is Canelos biggest challenge under CW in my opinion. If Canelo beats Bivol he's undoubtedly the man. If the fight is close in a losing effort I'll give Canelo a ton of credit as well.

    Bivol was very hittable in his last 2 fights and he is feather fisted. He won't endure Canelo's powerful punches. Canelo knocks him out in round 10 or 11.

    Canelo boring UD. Bivol’s fast, durable, and moves well, but he just taps on opponents. Canelo’s gonna be the one landing the heavy shots. I miss the old Bivol that actually tried to ko people

    The scorecards will be filled the day the contracts are signed.

    with no wild judging... EZ bivol win. Canelo imo was losing in his last 2 fights vs slick boxers; i had BJS with a pretty good lead before canelo broke his face, and plant had won rounds early before canelo caught up in the scorecards and before the KO. Taking a trip down memory lane, canelo doesnt do well vs slick boxers; like PBF, lara, and jacobs. Shutout with pbf. Lara was up in my cards 8-4.

    Now to bivol. Plant and his amateur philly shell took rounds to break, but he was broken down anyway. BJS' ring movement is sublime and really caused a lot of problems. BUT bivol is a full on Boxer puncher who can fight backwards and forwards with no ease. its gonna be an easy 8-4 win for Dmitry.

    Same story. Bivol can't KO him. Canelo wins, probably by UD, maybe PED KO that even Smith couldn't achieve.
    Golovkin is a more interesting fight, since he's already beaten Canelo twice and at worst once. Golovkin might be slower but so is Canelo with his bulk.

    Good fight. Props to Team Clenbuterol. He's apparently really targeting the big boys at 175. I like that and while not being his biggest fan i respect it.

    I'm going with Clenboy by UD. Bivols style is horrible for winning fights on the road against A-sides like Clenelo. I think it'll be very competitive but i just don't see Clenboy losing as Bivolo not really packing a lot of power and his style can be overpowered which i do think Canelo will do.

    See that's what I'm thinking too. Bivol hasn't looked good recently and I think his time has passed.
    Still a good match up and much better then that cruiserweight proposed fight but Canelo stops him in side of 10.

    Steroidaul Clenelo Alvaroids will probably win a decision. Unless Bivol opens up more and lands eye catching combos. Though Canelo moves well, so won't be so easy.

    This negative spin job should be fun to watch unfold.

    Time and time, Canelo makes fools of his haters. And ive been having to continue to say that for literal years now. Not just a couple.

    Really hoping this fight happens as I think stylistically it will be great. I like Bivol by UD but I think Canelo is dangerous with his counterpunching.
