Comments Thread For: Kovalev Now Older, But Canelo Fight is Definitely Compelling

[Curtis Harper]

You can bet Canelo will have at least a rehydration clause which is BS. He knows Kovalev has declined, and is vulnerable to body

How many fights would you say Kov has left ?!?!?!?

I love it how just the mention of Nelo ages a guy !!!!!!

Some fighters don't understand how Floyd was trained from the crib, by 2 top level fighters/trainers! That's hard to mimic, without the same level of training!

One of the best parts about Floyd was his own unique style. How many other fighters are known for having a lead right hand as their best punch?His reflexes let him fight the way he did. I’m glad his style is the opposite of universal.

So many CHUMPS crying over how old Kov is but won't say how many fights he has left or who will be the guy to retire him !!!!!

Same thing with GGG. They act like every month that goes by equals 7 years when Canelo is talked about. Yet look GREAT when fight other boxers.

I call it the “Cinderella Effect”. Fighters turn into Pumpkins when signed up to fight Canelo and then Poof! Turn back to normal when fighting anyone else...

Pretty much.

Nelo has a way of destroying people like no one has or CAN

What’s really gonna he funny if GGG TKO’s Sergiy! That will REALLY confuse these Canelo HATERS.

I used to think Canelo moved like there was two inches of snow on the ground. He also seemed to have to pull back and reset after each combo. But I think Canelo is a fighter that seems to be consistently improving. Kovalevs jab will have to be the story if he wants to win. Kovalevs body language isn’t great, which can only make winning a decision harder as if he needs that. I’d be very impressed if there’s enough punches in this fight for either to stop the other.

Canelo is a COMPLETELY different fighter now. You used to move like he was in quicksand. His footwork was terrible and you are CORRECT! He had to reset his stance every time. Now look at him??? His head movement is insane! Almost ALL his combos involve at least one body punch. I don’t even think he’s done learning yet.

GGG's fan base has took a massive downsizing since he challenged Nelo to a Mexican standoff

Quasimodo didn't know he had a twin

Come on no fighter forces a catchweight against a credible opponent to benefit the the other guy.

Im merely saying, would it have been better to do a fight with his catchweight opponents at full 160? To me that would be worse,granted you can say he shouldn't fight anyone "smaller"(most warent actually smaller except to gain an advantage they fought lower weights like Con because they are garbage vs their own size),but hes been able to become a much bigger star & accomplish a much greater resume by fighting every named fighter he can around his weightclasses with Catchweights,& you have fighters like ggg who decry this practice but end up dragging them up to full 160 instead & Vs rolls he did a catchweight higher than 160 which meant rolls was at a disadvantage because of it; & then they cry that they deserve half the purse even though they haven't sacrificed by making concessions to become a star because fighters like ggg claimed for years that cws are a disgrace & like every other entitled modern fighter he never became a draw because he ducked outta sacrificing anything to make fights.

I think u said it all. His head movement has really impressed me also. He seems to add that one extra punch to his combos. I know Canelo is a superstar for lots of reasons but he’s not overrated in the ring. I think after the first ggg fight Canelo knew he could do even better. He starts fast so I don’t mind when he uses sum later rounds to recover, and then come on strong again. He’s great against the ropes. He has great body language. I think he’s too consistent for Kovalev. I saw ggg regress at the same time I saw Nelo improve.
