Comments Thread For: Lara: If Kovalev Isn't Shot & Old, Might Be Too Big For Canelo

[Mario g]

Love just showed you that he's not shot. Not at his prime anymore clearly but make no mistake he's a strong boxer. Canelo might get his face jabbed off and stopped late.

I can see that happening. Also Kovalev hits hard to the body.

If Lara didn’t get on that bicycle he would have been KTFO.

You silly how can you compare Bererbiev or even other solid punchers in light heavyweight with GGG. All Light heavyweight champions except Kovalev KO clenelo. It is so obvious clenelo wouldnt fight any prime champions. To be frank I truly believe even well past his prime old Kovalev can outbox clenelo. If kovalev keeps clenelo at distance he outboxes him easily.

canelo has a chin. ggg is way bigger and he couldnt ko canelo. same as with jacobs who was way heavier than canelo on the fight night.so i dont think bunch of paper champs can finish him. specially bivol. you are a knockout artist till you fight someone good.

Lara might be right , but I there’s a reason Canelos team is chasing this fight


How the f.uck is Lara/ Álvarez for a World Title , does the WBA not realize they look like a bush league Organization and lose credibility when they have 3 World Champs in the same division, How can 1 Sanctioning Organization think them having as many World Champions Under their banner as the other 3 Organizations have combined doesn’t cheapen and delegitimize their strap , Talk about Greed overriding their want for respectability

As ****ty as the WBA may look, they look world's better than the WBO, lol

Kovalev has the right trainer to give him a chance but he's older and it shows. As I see it, Kovalev's problem is that his inside fight game is nonexistent and Canelo has the head movement to get inside at will. Callum Smith, Caleb Plant, David Benavidez, Billy Joe Saunders and every other belt holder at 175lber beat Canelo & most by KO.

BTW, yes, you read that right. Billy Joe Saunders style is all wrong for Canelo and he beats Canelo fairly easy at any weight.

Make no mistake about it, this fight is about superior match making.

Dumbest **** I've read in a long time..

Andre Ward to kovalevs soul. this fight will be over in 2 or 3 rounds. kovalev is weak and ca'nt take body shots. damaged goods cherry pick.

He was taking Yarde's body punches just fine. This is just more BS...

Yeah agree

The WBA just looks Greedy / The WBO with the moves they make look Corrupt

Well said! Same with your Lara vs Canelo rematch comment.

This is partially dumb when Kovalev has more KOs that the other LHW have fights.

Can’t wait to take people’s money, lots of fools banking on Canelo’s defense and body attack but are forgetting Kovalev is a master with the jab and it’s pretty powerful basically considered a power punch!

Also, Kovalev can just clinch Canelo whenever he gets inside and you can’t tell me in any shape or form that Canelo is physically stronger than Kovalev!

I give Canelo all the credit if he takes this at full 175 with no restrictions, this is a legacy fight!

A Kovalev win puts him at pound for pound #1 end of discussion!
