    Just stop with Canelo at 175. He isn't going up to 175.

    He already did and said he would again. Don't forget it was Bivol who wanted the rematch at 168.

    Wanting it and finding someone to cough up the 30+ mill just to Canelo is a whole different story. Personally I don't think Canelo wants it. He is ducking Benavidez and Bivol is better. Bivol also took Betirbiev's punches, which is way more powerful . So there isn't much I see that Canelo is going to do to win a rematch.

    There is a lot of truth to this. When he went up and took a shot he didn't have anything to lose. He couldn't lose his belt. But if its at 168 he has everything to lose.

    6 lbs ain't going to change the outcome of the rematch

    Shakira roast? Idk what you’re saying, but Nelo wants nothing to do with Bivol or Beterbiev.

    I agree, Bivol is even better now. But it'd be interesting to see how he'd approach the Canelo rematch knowing full well that a monster like Beterbiev couldn't stop him.

    He does plenty better., Firstly he is rangier, better combination puncher, , better and more versatile punch selection, and of course a great body puncher, vs Bivol who is a pretty basic fighter regardless of how good he is. Bivol does not throw any upper cuts and rarely attacks the body, certainly not like Benavidez. And Benavidez hits harder even at 175 imo.

    I'll take his word over yours, hope you don't mind.

    Even Google AI says Canelo wants it.:lol:

    does canelo want to rematch Bivol

    " Yes, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez wants to rematch Dmitry Bivol, but Bivol is not currently considering it".

    Bivol's KO reel is actually really impressive

    I think he actually hits way harder than Benavidez at 175

    If Canelo called your mother a ***** you’d probably still get on your knees and perform some unsightly acts if the opportunity presented itself. So no, I don’t mind if you take his word for it because you obviously would.

    Bivol will take a 6 month break
    Then fight Beterbiev 3
    Too much money not too.

    I know you're a Canelo fan, that's some hard projecting though.

    1 KO in his last 12 fights says otherwise.
