How is Bivol able to get away with it?

Crawford and Spence have been doing their shitty little dance for what, 5 years? Bivol fought Canelo -> Zurdo. There's nothing to see here. These Russian/EE fighters get one shot at a payday, and that's it. Crawford and Spence make millions fighting rank 30 guys. You could've watched Gvozdyk get his brain bruised by Beterbiev ringside for like $75. It's an entirely different level of risk for them.

That said, despite the higher career risk, these guys seem more willing than anyone to gamble it all for legacy. This fight will happen.

 

We would all like to see undisputed, but Bivol really had to build himself up for this to be marketable. The Canelo fight put him on the map. If it doesn't happen soon you might have a point, but fair play up to now.

 

There has been no duck.

yes they should fight and it s alogical fight but has it really been on the books?Talked?Negotiated?
Nah.
You could make the same case for Beterbiev.

 

Kovalev avoided Artur knowing how dangerous he was. Ward would have been destroyed, although a fully PEDDed son of headbutt getting a refereee in his hometown allowing headbutts and low blows would not be surprising. Stevenson ducked most of his career until he fought the Nail, and we all saw what happened. Gvozdyk got nailed, ironically. Canelo has avoided easier fighters than AB so he won't be allowed to fight by Daddy. Pascal is tough but he will get hurt by AB. Jack, Bellew, come on.

Beterbiev is arguably pfp right now, except for Usyk's feats at HW. Bivol knows he is going to be in a world of pain if they fought, probably trying to age him out.

 

Bivol isn't ducking anyone

This thread is daft as a brush

 

Yarde would knock Zurdo out so would Smith too.

 

He can't even beat Lyndon Arthur in one try. Zurdo's win over Vlasov overshadows Yarde's entire career by so much it's not even funny. The only top 40 opponent Yarde has ever beaten was only ranked in the top 40 because he beat Yarde. Get a grip

 

Zurdo is Chavez Jr 2.0. Talented but has no heart or desire. He wouldn't dig deep enough to live with the pressure Yarde brings.

Also that 10 round win over Vlasiv was back in 2015, back when he might have had some heart.

 

There's nothing either guy can do. Beterbiev wants the fight but Hearn wont let TR take on Bivol until he rematches Canelo. Beterbiev simply stuck fighting mandatories :-/

 

If they both win their next fights, as I think they will, it's the only logical fight out there for any of them. If one of them does a Fury at that point, yes, we're looking at a ducker, but we're not there yet.

 

Perfectly said as we have been wanting them to fight for so long much before the Canelo fight was even talked about between them two,
another fighter is Munguia who is yet to fight a top opponent.

 

Kinda like Floyd ducking Pac for years , then Margarito also Canelo for avoiding GGG till he 'd got grey whiskers even then still needing his "help" like getting decisions he didn't deserve

 

LOL Your idol Floyd was the ultimate ducker Heck he even quacks when he speaks lol

 

ROFLMAO Yet Canelo claimed to be World Middleweight Champion when he beat Cotto yet cowardly handed back the title because he was scared to defend it against GGG claiming he wasn't a 160 fighter ROFLMAO.
Handed it back like a coward even his own countrymen disowned him. That wonder beef has Canelo going up & down weights like a yo yo
