“It’s boxing but I feel nobody can beat me right now.” At the peak of his powers, Canelo Álvarez feels ready for his light heavyweight bout with Dmitry Bivol, writes SIChrisMannix
“He’s a good fighter,” Álvarez told SI. “Difficult fighter, too. He’s a fighter who fights at distance, [maintains] good distance. He moves [well], he’s fast for the division, he’s strong. He’s a solid champion at 175.”Bivol’s critics will say he has never fought anyone close to Álvarez’s level. And they are right. Unfortunately, that’s the way it goes with Álvarez. When fighters think they havechance of facing him—and picking up the payday that comes with it—they play it safe.
Bivol’s advantage could be the weight. Álvarez looked sharp in his first foray at 175 pounds, stopping Kovalev in the 11round in 2019. But Kovalev was long faded, and facing Álvarez just 2 ½ months following a physical fight with Anthony Yarde. Bivol, 31, is an in-his-prime career-long light heavyweight who has shown a granite chin and, at least early in his career, knockout power.
