Yes, Canelo and Hearn doesn't have much choice but to agree with Bivol's decision as he already earned the right to demand in case a rematch will happen even if the fight will be contested at 168 pounds. But before that, we know Canelo's camp are still observing what will happen on Bivol's upcoming match as that will determine if they will activate the rematch or not. We will know about it more soon, just like what you've said.
Agree to that, Canelo's camp might change direction once Bivol got upset with Ramirez. As far as I remember, he said that he's not willing to fight to any of his countrymen, but the chance of seeing a rematch is possible. Pride and money I guess Alvarez knew that if the rematch takes place, his fans will surely support him and it will generate a decent amount of money.
Win or lose both fighters will be secured by huge amount, but like what we mostly said, Bivol will be wiser now.
He's the belt holder if, in case he also beats Ramirez, money should be flowing for him this time.
Most of us are expecting Bivol to beat Ramirez. So what if Bivol stops Ramirez? Do you guys think that Canelo is brave enough to activate the rematch clause? Or maybe Canelo will ask Bivol to rematch him at 168 which is the more comfortable weight for Canelo?
After Ramirez, there's only the Beterbiev-Bivol undisputed fight that is supposed to happen at 175. Other than Beterbiev which is difficult to negotiate due to its different promoter and network, pretty sure small Bivol would be willing to drop to 168 for more money and the chance to become undisputed if this is the weight Canelo wants for the rematch.
I'm not that sure if Bivol can really dominate Ramirez because the latter is not an easy foe, in my opinion. But if ever Bivol stops Ramirez, Canelo might activate the rematch but I'm not sure if there will be a difference and I don't seriously think that he'd be willing to host Bivol in his comfortable division knowing that his chances is not that much, he'll be stripped of his title and belts if Bivol will defeat him in 168 pounds. It's still much better for Canelo to contest the fight at 175 pounds as there is nothing to lose in his side anymore, it won't be his first time too if he'll get defeated.
Second scenario is that Canelo will have to wait first until Bivol and Beterbiev will have the undisputed fight as Bivol is not prioritizing Canelo. But it got me thinking, what if Bivol will get the undisputed crown? Will Canelo chase him still? A Bivol-Beterbiev fight is not that too impossible as Bob Arum already said that he'll be willing to give Beterbiev his chance to unify the belts after his title defense against Yarde this January 2023, but with a condition, the fight will be hosted by ESPN and not by Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing.
For everything that has been said, in context it can be said that the one with the least chance despite his recent triumph is Canelo, I think the worst mistake is that Canelo has let the RUSSIAN win, now the Russian has had more commitments what he wants to achieve, more titles, and fights that can really elevate him, clearly Canelo at this moment is not in the best position, however he advocates that his fight be prioritized and that some results be given that can facilitate the path to rematch, but it is good as they have said, the priority right now is not the rematch against Canelo, it is the growth of the Russian to higher standards, for now I think that the best thing Canelo can do is prepare, if the fight with Bivol does not take place, he has to win against all the boxers that come to him.

Dmitry Bivol vs. Gilberto Ramirez – fast approaching

https://twitter.com/MatchroomBoxing/status/1578713064102207488“It’s a very complicated fight with Ramirez being a southpaw. He’s long, he’s rangy, and he’s going to want to come and box Bivol,” said Alexis Rocha to K.O. Artist Sports.
“Bivol is a boxer as well. If Ramirez comes to change up his style, I think Bivol is going to want to box him and counter-punch him, so it’s going to be an interesting fight to see.
“I’d give the edge to Ramirez in that. The longer fighter, not the fresher fighter, but the longer and more skilled fighter, I would say,” said Alexis.

https://www.boxingnews24.com/2022/10/dmitry-bivol-vs-gilberto-ramirez-fast-approaching/This really itches and spreads, things are getting very interesting, this fight is getting into one of the most interesting and that little by little the bettors are putting more pressure on it, currently I would not know who to go for, I still have many doubts.
Yes, so true! Defeating the one and only Canelo Alvarez definitely lifts up a boxer's career, and in this case it's Bivol, it gave the latter more opportunities and hype from being a "not-so-known" kind of boxer to a famous one. Canelo may talk all he want and I understand his frustrations but he got to understand that, like what have you said, giving a win to Bivol means he can't be the priority anymore as Bivol will look for more accomplisment.
I understand you mate, this is an interesting fight to see and it is really hard to choose whom we put our bet as both of them is outstanding in their own unique skills.
Yes, it's that Canelo is very good, he has a lot to offer and Bivol is a boxer who undoubtedly makes a difference, he also has the luxury of having to choose well who he wants to fight, I also think that Bivol has reached a level of maturity that is capable of saying no to a rematch, which, for any boxer is difficult, it is leaving apart from earning good money, just for wanting to build a much higher reputation, this is something that I admire, for me this boxer is very intelligent too, it could be said that he is one of those who want to go very far to be able to pass the category with all the achievements he can reap.
The big factor is Bivol having beaten Canelo and Canelo happens to be the number one pound for pound at the time he fought Bivol, you are the man if you beat the man, Zurdo has proved anything yet. and yet he is telling that Bivol is not his biggest challenge I wonder who is, he underestimates Bivol or just tries to sell the fight but from all angles, Bivol has all the edge leading to this fight.
Well, I have seen Bivol's style very well, it seems to me that he is a boxer who knows and is very clear about what he wants, and I don't think he is going to lose, Biivol has shown us that he does what he sets out to do and fulfills it, this is something I see in Bivol, on the other hand, I think Zurdo is a very good boxer who has great technique, if we put both on a scale, who has more fame is Bivol, and who can have better technique is him Of course, we don't know how Lefty can be preparing, and I don't like to think that he buys himself with fights against others, in the case of Canelo many things have happened, each event and each person is a very different event in a fight.
Dmitry Bivol shuts down Canelo Alvarez rematch talk as he prepares to face Gilberto Ramirez Dmitry Bivol is not thinking about Canelo Alvarez as he prepares to defend his world title against Gilberto Ramirez next month.
Earlier this year, Canelo made another leap to 175lbs, but his bold attempt at adding another impressive win to his incredible ledger was thwarted by Bivol who outpointed the Mexican.
On November 5, live on DAZN, Bivol looks to build on his impressive year as he tackles the threat of Ramirez, a fighter who has been calling for this opportunity for a long time.
