Comments Thread For: Roberto Duran Feels Canelo Should Correct Mistakes, Face Bivol Sooner Than Later

[Thuglife Nelo]

Duran doesn't mention something important. Canelo usually fights people taller than him, and getting inside has never been hard for him in over 60 previous fights. So it's not that he doesn't know how to get inside. It's that he doesn't know how to get inside on Bivol. Bivol is not like anyone Canelo has ever fought. He has exceptional legs, exceptional control of distance, exceptional timing, exceptional focus and calm under pressure, exceptional accuracy, exceptional conditioning. Bivol is exceptional in many ways and he doesn't allow Canelo to get inside. Canelo can go in the gym and spar with heavier guys who box him, but they won't be anything like being in front of Bivol, because he's exceptional in many areas. He's also exceptional in his ring IQ. So no matter what Canelo does, Bivol will nullify it with his IQ.

Great, so you will be impressed if Canelo wins the rematch. I want as many people to hype Bivol above the heavens. It makes the challenge that much better.

Canelo just need to figure out a combination and feint game to dent or sneak a shot through his guard. Bivol has exceptional body coverage/blockage like GGG. Derevyanchenko had to do a lot just to sneak some body shots through GGG’s guard, mainly because Devry has a style to pounce forward on the inside. Canelo will have to figure something out to sneak some meaningful shots to the body.

Remember when Hearns didn’t fight SRL, Hagler or Barkley “immediately” after being KTFO? oh wait lol

Remember the time Duran failed his tests and blamed carne asada oh wait lol

Remember the time Roy Jones and Toney failed tests. Good thing it wasn’t during the time of random anti doping cause a lot more would’ve remembered!

I do not think Canelo beats Bivol. He jumps up and down in weight way too much and he has a lot of miles on him. Bivol is fresh, has a ton of endurance and is comfortable at 175. Plus Bivol is a boxer, we all know Clenelo struggles with boxers.

If they rematch I think Bivol wins by a wider decision if he does not KO him

Duran is from Panama, not Mexico.

[_Rexy_]

Duran, Tyson, De La Hoya, Atlas all of think that Canelo can beat Bivol with the correct strategy.

Canelo haters: bUt bUt hE cAn'T bEaT bİvOl

Pretty sure they also all said Canelo would easily walk through and stop Bivol.

Duran and Atlas sharing interesting insights lately on this rematch. Atlas is worried that Canelo can and Duran is rooting for his Mexican brethren to win and make adjustments. Everyone saying Canelo can’t win which is going to make this rematch so epic!.

First comment is not fair to Hearns as it was Duran's rule not Hearn's. It is wrong to say that Duran is rooting for his Mexican brethren as Duran is from Panama not Mexico.

It was Ripped Fuel by Twinlabs which was banned in 2004 but legal in 2000 in his test, y'all musta forgot! I used to take it, never got jacked from it.

I agree that Bivol’s conditioning is superb, but I also think he’s capitalizing on a gift that Alvarez simply doesn’t have. Bivol has iron-man level cardio “talent,” if that’s the right word. Bivol has a super-high energy style, and yet he looks as fresh after 12 rounds as he looks in the first round. There’s no amount of road work that can give a man something like that. It’s a gift -- like being able to throw a 105 mph fastball, or run a hundred meters under 10 seconds. Those are people who capitalized on a gift that others simply don’t have. This is why I can’t see Alvarez ever beating Bivol in a lengthy fight. If Alvarez has any chance at all, he’ll have to swing for an early knockout. If Canelo lets Bivol gas him out (again), he’s toast.

Bivol reminds me lot of Joe Calzaghe.

Duran identifies and acknowledges his father who is Mexican. Lol. Nothing wrong to remind fans like yourself about Duran. Duran always speaks highly of Canelo and have face timed each other occasionally. Does this bother you?
