    In fairness, we don’t know how Beterbiev would react to Canelo’s biscuits bicep attack. He would give Beterbiev a nice bruise on his arm before getting brutally KOd by Beterbiev.

    He ducked GGG & meekly handed back the WBC title rather than be a man & defend it, claiming he wasn't really a Middleweight. Now you saying he shouldn't fightBeterbiev because he's not a Lt Heavyweight. So youre actually saying what we all say Canelo is a fraud!!!!!!!

    Only the Larazas and some Void fanboys thought this, we know who they are.

    I think is a 60/40 fight for Beterbiev. One loss to a great fighter like Bivol doesn't erase what Canelo has achieved and continues to achieve in the ring. If he can use his foot work like in the first GGG fight and stay away from Beterbiev he got a chance, against Bivol he'll need to figure out how to deal with Bivol's jab and fight in the inside on their rematch. BTW, I think GGG won both times against Canelo, but still I'm a Saul's fan

    Canelo never wanted to fight Beterbiev for a second. Look at that interview where they asked him Benavidez or Beterbiev. I honestly think he would have a better chance against Usyk, and I think he believes the same thing. Beterbiev would brutalize Canelo.

    I’m a Canelo fan and I think he’s an ATG. He has zero chance of beating Beterbiev. It honestly sounds the same as asking Inoue to fight Fury. Inoue is still a great and a real beast, but he can’t do anything to Fury.

    Inoue KOs Fury in 6. Inoue might suffer a flash knockdown, though.

    I think the weight wouldn't be a big problem when he returns to LHW as it was against Bivol. I think he needs to work on his speed and how to get in the inside on this division. I also think GGG is in the same ballpark as Beterbiev in terms of durability and punching power and he took GGG twice although I think he lost both he was in the fight both times. Joe Smith Jr style's was tailor made for Beterbiev, Canelo should have a better game plan

    It's rather comical. Not only do they predictably completely underrate the skill set of fighters like Beterbiev and often overrate the skill sets of their favs but the fact that Beterbiev is used to getting hit on the chin by big/huge punching LHWs and HWs in the amateurs and his murderous power is freakish for the LHW division not SMW or MW is somehow lost on them too

    We have teak-tough HWs like Usyk who was much heavier than him and has fought lots of punchers and huge punchers at CW/HW/SHW saying he was his toughest opponent and praising his power

    Beterbiev scored a lot of stoppage wins when he campaigned up at HW in the ams with big gloves and headgear on despite giving away at least 14lbs to most of his opponents and stoppage wins are obviously less common in the ams than they are in the pros

    When he fought the also teak-tough heavier Michael ''The Bounty'' Hunter Jr., who campaigned at SHW facing giants like Fury for most of his senior amateur career whereas Beterbiev campaigned down at 175 for most of his, in the Olympics, even though it was a razor-close bout, Hunter was the one looking uncomfortable trying to deal with Beterbiev's physicality, strength and power not the other way round as it was with Usyk when he fought Beterbiev

    Beterbiev is not a drunk six round tank shell of Kovalev throwing pity pats all night or a lighter punching Bivol in cruise control

    Bivol was meant to be light work for Clenelo according to many, the same people who predictably underrated his skills too

    A prime Kovalev would've euthanized Clenelo

    To be honest though, I don't think anyone legitimately believed that

    The vast majority of boxing people voted GGG won both fights especially the first fight. I think GGG won the second by absolutely boxing Canelo's ears off . GGG was robbed of his titles by corruption. If the third fight happens & its in Vegas Everyone KNOWS all Canelo has to do is be standing at the final bell & he knows he will not be allowed to lose. The State Commission knows this as well as we do too much $$$$$ involved to let Canelo lose. Bivol boxed a near shut out yet the judges still had it razor close in other words they screwed up

    Inoue's amateur record is 75-6 with 48 KOs for a 64% KO rate with massive pillows and headgear.
