If Beterbiev could unify against Bivol the winner would attract a unification fight with Kov/Canelo. I know timing and promoters will not let it happen but it is a good long term dream. Beterbiev is the best in the division.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
I'd LOVE for that destruction to happen...... but let me add some perspective.
Kovalev was knocked out to the body (or repeated low blows) by that fearsome puncher, Andre Ward (16 knockouts in 32 career wins). Ginger is fairly adept at going to the body. He also has the good beard nobody can argue about.
BEFORE Kovalev's Achilles heel was exposed, there was 0.0000000000000000001 percent chance that Ginger would've ever even spoken his name, much less seek a fight with him.
So yes. A Krusher destruction of Canelo would make me slightly happy (). However, I'm not holding my breath, since once the computer has spit out an opponent for Canelo, that means all possible risks have been evaluated at the nano-microscopic level.
Arum was saying Fanlong Meng is next for Artur, but I would love to see the Bivol unification after that.

Gvozdyk released from hospital after TKO loss to Beterbiev
Oleksandr Gvozdyk, the former world light-heavyweight champion who lost to Artur Beterbiev by TKO on Friday, was released from hospital on Sunday after staying two nights as a precaution.
Gvozdyk, 32, was stopped in the 10th round of an action-packed 175-pound unification bouton Friday at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.
Referee Gary Rosato waved off the fight after two minutes and 49 seconds of the 10th after Beterbiev (15-0, 15 KOs) dropped an exhausted Gvozdyk (17-1, 14 KOs) three times.
According to ESPN, Gvozdyk walked alongside trainer Teddy Atlas to an ambulance to make the short trip to the hospital to be checked out as a precaution.
Atlas confirmed he stayed with Gvozdyk a second night to be safe before the 32-year-old was released with a minor concussion.
"All is clear," Atlas told ESPN. "No [brain] bleed or anything. Thank God, just a minor concussion from the hits to the back of the head they said, but we needed to be sure."
Gvozdyk, a Ukrainian who is based in California, won his WBC title in December 2018 - stopping Adonis Stevenson in a bout that saw the long-reigning champion put in an induced coma and treated for a traumatic brain injury - and made one successful defence before being stopped by the undefeated Beterbiev on Friday.
A Russian based in Montreal, Beterbiev, 34, defended his IBF title for the third time since winning it in November 2017.

Great performance by Beterbiev. He is much more skilled than I thought. Beterbiev is currently the man to beat in this category
