    The Zurdo fight deserves credit yes because Zurdo was big and has had success above Light Heavyweight.

    Canelo i don't think is truly an elite 175 pounder despite his win over a totally faded Kovalev, that fight for me has an asterisk over it because Kovalev had to fight 2 months after the Yarde fight.

    To go back to my original point for me Muhammad has more quality wins against fighters who spent most of their career at Light Heavweight and who are historically very notable fighters at the weight.

    Hence that's why i rate Muhammad above Bivol as i said.

    This. Let's not forget ginger stuck Kovalev with a rehydration clause as well.
