    Default Bivol wants Canelo after Smith Jr.

    https://www.boxingnews24.com/2019/03...mith-jr-fight/


    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.

    Canelo would in no way take that fight. I’m not sure how well Bivol would fight cutting down though. If he were anything like he is at his current weight though, Canelo would get beat badly.

    Bivol says he could make 168 no problem... but then most fighters say that, only to have some of them encounter serious difficulties. Can't blame him for wanting someone like Canelo, though. A big name... and someone Bivol would toy with enroute to a comprehensive destruction. It'll never happen though.

    Will he put his career on hold waiting for him is the important question. Would be sad to see another career wasted waiting on Canelo.

    I don't think he'll make the same mistake as GGG. He's got his own stellar career to develop, and he doesn't need a Canelo who would never face him anyway. Too bad. A highlight reel KO of Canelo would definitely be a distinct possibility.

    Everything aside, if Bivol can make the weight, it’s a good fight.

    Will Canelo try and do a "Leonard" and pretend he wins a title at light heavyweight should he beat Bivol?

    Yeh I can't see Canelo considering that one on his list priorities but Bivol dipped his toe in the Dazn/Hearn pool so they'll try to build something. But after Jacobs should all go well no doubt he'll be looking for something not so tough afterwards and round out the year most likely. They mentioned it out of the blue on Saturdays card two times...Bivol v GGG at 168. Canelo fights Bivol like he did in rematch I can see his little freckles getting permanently rearranged.

    The only way this happens is if Canelo makes Bivol shrink down to MW.

    Imagine. Bivol shrinks down to MW.... comes in looking weak and gaunt.... and Canelo outweighs him at fight night. Not a far-fetched scenario.

    Recommend some Bivol fights to watch? Haven't seen much boxing lately to even know what he looks like.---edit---nevermind,...I'm sure youtube got a best of Bivol somewhere...
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    Slim Bivol was punch perfect to win the title.

    I had high hopes for him.
