Comments Thread For: Canelo: I'm Open To Fighting Golovkin After Unifying, But It Would Be At 168 Pounds

[chepboxingking]

Kovalev was more dangerous than Beterbiev and bivol? The 36 year old Kovalev who had been stopped twice in back to back years , was nearly stopped by an inexperienced Yarde, fighting for the second time in 10 weeks was more dangerous? SMH. Canelo fans have no shame when it comes to assessing him. Be honest, if Kovalev was the same Kovalev who nearly murdered pascal in the ring, do you think canelo would’ve dared to take that fight? No chance. He saw a weakened Kovalev and that’s why he picked him.

More dangerous and more deserving aren't always the same. You can argue both Artur and Bisvol were more dangerous fights for Canelo, and at the end of the day, most would probably agree with you, but no one will ever, EVER agree they were more deserving than Kovalev. You can't always have it both ways.

[rrayvez]

You kiddos cant have it both ways. You say Ward beat on Kovas nuts so it wasnt a real KO but then you turn around and dismiss Canelos win bc it was a KO. Which is it ?



But he wasnt KO by Yarde ? Floyd almost lost to Maidana? But he didnt. So whats your point ?



At the time people were praising Kova for his decision and saying Canelo might get more than he asked for because old Kova would take a shorter camp since he was already in fighting shape which is better for old bodies...then history rewrites itself to...Canelo handicapped Kova.

"okay"



So ring rust only applies to everyone else but not to Canelo.

"okay"



That's no different from Floyd fighting Canelo when Canelo was 22 or when Pac was 36. It was good timing and management. There's a reason GGG, Charlo, and no other MW even considered moving up to LHW to fight Kova. Too dangerous.

But sure you can go back and say it was clear as day XD XD XD

"okay"

look goofball, your entire argument is based on making assumptions about what my perception would be. 1. I never diminished wards stoppage over Kovalev. Unlike Canelo, Ward sought out a prime and dangerous Kovalev.
2. My point about the Yarde fight was to show that he was in a rough scrap just 10 weeks before fighting Kovalev. Hardly any time to recover. Your point about mayweather and maidana is completely irrelevant. 3. While people may have praised Kovalev’s willingness to get back in the ring so quickly , you won’t find anyone with half a brain who thought it was a good idea or thought he’d be at 100%. 4. It’s significantly different from what Floyd did with Canelo and pac because in the case of Canelo, in no sport is a 23 year old at a disadvantage against a 36 year old. It was actually pathetic that the fight was so one sided considering the age advantage Canelo had. With pac, Floyd was older so not the same situation as canelo having a 7 year age advantage on Kovalev. Nice try , matter of fact, no it wasn’t. That was a pathetic attempt to make a point that you clearly failed miserably at.

Actually in almost EVERY sport being that young is too young.. Experience matters otherwise EVERY sports franchise would have nothing but 23 year olds...you dumb sh it

oh really, who was better 23 year old Roy Jones or 36 year old Roy Jones? How about Tyson at 23 vs 36? How about Sugar Ray Leonard at 23 vs 36? How about Chavez at 23 vs 36? What about Ali at 23 vs 36? This list can go on infinitely. I’ve read plenty of dumb shet on this site but you trying to pretend that being 36 in boxing is an advantage over being 23 might be the dumbest. You must be one of those borderline ret@rds.

[Real King Kong]

lets ignore he fought him twice already...

He delayed those fights too. The second was cuz he tested positive for a banned substance, so it wasn’t really intentional I suppose.

To be fair, I believe mr. #1PaperChamp was probably talking about current fighters.

Sports science has developed quite a bit and a man like Ali was completely washed at the same age as Klitschko was still dominating the division.

What happened to Roy I suspect had to do with jumping up and down in weight and then that infamous loss to Tarver, he was never the same since.

Anyhow, if you manage to not take much damage and stay in shape, avoid drugs/alcohol like many of the greats haev such as Floyd Mayweather and Klitschko, you are probably better at 36 than you were at 26.

so which fighters can you think of were better at 36 than they were in their early to mid 20’s? Floyd isn’t one of them because he was definitely much better in his 20s and even he will tell you that. Sure modern science helps to perhaps prolong your career but do you really think science has evolved to the point that you’d perform better when you’re pushing 40 than when you’re in your 20s? No way. Do you think canelo is going to be better 6 years from now than he has been for the past few years? Not very likely. And this goes for any athlete. Look at Lebron James right now in his mid 30’s, riddled with injuries and all of his contemporaries around the same age are retired and showed significant decline in their mid 30s.

Hater you do know how old Biterbiev is?? 36 with 16 PRI fights.

And Bivol only has 18 fights! Plus was saved by the bell vs. SMITH.

So your EXCUSES you've already got printed out and ready to copy and PASTE!

This dude is a fkn MORON HATER!

what do beterbiev and bivol have to do with a debate as to whether or not you’re better at 36 than you are in your 20’s? Makes some Fkn sense before you hop into a debate with meaningless angry posts. Now go brush your teeth and wish your mother a happy Mother’s Day, and while you’re at it, apologize to her for undoubtedly being a disappointment of a son with 0 intelligence.
