Boxing fans don't even care about Canelo vs Kovalev, annoyed with Canelo avoiding GGG

�� Which of these fights taking place at the back end of this year are you most looking forward to? #LazySundayBoxingPoll— Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) September 8, 2019 Boxing fans are way more excited about Taylor vs Prograis, who are both relatively unknown compared to Canelo or Kovalev. They dont see the Kovalev fight as an exciting fight since Kovalev looked extremely vulnerable vs a nobody like Yarde, who almost knocked him out, adding that is the recent knockout loss to Eleider Alvarez who is no big puncher. Kovalev is in the last stage of his career and never held a healthy livestyle drinking and partying alot. Boxing fans wanted to see the trilogy fight between GGG and Canelo since most boxing fans were extremely dissatisfied with the scoring of the first 2 bouts, where the majority of both boxing fans and experts had GGG winning the first fight convincingly while the Kazakh edged out the second meeting in a very close fight, or at worst could have been scored a draw. DAZN wanted the trilogy, boxing fans and experts wanted a decisive fight between GGG and Canelo, but Canelo who knows that GGG is still his toughest opponent and he could easily lose the rubbermatch, chose to avoid GGG once again, thinking that Kovalev, who looked extremely vulnerable in his last couple fights, is the easier fight, betting odds for the matchup will most probably reflect that. - -When did G ever step up to Kov? Ask Nancy.

So what? The younger bigger fighter hadn't been fighting. Spence and Crawford are active. Pacquiao knocking off one of them would be impressive. Keith Thurman has one foot out of boxing. And Pac beat him narrowly Let's see how the Kovalev fight goes. Presently he's an 8-1 underdog.

The man is 40 years old fighting a much younger by 10 years, a stronger and bigger fighter. He was way past his prime. Canelo in his prime is fighting a bigger man who is older by 9 years clearly past prime who lost by KO twice in his last six fights and was rocked badly in his last fight. So what?

Didn’t realize 8k randos on Twitter represents all boxing fans. Why isn’t GGG’s fight one of the options? Canelo/Kov isn’t even official and still would get more votes than BBB side.

And yet teh Canelo fight will be the only one that does over 50k live viewers.

Thurman fought 3 times in a total of 3 years. That's the definition of inactive. What's so special about pacquiao winning a close decision over him? 12 months ago, we thought Thurman would never fight again. Now pacquiao beating him is an amazing feat?

What a terrible thread. The entire boxing world, entire world will tune in to Canelo vs Kovalev. Joshua-Ruiz wasn’t that big outside of the boxing fan base here stateside, I expect the same especially with the Saudi Arabia location. Thus in the US were boxing matters more anyways, Vegas will be the place to be like all Mega fights.

lol that poll doesnt corralate to your thread lmfao. OF COURSE everyone wants to see Ruiz vs AJ over Canelo vs Kovalev hell that poll will look the same if Canelo vs Canelo 3 was made too lmfaol If canelo vs canelo ever happened I think it would surpass Ruiz vs AJ 2 bro.

There is no way this can top what Pacquiao accomplished by beating Thurman. Thurman fought 3 times in a total of 3 years. That's the definition of inactive.

I'm was annoyed with Canelo - there are plenty of MW's to fight. I could get behind a fight with Kovalev though as I'm a fan of his...just hoping that I don't have to feel sick about it. I want to see what Kovalev can do against Canelo but not 10 weeks after a tough fight at a catchweight. Canelo could do some crazy **** here if most feel the fight is legit

Let's see, he went up to middleweight and beat the #1 ranked GGG and then unified against a top 3 middleweight in Jacobs. It doesn't take a genius to see why fights against Charlo or Murata are not attractive to him. He's jumping to 175 to fight a top 3 champion! He will instantly become fighter of the decade if he wins this fight. Period. There is no way this can top what Pacquiao accomplished by beating Thurman.

Those numbers will inch closer as the fights near.

Real boxing fans don't give a damn about Golovkin vs Derevychencko. The poll clearly shows that since its not even listed. Funny how you left that part out. Golovkin could have fought Andrade or Charlo for a 160 title. They are both undefeated unlike Derevy, who lost to a guy GGG already beat in Jacobs. GGG and all his fanboys need to stop worrying about Canelo. And fight somebody credible. Kovalev is at the end but he has only lost to the p4p king in ward and he avenged his lost to Alvarez immediately. But haters gon hate

Of all the champs at 175, why did Canelo pick Kovalev instead of Bivol, Gvozdyk or Beterbiev? Because he still has all his faculties intact Lmao and cause Kov is the biggest name at 175. The other 3 champs arent known by casuals

Kovalev is the biggest name at 175, by far. There's a reason why he was the other option DAZN approved for September apart from GGG. It's going to be a huge fight. For casuals fighting Bivol or Berbetiev is no different than fighting Fielding. A campaign has been started by known Canelo haters trying to diminish Kovalev as a fighter to discredit a possible win by Canelo. Canelo lives in their heads rent-free, it's sad really. Kovalev has no fan base and neither do the other champs at 175, just look at Kovalev's ppvs with Ward, they both bombed. Kovalev is shot, old and has been KO'ed twice, there's nothing interesting about this fight.

What makes no sense is Canelo fighting a LHW when he has other champs in his own weight class to fight - Charlo, Andrade, hell even Murata.

If Kovalev is shot, what’s the point of him unifying with other LHWs? You Canelo haters make no sense at all. What makes no sense is Canelo fighting a LHW when he has other champs in his own weight class to fight - Charlo, Andrade, hell even Murata.

It's a stupid fight that makes no sense plus Kovalev is shot. If they wanted a spectacle, they should of done Canelo vs Pacquiao, that'll do big numbers.
