Canelo vs Kova for September heavy rumours

[Nay_Sayer]

My Mexican sources say its true and at a CW of 172 for the WBO LW championship,

I like Alvarez' chances. Kovalev will be a walking deadman at that weight..

[joseph5620]

Yeah, but that fight was a paper fight .

Thais a serious mission

So was Canelo's fight at 168. No way in hell did he win a title against a true top 168 pound fighter.

Hope this isn't true because it'd be a useless fight.

I'd much rather see him face GGG, Andrade, Saunders or Charlo before I watch him against a weight drained Kovalev...which does nothing for his resume.

[JERMELL_CHARLO_]

Get that check Kovalev.

Who is talking about that fight, id.iot?

That was a paper fight, but this possible fight vs Kovalev is a great fight

Two things:
#1 - Kovalev will be near death at 172.
#2 - It will be funny to see Canelo's fanbase defend the catchweight when they've been criticizing Floyd for fighting Canelo at 152 for more than half a decade.

There’s a big difference there. Floyd had fought both Oscar and Cotto at 154. He took a boxing scene quote from when Canelo was a big welterweight and used it to squeeze him down a few pounds.
Big difference than in this case where Canelo would be going up a few divisions and Kovalov agreeing to a catch weight to make the fight feasible.

Another stu.pid hater.

Canelo beat the best two guys in his división .

And we don't know if would be a catchweight fight or not

And canelo accepted the catchweight in Floyd fight...

[Mexican_Puppet]

What say you?

Yeah, because Floyd is retired and shot right now...and canelo is better.

[Boris Johnson!]

At 175 kov beheads him but draining a guy of his age down he won't be the same

[Boxfan83]

I'm one of them

Floyd was a great fighter

Im a fan of Floyd too

Yes Floyd was truly a great fighter. He earned his stripes beating legit Mexican and American boxers. Not beating the Jorge Cota's and the Carlos O Campo's of the division.

What I don't get is how Floyds fanbase can follow fighters that make a career being a watered down version of Floyd. Its kinda sickening to see a prospect or title holder avoid a challenge to fight a lesser opponent with a Spanish last name.
