Comments Thread For: Next Man Up for Saul Alvarez: The Pros and Cons

[Blond Beast]

Yeah, I’d take Canelo vs. Kovalev at 175 over a third GGG fight. GGG should just fight Andrade next & try to get that belt. Than Canelo vs. GGG III can be to unify the Middleweight division.

Right. I don’t think I’m the only one that think team Nelo are trying to push Andrade on GGG. It makes business sense on their part to avoid a dangerous guy who won’t translate into huge dollars. If ggg wins they won’t have to fight a guy who lost to a man they beat. Still I think what they really want is Munguia in a fight that will bring in the pesos regardless of how competitive people see it. How serious they are about Kovalev I don’t know. Catch weight could come up if Kovalev decides to bite.

My preference, in order from best to worst

1. Charlo

2. GGG

3. Andrade

4. Munguia

5. Smith.

Anything else I'm just not interested in.

1) Andrade

2) Charlo

3) Smith (only at 168)

4) Kovalev (only at 175)

5) any of the top super-middleweights... again, only at 168


Anything else I'm just not interested in.

What if the Kovalev fight isn’t at a catchweight?

Then it's a weight mismatch. If it is at a catchweight, then Kovalev will be drained. I just really hate when fighters skip more than one division at a time, 9 times out of 10 it just ends in disaster. If he wins then it's very impressive but I dislike it when guys make these massive leaps up in weight on a hail-mary gamble when there's still legit opposition in and around their own weight class and demand for the fights. I can see why people are interested in Canelo fighting Kovalev now that the possibility has come up but until then literally nobody was asking for it.

Callum Smith?

[InvalidUserID]

I'd love to see Alvarez v. Kovalev.

[JERMELL_CHARLO_]

Who do fans want to see?

Canelo vs JerMall Charlo would be entertaining if not then Canelo vs Mundo

[kidbazooka]

I say....

1 Kova would be a nice win on Canelos resume.

2. Andrade wipe out all the title holders at mw.

3. Charlo take about another undefeated mw.

4. Smith nice win but smith is still untested and unknown

5. Ggg tired of his entitled attitude like the world owes him something yet the he’s unwilling to take any risk guy has become a joke

[GlassJoey]

Kovalev wants to know whether the judging for a Canelo fight will be more corrupt than his first Ward fight

[GlassJoey]

Canelo vs Chris Eubank please

well said

top post !

there are plenty of legitimate questions at 160/168

in the large scope of things, that fight could make sense..... but not now, especially with Kovalev already signed to fight Yarde
