Canelo will NOT fight Kovalev at 175

[RL_GMA]

He has to fight at 175 or there's no belt at stake and the fight makes zero sense.

We've seen SEVERAL catchweight World title fights

Cotto vs Canelo for Middleweight title (155 Catch)
Pacquiao vs Margarito for Jr Middlweight title (150 Catch)
BHop vs Oscar for Middleweight title (157 catch)
Pac vs Cotto for Welterweight title (145 Catch)

I'm well aware of catch weights but what's wrong with fighting a 168 lb titlists?

Chavez Jr. didn’t engage. He coasted 12 rounds wanting a bag and avoided getting hit. Canelo just had to score simple fancy points and not break a sweat. Had Chavez Jr. actually fought he would’ve been stopped receiving too many blows to the head, not even Fonfara is as accurate as Canelo.

Again, Jacobs too didn’t engage much. He circled the ring with just a jab.

Boxing fans need to realize that power punches exhaust fighters. If any of you have actually done extraneous sport activity or workouts you appreciate what boxers endure. Try hitting a heavy bag and see how easily it is to get tired when you’re swinging massive power punches. It’s not easy...try doing that for 36min.while avoiding or getting hit

And why wouldn’t Kovalev just box on the outside with a jab like Jacobs did? You actually don’t know **** about boxing and are just talking nonsense.

If so, then why persue a rehydration clause?

If Kovalev decides bully Canelo and gain to 190.

[Boxing Scene]

it still sounds ridiculous

that is why I have no real interest in that fight

Canelo would be ****** to take that fight at 175

and if there is a catchweight... the fight becomes irrelevant

Benavidez/Smith would be much better opponents imho

not because they are more dangerous... because the fights are more credible

if Canelo fights Kovalev at 175... he is a baaaaad man

Yeah well you're talking about a half shot fighter and he's not going to fight him at 175 so stop giving Canelo the Catch Weight King credit for anything.

[Boxing Scene]

If Kovalev decides bully Canelo and gain to 190.

It's ***n simple. Don't fight a LHW if you aren't going to allow that LHW to fight at his weight class. If you don't want them to rehydrate to 190 go fight a middleweight.

If Kovalev decides bully Canelo and gain to 190.

And why doesn't he do that always then? if it's so beneficial... and supposing he can do that... why wouldn't he be doing that already?

stop whining bltch...

if it happens, then you can whine... until then, STFU

[aboutfkntime]

I think that is a crazy fight at 175... Canelo would be nuts

below 175... that is a waste of a precious fight date

Canelo should probably insist on a catchweight... like everyone else

if he takes that fight at 175 he is a stud

the folks who are whining and crying about a catchweight that has not even happened yet... are they the same bltches who supported Golovkin demanding 164 from Ward?

they are the same bltches... aren't they... ?
