    Picking canelo ... Yarde showed no head movement at all and has kova in all kind of troubles when he went to the Body, props to Kovalev he cameback but he certainly isnt near his prime anymore

    Nelo has dealt with great jabbers, is young fresh has great body attack a great chin , has experience , star power with the judges ... nelo has it all to add another great name to his resume

      Canelo will bob and weave his way in the inside and kill Kov's body...Kov can out box Canelo if he keeps his distance and stamina up...it's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog!!!...

        first and most important, if it happens, will it be at a catchweight or have a rehydratation clause or will it be at 175 lbs?

        at 175 lbs i think sergey, as much of a fan that i am, is the weakest champ at the moment and that's why they are aiming at him.

        yes, kovalev is susceptible to the body but can canelo crack at 175 lbs?
        yes, kovalev's stamina is bad but so is canelo's
        and can canelo take sergey's power?

          Kovalev will keep him out of range.

              The diva's smart, he can always sniff out a weak champ.
              Guys like Liam Smith, Cotto and Fielding are easy prey.
              With the size difference he's got to be careful, but he beats a faded Kovalev.

                I guess you haven't noticed the kind of counters Canelo works off of jabs. Having a strong jab is not what beats Canelo. You're speaking of Kovalev like he's the pre-Ward Kovalev.

                I do have to say that I was seriously impressed by Kovalev's ability to recover from that. At 36, you can see he trained his ass off for that fight because he came back aggressive. His stamina might not be great but Canelo's stamina isn't particularly good itself.

                  I think that Yarde provided enough grit, determination, toughness and ability to trouble Sergey enough to make Canelo feel like he has a chance. Yet he will still ask for a weight clause to tip the scales more. I think the fight is too dangerous for Canelo, however he must see something in him to make him wanna avoid more legacy building and winnable matches.

                  I think Canelo has a great chance to beat Andrade and Charlo, and i think Charlo has softened up on competition enough to be beat. 36 year old Kov is a solid win on his resume but its like come on Saul, like enough is enough is enough is enough.

                    Kovalev should realistically kick his ass but if canelo can last him and his judges got it in the bag

                      Canelo can hurt Kovalev to the body but he has to get past Kovalev's jab to do it, and I don't think he can. I know he has that win over Rocky Fielding but I don't really think that he has any business fighting above MW, he's not big even for that division. I think we'll see why weight divisions are a thing once again as he gets jabbed to death and roughed up from a distance that he simply can't fight back against.

                      Of course, we all know that the judges would sooner allow their mothers to burn to death than score a close round against Canelo, and somehow I don't see Kovalev stopping him, so who knows.
