I feel like Canelo is still in his prime and hasn’t declined. I think the Kov win made people overestimate him (Kov was a light heavy and was really good at one point but was nowhere near his best) and the Bivol fight has people underestimating him. Bivol is a solid fighter, a true 175 pounder, and is in his prime- take away the Kov fight and Canelo is the underdog going in (as he should have been).
Canelo is a warrior and chases greatness, you have to love that, it he has had some serious luck to not have more losses on his record. Does anyone really think that if Ward, Froch, Calzaghe…etc., were still around that Canelo would be undisputed?!?
GGG has gone even up with Canelo twice now (I feel he won the first and tied the rematch) so the big question is whether GGG has slipped or not. Canelo didn’t take a horrific beating against Bivol, he was just thoroughly outboxed by a larger/ longer man with great skills and discipline. Canelo is young and has a few good years left thanks to his staying in shape year round and living clean.
