Canelo is going to kill Kovalev

[FinitoxDinamita]

Canelo is a short little chump compared to Kovalev. Just because Yarde did some good work doesnt mean Canelo can emulate. Size mean something and that’s why there weight divisions.

Lmfao at stubby midget beating Kovalev.

How about he fights somebody who isn't past their prime? Got all these options and he's going for a guy who's clearly past his sell by date. I mean the guy is still drinking ffs (if he was being serious). Not only that, but he won't even get that long off before he's back in the gym, while Canelo is much fresher.

Name me just one top fighter that Alvarez has KO'd or even dominated.
Sure the diva dominates guys like Khan, Fielding, Smith and Kirkland.
But move up a level to guys like Lara, Jacobs and Golovkin and the diva wins close controversial decisions.
Alvarez couldn't stop a smaller, faded Cotto or a 42 year old Mosley, so there's no way he'll "kill" even a Kovalev at 50% of what he was 3 years ago.

Canelo is at his absolute peak now not like in Mosley or even cotto fights he’s to diverse and sharp for Kova those body shots will end Kova.

LOL, couldn't handle GGGs jab? ...What are you talking about, his jab didn't do sht to canelo. Also Canelo took Danny's best shot and shook it off. Canelo has a proven chin.

Lastly, Kovalev doesn't have GGGs stamina and has a known weakness. So overall it narrows the odds.

That said Kovalev is still no joke. He's a proven champ. Tbh I think Canelo is nuts for trying to fight him. If Canelo can pull it off, it would be note worthy, but kind of pointless because we all know he wouldn't be defending it.

Kovalev is stronger than GGG, has faced and beaten better competition than GGG, boxes better than GGG, has a better jab than GGG, and probably has a better right hand than GGG.

Kovalev will also have height and reach over Canelo. It's a very daring fight for Canelo and a big reason why Canelo has so many fans..always fighting top tier guys and not Rolls or Vanes, for example

Who is available that's not past prime?

Alvarez might win a decision, but Kovalev aint no Liam Smith or Fielding.
Like I said, the diva hasn't hurt or stopped any top fighter.

That’s the thing, he is literally going to kill Kovalev, I don’t see how he gets by Canelo. He wouldn’t be able to catch Canelo with anything, he would get tired quickly, he can’t take it to the body, he has had too many wars. He would be fighting a Canelo who would weight drain him and coming into his prime. I hope the payday is worth it.

canelo just fought jacobs didnt he ?
he goes up 2 weight classes vs a champion with heavy hands who is capable of ko other light heavyweights with a jab but somehow canelo is the one cherrypicking here...
if this was canelo fighting a past prime MW then ill give you that, but he is going up 2 weight classes for this , even if kova is past prime...
canelo wouldnt go up for the other champs at 175 i agree on that, but why would he? none of the others have a name big enough to atract the face of boxing two divisions north...
do you think someone like pac or floyd would have gone to 160 for someone like billy joe saunders?, he wouldnt have done it for lara at 154, it just doesnt make sense at that level...
