Two of the best fighters in boxing are fighting each other. Stop crying.
But IS Bivol one of the best fighters in the world at 168? If you claim yes, have fun proving it.

Ill take Bivols opinion over yoursYou want me prove draining yourself and moving down a division does not have negative effects on a fighter? That should be obvious, and once that happens there will always be a question mark over the fights validity, which supports my point that its pointless. If Canelo wins he gets no title and he beat a drained fighter so he gains nothing to anyone with a brain.
Oh, I forgot the narrative was Bivol to 168! Lol, kinda blows some of my original post. Still, I dont think that's a rough cut for a guy like Bivol. I still like the fight that way.Damn, people were begging Mayweather to be like Canelo is now, but when he talks big fights hes a cherry picker too. Bivol is surely a more interesting fight than Plant. Fucking Plant should try and sell to us he's anyone at all if hes so demanding at the table. Holding a trinket, who has he beat? Bivol has better looking scalps on his resume than Plant imo, and some think Bivol beats Beterbiev. I'm not sure about that, but some believe he KOs beter so there you go. I could care less about the SmWs left to beat. LHW! LHW!
i mean...Chad Dawson tried and it was one of the biggest disasters we have ever seen.Ill take Bivols opinion over yours

If that were the only fighter to ever go down for a fight it would be a strong point.i mean...Chad Dawson tried and it was one of the biggest disasters we have ever seen.
So, I think it's fair to be skeptical
hmmm what is the big example of a fighter going down in weight and it being a big success?If that were the only fighter to ever go down for a fight it would be a strong point.
The point still remains that Bivol has been asking for this for a long time. Hes not having his arm twisted in negotiations here.
Mundine? Hearns? Id have to give it some thought. The money is usually in higher classes not lower ones so theres certainly not a plethora to pull from.hmmm what is the big example of a fighter going down in weight and it being a big success?
It's interesting because we have the era of Pac and Floyd where they went up and down but they were already pretty undersized for the weights they were at
In terms of a guy who was established at his optimal weight going down......
Not sure actually?
Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Lalonde too the initial SMW title bout, more competitive than Ward/Dawson but the same result. Some twisted part of me likes seeing LHWs move down to the SMW limit and get blasted.i mean...Chad Dawson tried and it was one of the biggest disasters we have ever seen.
So, I think it's fair to be skeptical
Bivol ? When he had fought with weight in weight 168 lbs?Then how can you possibly say that Plant has a better chance than Bivol?
Plant is 168 lbs division boxer.You seriously think that somehow Plant can stop Canelo whereas Bivol can't?
Hearn says if he can't get Plant he wants a titlist at LHW. Then he says its a catch-weight? So its not for a title, or is it? WTF is going on?
Yeah Hearns did good.Mundine? Hearns? Id have to give it some thought. The money is usually in higher classes not lower ones so theres certainly not a plethora to pull from.
Didnt RJJ go down and beat Trinidad?Yeah Hearns did good.
Doing it ended Roy Jones career pretty much as well.
i suppose Donaire is a success kinda but he went up way to far for one fight i think vs walters so probably doesn’t count
hmmm
anyone else guys? who dropped down after a good campaign at a weight and was successful
Canelo if famous with his cherry picking and catchweights. Canelo weights.Hearn says if he can't get Plant he wants a titlist at LHW. Then he says its a catch-weight? So its not for a title, or is it? WTF is going on?
