Therefore, with these replies, the fans have made it clear what they think about Canelo Alvarez. Clearly, the common opinion is that Alvarez did not want to make that fight after how the first one went. Moreover, since he publicly announced that it would be at 168 lbs. if he lost, he would lose all his belts.

What do you make of these comments from Canelo Alvarez? Do you think he tried his best to make the Dmitry Bivol rematch happen?
