Let's just call it how it is: Canelo is only fighting Kovalev because he is old

[Larry the boss]

Golovkin trilogy
Andrade
Saunders
Callum Smith
Bivol
I'm perfectly fine with Kovalev if he doesn't drain the old man (only made this thread to clarify why he wants Kov now)

Golovkin is OLDER then Kovalev

[kushking]

I want Canelo not to drain Kovalev and have a fair fight with someone for once without being up on the judges scorecards before the fight starts...that's what I want.

So your admitting your 1 more of the nonsensical ggg fans,gtfoh with this bs about being up on the scorecards as if ggg didn't literally get the most favorable possible refs imaginable in the rematch including 2 judges that favored him by giving him a wide gift v Jacobs & who had him winning the 1st fight. You act as if they didn't intentionally gift ggg extra rds in the rematch he clearly lost or as if they didn't score it very close v Jacobs when it was a blowout. Canelo has had far less favoritism than most fighters who regularly get gifted 12 rd won decisions in 50/50 fights,canelo got a split decision vs Lara whom he destroyed ffs. Every fighter gets the odd favoritism scorecard,it means nothing considering the decisions have all been the rightful results. No matter what happened in the fight haters would cry robbery if nelo wins deservingly,ffs theres haters that say jacobs beat him when even Jacobs says otherwise. If you think canelo is getting gifted wins by prefilled then you know sht about boxing,Byrds Scorecard aside.

Its evident that judges will always score nelos clear wins as razor thinnvictories because they know no matter what that they'll be haters crying robbery & crucifying the judges

Golovkin is OLDER then Kovalev

But he isn't drained.

I said I like the Kovalev fight if he doesn't get drained by Canelo. Read!

That would destroy Kovalev. He already gasses and is vulnerable in the later rounds. Draining him would make the fight trash

Yeah you are real unbiased buddy...

"Destroyed Lara"...gtfoh man lmfao

[JohnCastellanos]

I mean let's not kid ourselves here. Kovalev is a nice big name on Canelo's resume and he will probably drain him to get an advantage.

Would any of you guys seriously think Canelo would try to fight a 30 year old Kovalev? The one that was destroying Pascal and dropping Ward? Hell no...

And if you do think that...why isn't he mentioning any of the other active but younger champions at light Heavyweight like Bivol? Bivol is at DAZN as well so that fight would be easier to make. It's because Kovalev is old now, that's why...

Stop hating on the great one man no one else is making moves like this and be smart enough to be realistic about the weight. More than likely there will be a 10 to 15 rehydration clause which you should have absolutely no problem with. I don’t see the problem with that when you have Golovkin only fighting DC because he’s forced to do so and you have him dreaming of KOing no hope bums like Murata. I don’t get how strict you guys are with one guy but the other guy gets to fight whoever

[Ritz Kola]

Yeah. Can’t argue. It’s an easy way to become 4 divisions champ though. Heck He’s not really a 3 division champ and he calls himself it.

[AKAcronym]

Yeah you are real unbiased buddy...

"Destroyed Lara"...gtfoh man lmfao

Don't even bother with that guy.

i read it well..you called him "OLD MAN KOVALEV" yet mentioned a 3rd fight with an even older GGG..Duva already confirmed the contract that was send was for 175 and they would turn down any rehydration clauses

[TonyGe]

Typical ggg fans for you,they think cashcow fighters should face "prime" opponents who are completely untested/unproven & don't provide name recognition & whom these jokers will just discredit anyways if he did,& Ironically they only hold Canelo to this standard & nobody else, according to them Wilder must be old & washed up because hes soon 34 & according to them ggg was aged by canelo facing him a yr & a half after winning the wbc,yet they say nelos ducking supposedly geriatric G for a supposed washed up Kovalev whos younger than divaG & far deadlier


If Canelo suddenly says hes going to face Andrade/Boo next they'll say he ducked kov as they were saying before Canelo made him his 1st true payday offer in his career,these are the same few who were decrying Pacquiao as a easy cherrypick opponent for Thurman or someone Thurman would ko at age 40,the same who have no complaints about whom anyone besides Canelo fights.

Its insane that if a fighter like Canelo fights Charlo/Andrade next they'll instantly discredit them as opponents like they did Jacobs the absolute best possible opponent at the time,& it's even more rediculous considering Canelo is already the rightful undisputed at mw,that pos WBO trinket andrade has is irrelevant,to top it off Canelo would be fighting 2 killers back to back & 3 in 4 fights in 3 weightclasses,& yet they don't say sht about whom the rest are fighting that make Kovalev look even more dangerous in comparison,& nelos literally the only fighter facing so many top names so often...

I noticed you said top names not fighters.

[4truth]

I agree with that but this thread is to clarify why he is fighting Kovalev now. And we all know he probably is going to drain Kov...let's just be real.

True but I don't want to devalue the fight as it is. The fight, as it is, is a great fight.

Sure Canelo sees a possibility of victory he might not have seen fighting a younger version of Kovalev but you can only fight the Kovalev that's available.

That said, if Canelo insists on a catchweight or special weigh-ins above and beyond what is required by the sanctioning bodies involved, the fight loses most if not all of its credibility.
