Another fight that wont give Canelo anything except money and a chance to get injured by an opponent from higher weight division.
If Canelo is up to money that much, he should challenge one of Paul brothers. That will be an easy fight and easy money.

How many more year Canelo is planning to be in business? I think it is time for him to retire (not because of age, but because there are no more strong opponents left) or move to other division.

canelo has to go up. this is yet not a confirmed date, they'd have to move the date further so he'd get used to his weight and not put his title to a disadvantage. he can't take the risk all because he is in his prime.

this could be a good fight, fun to watch big guys fight because of possible outcome.

Date: September 18, 2021 (tentative)
Venue: TBA

As the planned unification fight with Caleb Plant fails to materialize, Eddie Hearns wants Canelo to fight Bivol this 18th of September for the latter's Light Heavyweight title. There are rumors that this could be on a catchweight between 168 and 175 lbs. Both fighters will be moving on their weights for the fight so I think Canelo would be having trouble on this fight, what do you think guys?

So this fight is tentative but I hope it will be officially announced Dmitry Bivol is undefeated with a good powerful straight punch, but like the majority of Russian boxers his body is stiff, something that will be to his disadvantage as Canelo is very good at finding an angle, I don't think this is a serious threat to Canelo's supremacy, he is powerful but his lack of lateral movements is something that will be exploited by Canelo.

Canelo Alvarez is only in his prime now, it's not good to doubt him as he is very strong and he can defeat anyone who will be in front of him. These boxers have faced him and will face him and lack of experience so they can't beat a more experienced and stronger fighter.

Canelo should pick a fighter that has almost beat him, and I think in any of his fights, triple G is always inserted in the discussion.

That was a draw, maybe you call that almost but Canelo won in the rematch, so that fight is over.

Gennadiy Golovkin has not fought this year yet, but if he will be given a chance for a Trilogy, then I guess it will be interesting and we will see the fans from both sides supporting their favorite fighter.

Back to the topic, I guess this is just one of the fighters that he will dominate.

I like the fight but I don't like they to be in a catchweight, Canelo has fought once in LHW already defeating Kovalev. Although they have admitted that he won't be fighting at LHW and obviously goes down to 168 as his home weight. However, Bivol is the champion in LHW, so for Canelo to be really called LHW champion he needs to go back up again to 175 lbs so that there will be no excuses or arguments if he beats Bivol.
Yes, Canelo already defeats Kovalev at 175, therefore he can beat LHW champs no problem. But Canelo seems to realize that his best weight isn't 175. Imagine if Bivol agrees to fight at near 168, I think his chance is extremely slim. I've read Bivol's record and found it unimpressive. Only 18 wins with boxers who their name I've never heard. Bivol's hope only if Canelo agrees to fight at 175, betting that he won't be in his optimum condition to fight.

Wow, I'm amazed, another fight for Canelo Alvarez, this is his 3rd fight in a year according to his record.
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/348759

I think he can have another fight if he will win easily again.
his last two fights this year were won by RTD.

His opponent is undefeated but lack of experience, so I'm still with Canelo Alvarez to win.

Yeah, just throw everything at Canelo's way because he is still in his prime and on a destruction path whether MW or LHW. Bivol is good, legitimate LHW and power in both hands. But I do think that Alvarez is going to be too smart for him. Canelo has a good chin and has a good defense, so I don't know how Bivol is going to touch Alvarez. So regardless of catchweight, Canelo by either TKO or UD.
