Will Canelo vs Kovalev Be At a Weight-Draining Catchweight For Kovalev?

[kushking]

Canelo became known for implementing catchweights in many of his fights in order to gain an advantage over his opponents. There have also been times he has selected opponents from much lower divisions so that he has a overwhelming size advantage, as we know most famously against Khan where it almost backfired as Khan was schooling Canelo for much of the fight, only to be caught with what some have deemed a lucky punch from the much heavier man.

The question now is, will Canelo implement a catchweight against Kovalev, what do you think that catchweight will be**, and will Kovalev be weight-drained going into the fight, unable to perform anywhere near to the best of his ability?

**The catchweight can be anywhere between 169 lbs to 174 lbs in order for it to qualify as a light heavyweight title fight**

What a bunch of horsesht,when has canelo drained anyone with a cw to gain an unfair advantage? Canelo haters are the most pathetic ******est mofckers in boxing. Remember when ggg claimed he didn't do cws? Then dragged ultra bum rolls to a cw,& was willing to give rosado a cw. To top it off what ggg does is infinitely worse he drags welter bums/retired ww bums to full 160,but your dumb ass is claiming tiny ass midget canelo is weight bullying ppl for making cws at 155 rather than having fighters go to full 160

Wheres your thread for ggg dragging up brook to full 160 weeks after saying Canelo fighting a ww at 155 was a disgrace to Boxing?

Not sure. Feel like it wouldn't surprise me if it was 171 or 172. Either that or a rehydration clause,

[LetOutTheCage]

Most likely, Canelo weight to return

Of course, Canelo is the "A" side. State of boxing nowadays smh.

Oh definitely stay away from the other younger champs, fight Canelo and then one more fight and retire.

The Canelo fight IS kovalev's retirement fight; it's cash out time imo.

You forgot to include hydration clause.

I don't think Canelo will ask for a catchweight. He knows fans would hate that and it would diminish the potential win. Plus Kovalev probably would not agree to it and without Kovalev there is no fight. There might be a second morning weigh in limiting the weight gain but no catchweight.

I'm pretty sure his fans would let it slide.

...against Khan where it almost backfired as Khan was schooling Canelo for much of the fight, only to be caught with what some have deemed a lucky punch from the much heavier man.

I don’t see how luck had anything to do with it. Canelo faked a low jab, Khan dropped his hands, and Canelo followed with an overhand right. Fight over.

So boxing organizations have banned second day weighins to allow fighters to rehydrate properly in the name of safety. Then they don't stop members of a weight division from adhering to a rehydration limit in their contract. Does this make any sense from a safety perspective?
