People want to discredit Canelo so bad they expect him to stop a champ 2 divisions...

[Eff Pandas]

Only on NSB would saying you think a guy is gonna beat another guy somehow be attributed not to your opinion on a fight, but claimed to be some form of hating on the guy you pick to win lmfao.

Wut in the f#ck are we doing here people?

[Eff Pandas]

Not trying to discredit anyone but Canelo fans who ignore or make lame excuses for Canelo a-side weight demands.

If Kovalev agrees to any demand Canelo does or does not make thats on Kovalev.

Same deal with anyone. I thought Bad Chad was a dumbass for going down to 168 to fight Dre, but that aint got sh^t to do with Dre. Chad agreed to it. Cant agree to something then cry about it nor should fans get all into it either if the fighters agreed to it

We can all be bought, that isn’t even in question. The question is, how can you give credit to a fighter who buys an advantage? If Canelo isn’t willing to face the same fighter every other challenger would face for Kovalev’s lhw title, then winning that title means very little.

I see Canelo stopping Kovalev, just like I saw Hatton stopping Castillo.

Thats the sport brother. There are few hard universal rules in boxing. 2 guys can decide to plenty of things they wish to. Thats how it is & thats how its been. Id love for there to universal rules to be fair, but there isnt.

Titles in general mean very little. Im not invested in all these weirdo legacy discussions most of the time anyway.

I wonder if there will be a rehydration clause for this fight to drain Kova?

Kovalev is 6 foot tall but also a very SKILLED 175 pounder who has proven his skill-set against equally skilled operators in:

Hopkins - even tho B-hop was old, he still was in great shape and no one dominates him without having to go through a hard-to-score hug fest at the very least. Kovalev didn't even allow him to do that by backing up every time hopkins went in for the clinch and timing his shots, which B-Hop acknowledged in his post-fight analysis.

Vs Andre Ward - an great BOXER and talent who is hard to outbox and Kovalev showed his skill set even tho he lost (i'm not here to stir up a Kova vs Ward pissing contest about who won the first)

Aganst Yarde - a much stronger, muscular, natural Light-heavy, where he showed his durability when given a chance where the ref wasn't as trigger happy to stop the fight. Yard while inexperienced showed some skill and slickness.

^^^Now these are all 6 foot tall+ opponents with equal to better skill than little 5'7 Canelo.

On paper, there is no way little munchkin Canelo is supposed to win a fight like this, unless the cards are stacked against Kovalev - who is already on the verge of being shot.


Delahoya and Goldenboy are trying to spin the narrative into a impossible to win scenario for Canelo who is jumping up two weight classes, which does seem that way on paper.

But in reality it's more like this:

[kidbazooka]

Canelo is fighting an old man who’s 4-3 in his last 7 and has been knocked out twice.

GGG is fighting a guy Canelo vacated the IBF belt to avoid.

You realize how ****** you sound “canelo avoided Derv” to fight Kovalev.

Man you guys are jokes Derv is a fuucking bum who just got whooped by Jacobs who in turn got whooped by Canelo that bum does nothing for Canelo but ggg seems to like those type of bum fights.

Again Canelo is fighting Kovalev not bum ass Dervchencko for crying out loud.

and no one gives ward credit for that win so you kind of proved every critics point.

Well fanboys & haters are gonna fanboy & hate no matter what.

If Canelo beats Kovalev at 175 with no extra clauses Kovalev is still gonna be fighting too soon or be too old so fanboys & haters are gonna find a way to diminish this W no matter what. Thats what fanboys & haters do. Floyd & Manny fought no one but bums to hear some f#ckheads talk about it today.
