Kovalev can’t take a punch

[ShaneMosleySr]

Andre Ward and Elieder Alvarez both only knocked out 50-percent if their opponents.

These are two of the lightest punchers in history of light heavyweight champions.

Both knocked out Sergey Kovalev.

Canelo Alvarez hits about 20 times harder than these two.

He’ll knock Kovalev out early.

Idk about early necessarily, but I think Kov's weak body & Canelo's strong body punching decides this fight & likely by stoppage.

[Robbie Barrett]

Canelo's KO% is below 50% above 154. Your logic makes no sense. He's going up 2 weight classes. MW punching power is going to feel weak even compared to average LHW.

Absolutely
I can see Kovi cringing already
Ko by body shot

[Larry the boss]

ko's are not always about how hard you hit but are more about timing

[ShaneMosleySr]

What would Ward and E. Alvarez’s KO percentage be against those five opponents?

Zero-percent.

Canelo's KO% is below 50% above 154. Your logic makes no sense.

You forgot precision and accumulation

[Robbie Barrett]

What would Ward and E. Alvarez’s KO percentage be against those five opponents?

Zero-percent.

They'd likely stop them all, size matters. If it didn't Golovkin would actually back up his words and move up.

Yeah I agree, but I don't know. I think team Canelo are very very sure of this or they wouldn't be doing it. However, there is no solid guarantee on anything. So we'll see...

Actually pulling for Kovalev. I think he's a true risk taker and like I say, I think Canelo's more of a diva, although I'm a fan of both.

[ShaneMosleySr]

Sure, Elieder Alvarez would knock GGG out, even though he couldn’t stop 23-31-3 Rayco Saunders.

They'd likely stop them all, size matters. If it didn't Golovkin would actually back up his words and move up.
