Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez zeroed in on September fight with Sergey Kovalev

It is odd this weight jumping all of a sudden. Kept hearing how he needed to grow into 160 to face Triple G when G was still prime-ish. But now weight classes don't seem to matter and is somehow hopping around like no big deal. I don't get it.Maybe so. The most logical fights for him are GGG, Jermall or the WBO middleweight champ but maybe he can't make 160 comfortably now. I doubt he is the best fighter in the world at 168 or 175 but then I think he is only the 2nd best middleweight in the world.

If he ever fights Kovalev it will be in Vegas at a catchweight below 175 and a morning weigh in to keep Kovalev from gaining too much weight. Count on it. Yeah, it’s likely that’ll be the case & I’m sadly expecting it to be with some bs stipulations added. I wouldn’t fault Kovalev for taking the fight though since it’ll probably be his biggest payday.

boy got balls the size of Mexico if he takes this fight

I’d actually rather see this fight happen first over Canelo vs. GGG 3 as long as there’s no lame stipulations added that highly benefit Canelo.If he ever fights Kovalev it will be in Vegas at a catchweight below 175 and a morning weigh in to keep Kovalev from gaining too much weight. Count on it.

This is suicidal

Kovalev is a much tougher fight than Golovkin. Canelo doing what Golovkin fans wished Golovkin would have.Canelo isn't doing a damn thing and you are singing his praises and trashing GGG as usual. If GGG fought Kovalev he would fight him at the full 175 in a nuutral location. Canelo will only fight Kovalev in Vegas where Kovalev needs a KO to win and won't fight Kovalev without a draining catchweight. GGG is a damn hard fight for Canelo and he knows it and that's why he won't take it. GGG and Kovalev sparred once and Kovalev said GGG got the best of him that time. If Canelo fights Kovalev at 175 with no morning weigh in or catchweight that would be impressive but that will never happen. He had a morning weigh in for both Jacobs and Fielding and he sure as hell will have a catchweight and morning weigh in for Kovalev. I hope Kovalev says no to that. If Canelo wants to be a light heavyweight champ then do it the brave way with no catchweight and no morning weigh in. He won't do that.

Canelo have been mentioning Kovalev, yet I have not seen any response from Sergey. He probably thinks he's not serious, or will only happen sometime in the future.

Catch weight or rehydration clause or both if this fight happens. Good fight, but Kovalev's a bit old. I wonder if Canelo's having problems making 160 with all this 168 and 175 talk.

If they don't drain Kovalev to death, I'd love to see that fight. Although Kovalev is no longer the killer he used to be, it would be a big claim for Nelo

Wonder what clauses they're drawing up for this one My Mexican sources say the fight will be on for September at 172 CW

Wonder what clauses they're drawing up for this one

Not sure how I feel about this fight... On one hand it's a huge leap and I hope it's at full 175 On the other canelo record is full of past prime good fighters. Mosley cotto ggg

Canelito be tripping with this 175 but I'll be rooting for him for sure.

Awesome fight if it happens.
