Comments Thread For: Warren: If Yarde Gets Kovalev vs. Canelo Winner - We'll Step Aside

[KrusherStan]

It's impossible for a mandatory to be promised to get the winner of a fight. It isn't illegal to vacate the title, no deal could force you to fight a mandatory (unless you want to keep the belt). The most likely scenario is that if Canelo beats Kovalev he vacates the title and Yarde fights the next highest ranked fighter.

There was NEVER any report of the fight being a catchweight at 170.. QUIT YOUR DAMN LIES.. Canelo wants to fight for the world strap.. only way that is possible is by fighting at 175

Canelo not asking for no damn catch weight.. PEOPLE AND THEYRE LIES

And you know this how? The early talk was a catchweight of 170. No reason for me to make this up!

yeah canelo would never try to gain an advantage over anyone...oh wait he just made rocky fielding do a rehydration clause but im sure he wouldnt try to screw with someone even bigger and better

In professional boxing, the light heavyweight division is above 168 pounds (76 kg) and up to 175 pounds (79 kg). Learn the game before you spout off nonsense!

Anybody for a new light heavy Caneloweight of 169?

Leonard vs LaLonde 2.0....

[BigStomps]

Exactly lmao Warren is smoking CRACK if he thinks Canelo would ever let his old ass tell him who he has to fight next. Never in a million years would canelo sign some **** like that.

Exactly my point! But there's still too many idiots on here who would say Canelo is ducking Yarde....
WTF are these idiots smoking??

[BigStomps]

Canelo would not duck anyone but why would he fight Yarde if he beats Kovalev? He is not a natural light heavyweight. Does anyone believe that he will stay as a light heavyweight for the rest of his career? There are plenty of big fights at 160 and 168. I could be wrong but if he beats Kovalev he will most likey drop back down in weight.

Exactly my point! Canelo has no intentions of staying at light heavyweight.
But why would he fight Yarde if he beats Kovalev??? He's a nobody!
But idiots will say he's ducking Yarde now.....
Just proves they are a bunch of morons!

A 10lb rehydration clause the morning of the fight... if you have problems staying under 10 the next morning you should probably move tf up.

Ok. I see a mention of a possibility of a catchweight, but nothing concrete and nothing about 170 lbs.
