Bivol wants to face Canelo at 168 after Smith Jr. Yes....... and I want $1 million. Neither is going to happen. It's not going to happen because like the article says....
"What Bivol doesn’t quite understand is Canelo is likely only holding onto his WBA ‘regular’ super middleweight title as a status symbol, but not keeping it to actually defend it against talented guys like David Benavidez, Callum Smith or Bivol."
The article goes on to say that.....
"It’s believed by a lot of boxing fans that if/when Canelo does defend his WBA World 168 lb belt, it’ll be against a popular – but flawed – fighter like Chris Eubank Jr."
The author clearly knows what he's talking about, and nails it perfectly. A token belt, won against the most suspect of divisional world champions, and now to sit in the vault until another "Fielding" can be found.
