your stars are but dust on my shoes
Imo Bivol will be canelos hardest fight in years, he's very underrrated defensively a great hard counter/combination puncher. If the canelo with lil to no workrate that showed up against plant shows up against bivol hes losing that fight

Agreed. The footwork alone should keep this fight interesting. While Canelo has captured a title at 175, I'm still not sold that he should be competing at that division.

dont mind choc...he thinks the 800K ppv that canelo-plant got was because of plant :russ:

meanwhile GGG has a couple of PPVs that broke a milly :pachaha:

an older GGG arguably beat prime canelo twice while plant gets bodied by him :bryan:

My nikka, you can be a GGG stan and still acknowledge that Plant definitely had something to do with those 800k ppv buys.
Remember that bout had the most buzz since a fukking GGG fight. :mjlol:

Hardcore fans appreciated the Smith and BJJ fights, but they didn't move the needle. That fukking Urban cac DLC is what did it. :umad:

DAZN will slap itself 5 years from now when they realize how much money they overpaid in a guy like Canelo who hardly ever produces classic memorable fights. They really finna give this nikka 100 mil for Bivol who is even less known to the casuals than Andrade and a inactive past it GGG. :hhh:

In a perfect world, Canelo would fight Charlo next and GGG in Sept if he looks good in that SF2 bonus stage. Those 2 fights will bring in more casual buzz and money than any other combination. Matter of fact DAZN doesn't really even had a good combo on its own like that to offer Canelo. I'd take Charlo/Bennividaz and Beterbiev/Smith over Bivol/GGG. Would rather see Bivol face Zurdo and the winner get Canelo.

I'll settle for a Bivol fight in May tho if thats whats its gon be. Boxing gods might deliver some fukkery since Canelo will be facing his most skilled prime ACTIVE opponent in years.

Bivol won't outsell Plant or a would-be Charlo fight, that's pretty sure, the third GGG fight will still outsell all of these though, Canelo became an even bigger name since his GGG fights and everyone knows that it's his nemesis, ppl like that kind of antagonism and hype.

Bivol is a good fighter, not saying he beats Canelo but he's won a lot of his recent fights very widely and has the potential to step it up when he needs to. Technically he's a good fighter and also at the higher weight which makes it interesting.

Andrade is another fight would have liked to have seen Canelo in styles wise, Benavidez one day could work but better if he gets some big wins himself first to build it up.

Andrade is a horrible fighter:scust: He just wants a handout for doing nothing like they always do:mjpls: He couldn't sell a wing dinner :camby:El Campeon is fighting against opponents with bigger fanbases for greatness:wow:
