A couple takeaways from #WilderFury 1. Fury is the best heavyweight boxer in the division. 2. Wilder has the eraser and it's the most devastating we have seen in recent years. 3. Anthony Joshua doesn't want either one of them. #boxing

Stylistically speaking, Bivol is going to be a challenging fight for Canelo. It's simply ludicrous to say Canelo is taking the easy route when all these other fighters aren't even active. Everyone wants the lottery ticket, then throws a fit when Canelo goes the other way. #boxing

I like Canelo he's a great fighter but Bivol is not the best champion in his weight class. Secondly GGG (40) old ass will be moving up in weight for the trilogy. Then he might fight John Ryder in December. I think it's safe to say Canelo picked the easy route. #Boxing
