Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Canelo Can Face Kovalev at 175, Callum Smith, GGG

[Pigeons]

There's some angle in them mentioning Kovalev all the time. I don't know if Main Events is close to a DAZN deal or what, but even Kovalev was advertising the Canelo-Jacobs fight on DAZN last night.

I'm not impressed with a win over Kovalev at this point.

I would love to see Andre Ward come back and fight Canelo.

Show Ward a $20 million USD payday, and I bet he takes it.

I'm with you on this one. But you know they will ask ward to squeeze down to 160-165 for a catchweight and advantage.

You and I both know this wont happen. They are not ******. Ward will love to smash Canelo though.

How about Beterbeiv? Canelo has a good chin and Beterbiev hits pretty hard. Rather see this one than Kovalev!

Can barely beat middleweights lol.

And Ward could tell them to pound sand. 170lbs catchweight with no rehydration clauses. Take it or leave it.

If Canelo could pull this off, I'd finally be sold on him. Because as it stands right now, his best win is 7-5 decision over GGG in their 2nd fight.

He's been pretty good throughout his run, no question. But he needs a career-defining win to cement his legacy, IMO. And this could be it.

A fight with Ward at 170lbs is fair for both parties, and would be a pretty big sell, if marketed properly.

[Boxing Goat]

Canelo would outbox Kovalev and humiliate him.

Lol he's never been out-boxed as a pro. Not even by Ward. Keep dreaming.

Why are neither ODLH nor Canelo mentioning Andrade?

[Longhaul]

If kovalev has his **** together and after his last fight it looks like he’s listening to his trainer now I think Canelo would be in big trouble if he fades in the fight like he did with Jacobs.With the extra weight he would have to carry I think it would surely happen.Dont care what his walk around weight is because he has to be able to perform at a high level at the weight.
