    This guy’s have been in the same division and champions for years and have no intentions for fighting each other ! Bivol fought and probably will fight again a fighter who once fought in Walter weight and Beterbiev is fighting a Canelo leftover, Spence and Crawford got $h!t for not fighting each other what’s the excuses for this guy’s??? Let’s hear them!

    I hope so but I'm not sure if there's the money here to make the risk worth it. Sometimes that happens what a fighter makes defending his titles in routine defences isn't that much less than they would make in a unification fight.

    Like when Warren offered Ottke £1 mill to fight Calzaghe but Ottke was making that and more just to defend in Germany. Or when RJJ was at Super middle and making a guaranteed $5 mill from HBO but unification fights with the likes of Collins and Benn wouldn't of made him much more because he was already being overpaid. Or when Wilder's team approached Parker when Parker was champion, the numbers simply didn't add up according to Parker to make it worth while for either fighter to unify.

    Probably never. For 1 Suliaman wont sanction the fight for the WBC, so Bivol wont become Undisputed even if he was to win, and it most likely will end up being among the top 3 or 4 of the more meaningful fights at 175 to never have taken place.

    1.) ROY-DM
    2.) STEVENSON-KOVALEV
    3.) CALZAGHE-DAWSON
    4.) BIVOL-BETERBIEV
