"I saw this picture and that's what I say about this!
If “Redhead” is really serious, he intends to rise in my weight and fight with me, which will definitely go down in the history of world boxing, but I don’t intend to rival him, so as not to look like a prostitute to earn more what can I do without him! ☝ As we say: "I took the ball, so kick!" I am always open and ready to accept any fight
#krasher #KRUSHER # Kovalev #canelokovalev #boxing"
So he basically said he won't be used like a prostitute and wait around for Canelo like GGG did. He welcomes the fight but won't be taking advantage of, 'rise in my weight' hopefully indicates a catch-weight won't happen

What he said it that he won't be fighting at a catch weight so that means this fight won't happen. If Canelo does it at 175, he's going to get stretchered. Mark my words.
So you don't want to see canelo face somebody good at 175 because he hasn't fought anybody good at 168. Even thought canelo is relatively undefeated and is the current golden goose of boxing..him moving up.to 175 to face a.quality hard pinching opponent doesn't interest you. Why. Very interesting prospect imo..rather than boring ggg 3 or Callum.smith
Because Kovalev is way bigger than Canelo. If Canelo loses, he just bit 9ff more than he could chew, if Kovalev wins, he gets no credit because he's 2 weight classes bigger.
Same as Mikey-Spence.. mikey had nothing to lose yet he still came out looking terrible because he looked completely outclassed as well as being the smaller guy.
These guys should stick to fighting guys in their own weight class.
Kovalev has numerous guys he can unify with in house at top rank and ESPN and Canelo has GGG, Andrade, Charlo and others he can fight at 160. We don't need circus shows, we need good fights between guys the same size
Yep, that's the right way. The LHW divison is busy and there's fights to be made. Kovalev can keep going about his business and if Canelo wants to fight him he can move up and fight him.
Catchweights etc, I don't think will be applicable in this one.
Kovalev including the pic of Smith in his post is interesting.
I guess he's saying the same to him too.
i like this fight because history and all, but i'm starting to think that canelo might be trolling ggg here. kovalev and ggg are close friends so canelo might be like 'no i won't give you this huge payday again, but i will give it to your friend just because i can'.
I think you're right :lol1:
This fight doesn't interest me at all. Why do we wanna see Canelo at 175? He has never fought anyone good at even 168.
If Kovalev would have to drop in weight, it's even more unappealing

... ol' Kova always said the truth... a real stand up guy (even when drunk)... :)
Let's hope Kovalev is telling the truth about the assault charge he will be defending in court soon. If not, his boxing career will be over.
I’ll just drop this here for canelos rich Irish redhead heritage
“Those educated in Mexican history look at the red hair, see the freckles and think of the Army unit, a 19th-century battalion that was predominantly Irish. they were known as Los Son Patricos, or Those of St. Patrick. They fought for Mexico in the Mexican-American War from 1844 through 1848.
Many, between 50 and 85, were executed as traitors. Their Mexican comrades also called them Los Colorados for their sunburned faces, freckles, and red hair. The guess is that Alvarez ancestor marched in their ranks.
"There might have been an Irish grandfather somewhere there in my past," said Alvarez, whose mom, Ana Maria, is the only other redhead in a family that includes seven brothers, all boxers.
If not the hair, an Irish ancestry might be in part of the Alvarez name that is not included on billboards or on his boxing license. His full name is Santos Saul Alvararez Barragan. According to one history of the name, Barragan is the Mexican spelling of an old Irish name, Berrigen."
I didn't know anything about that. Interesting post!
Comprehension’s best friend...
Who was the older LHW, Kovalev or Bhop?
The LDBC are crying that Kovalev is “old.” Lol
With Canelo hate, you can’t make this stuff up!
... kid, dear, do you happen know anything about the "Hopkins vs Stevenson situation"???... and how B-Hop was forced to sign a unification fight in 48 hours (in order not to be stripped)?... you don't (or you pretend you don't)...
... then take a walk... :)

clenelo's punk ass just had a heart attack after the krusher's response!!!! oscar kitchen utensils up his ass de la hoya is freaking out and starting doing coke again!!! you heard kovalev fight him the right way no catch weight BS!!!! kovalev is ready!!!
You keep getting murked. Who did Kovalev beat and won titles that made him popular at 175? Could’ve sworn it was an alien past 40..
... you (some) "murked" Brits don't forget it , right?...
... to begin with: Kova went to Cardiff and mopped the floor (twice in the 3rd and once in the 4th) with "your boy" Nathan Cleverly (the then WBO belt holder)... :)
... and you can't forget it, right?... :)
(do you even remember how the ref carried Nathan Cleverly on his stool???... it was unprecedented in boxing... :) )

Good. Dont want to see Kovalev taken advantage of by looking like an emaciated corpse if he fights at a bs 171 cw.
... Kova might be drunk, but he's no dumb, tbh... :)
