Yeah I don't get it. I know Canelo wants to be a 4-5 division Champ or whatever but he's just constantly jumping through the weight classes seemingly trying to get easy picking fights while leaving behind unfinished business. It's like he has no home.
On another note, I doubt Kovalev beats Yarde but if he did an proves he still has gas in the tank then I don't think Canelo has much of a chance against him at 175. The majority of people don't even think he truly beat GGG.Comment

Kovalev is a risk (i don't think so but many do) with a reward. Yarde is a risk without a reward.
Rocky and Liam were setup fights. Canelo was at no risk in those fights.Comment

Give it a rest bro. Or, if you want to ignore my advice because you really do still think it's cool to bring up 5 year old PPV numbers as an argument why someone won or lost a boxing match, at least use the real number, which was rumored to be something around 130k best I can recall.Comment

If kovalev is already looking past yarde,we might get a repeat of ruiz-joshua. Never underestimate your opponent.Comment

Kovalev had an elite jab in his prime, now we'll just have to see. It was very good not elite his last fight for 12 rounds, before that it was very good not elite for 4 rounds then he gassed and it lost its steam and Alvarez walked through his jabs and KO'd him. Vs Ward it was still elite the first few rounds then lost its steam just like vs Alvarez.Comment

Would only depend on whether it was at the full fledged 175lb weight class or a bull***** catchweight/even worst rehydration clause.
Canelo would get battered against kovalev at 175lbs.
If he thinks Golovkin at 160lbs was a big hitter, wait till he faces a fully fledged light heavyweight in Kovalev.
And that jab of kovalev would terrorise caneloComment

There better not be a catchweight, but even if there isn't, people put too much importance on weight as opposed to age. Fighting 37 year old Kovalev is still a way easier fight, at 175, than fighting for example 30 year old GGG at 160. 30 year old GGG would have KO'd 37 year old Kovalev, at 175, with body and head shots, which happens to be what many are predicting Alvarez to do to him now.
Fans should support fighters who fight the best guys in their primes, rather than weight jump to where all the old guys with big names are. I hope Canelo-Kovalev happens, it's a good fight, but let's not pretend he's taking on prime GGG, or prime Dmitry Bivol (whether Bivol was a middleweight or a light heavyweight is not really the point. Obviously the fact he's a light heavyweight would make it even way harder for Canelo, but the point is Canelo has not even fought someone that good at 160 or 154. It's the quality prime guys he's avoiding, regardless of weight, is my point. The weight is secondary).Comment

You must've missed the Alvarez fight. With McGirt, Sergey is boxing better than ever.... actually listening to his trainer and doing what he's told. Not saying he beats Canelo... but he's certainly resurrected his career.Comment
