Just a reminder a non-puncher at LHW knocked out arguably the most durable guy at 160 & Chavez came in at 172 meaning he was 200lbs+ on fight night.
But Zombie Chavez at 160 went the distance twice with Canelo & Martinez both considered hard punchers.
Shows you what a madman Canelo is & how strong 175 is, if Fonfara could do that imagine what actual LHW punchers would do.
DLH said in an interview on DAZN that Canelo walks around at 190. He must have nearly zombified himself getting down to 154.
He's not the small guy everyone is thinking....LHW might not be that big of a jump for him. We'll see.
I think the 190 comment is a bit silly but I would expect both Canelo and Kovalev will be within 2-3 pounds of 180. Kov a little higher, Canelo a little lower. This isn’t going to be anything like Spence/Garcia was.
I never asked a question lol I made a statement.
I see a lot of people saying Sergey is old but he's still light years beyond Fonfara especially in terms of power.
oh, ok i gotcha...I understand now
your title alone should answer the question why this happened..He is the biggest stronger guy out of all the names you lusted...

Stevenson u mean the huge puncher who was also a lhw and world champion. What's your point here what have I missed did u read the op.
Because he fought a light heavyweight who can punch instead of natural middleweights lol.
I mean what's the big puzzle here?
exactly..there is no puzzle or mind boggling riddle here
First of all, Chavez made 168 for Britsch. For a Canelo payday, would you give Chavez and Nacho Beristain benefit of doubt that they would be able to do 4 more lbs for a Canelo PPV? How is that Canelo’s fault? 4lbs from Britsch for a mega payday is unreasonable?
What do you mean illegal? The contracts can be renegotiated between Chavez and Canelo to not Jeopardize the fight. Doesn’t the state commission acknowledge an advanced anti doping agency being responsible for a fight if that’s whom were doing it? Was Oscar needing an IV for Pac illegal?
How is it Canelo’s fault that he forced a catchweight on Chavez that left Chavez unable to compete? Is that really a question?
Turns out that most every fighter has a price for which they will sell themselves. Floyd abused Canelo in a similar way. Now the abused has become an abuser. This is textbook stuff here.
And yes, prefight IVs of the type you seem to be implying, are illegal.

I mean what's the big puzzle here?
It means that if Canelo can pull this off it's an incredible feat, people are really writing off Kovalev too like he's another Rocky Fielding
fools dont get it, 175 is a whole different game, let alone vs a big puncher like kovalev...
canelo could end up koed or at least get intimidated once he feels kovas power...
This is my point exactly. Kov is gonna touch him up pretty good.
That’s a confusing post. Are you saying Canelo was embarrassed because he supposedly allowed Chavez to employ illegal measures to make weight or because he forced an unreasonable catchweight on Chavez to begin with? If it’s the latter, then that’s understandable. If it’s the former then that is some serious princess attitude.
What he is saying is Canelo didn't care that Chavez Jr was overweight because Canelo was on the gear.
Chavez Jr. has been for years very risky business going to the scales. I actually believe Chavez Jr. didn’t even make the scales for Canelo and was allowed to take something. He had suspect marks in both shoulders. It was expected to make 1mil+ PPVs so had it been cancelled would’ve been disastrous for fans and everyone. With that in mind, Chavez Jr. was more dead than Oscar vs Pac even with the IV allowance.
Canelo knew it. Felt the fight was pathetic because of this allowance to Jr. It’s the reason why Canelo didn’t even sit on his stool all rounds because he felt ashamed should he have acted.
