    stop acting like Canelo was a grown man.
    What weight classes did Kovalev compete at in as a pro? Did he win titles at 154, 160, 168, and 175? I don't understand all the hate for Canelo, and I'm not even Mexican! He's not a natural LHW! Why are we surprised he lost at 175? His career has been great, and he's going to HOF! Deal with it!

      You took what I said, completely ignored it and asked the same ******ed question you’ve kept asking.

      and nobody cares if you’re Mexican or not. You’re still a ****ing groupie

        Thanks for the info, but stop hating! Canelo is not a LHW!

          I think Arum just wants in house cash. When is Bivol's contract up? Bob's just waiting around like a snake to sign him

              It's not his first loss, and won't be his last! He's had a great run, from 154 to 168! If I were him, i'd accept Bivol's offer to fight him @ 168!

              Bivol Open To Rematch With Canelo At 168 For Undisputed Championship In Rematch
              05/08/2022 Jeff Sorby

              Dmitry Bivol says he'd be open to the idea of fighting Canelo Alvarez at 168 for his undisputed super middleweight championship in their rematch in September.

                I'm sorry, maybe I missed the answer? What weight classes did Kovalev compete in as a pro?

                  He didn't look spectacular against old Kovalev at 175 lbs either, despite knocking him out.

                  There's nothing wrong with saying he's too small for the weight class. As he would be at cruiserweight. Doesn't make one a groupie for pointing it out.

                  The fact that he's crazy enough to want to try should be a plus in his favor not a negative.

                    did you even read that article? That’s not an offer. Lmaooo. Bottom line, you can’t pick and choose when size is suddenly a factor in a canelo fight. It wasn’t an issue when he faced guys similar size as bivol or even bigger but when he loses you want to say that’s the reason he lost. Bivol didn’t impose his size on canelo as that’s not his style, and what you’ve also acknowledged unintentionally is that canelo decided to unify at 168 because it was an easier division with lesser fighters, just like his Kovalev title grab. Because they all had similar size advantages over canelo.

                      Focus on Ramirez, it's quite a tough fight. Zurdo is a huge guy.
