Sounds like it's damn near a done deal, too!

It’s all about that coin
This will be huge to casuals once their informed lol

You’re comparing a career light heavyweight who has the build of a cruiser weight to a career jr middleweight now about to fight in his 5th weight class!

Then you bring up Pacman so that tells me Canelo is doing something right!

If Canelo beats the other guys at 175 you all would say they were too green and not experienced enough!

Only now recently they are starting to build their experience and test themselves ie(Gvozdyk vs Beterbiev)

Kovalev has the best resume at 175 and is more legit than any of them yet you denounce this because he’s older than them!

Hey if you like spending your money on mismatches then I guesss you’re either a true boxing fan or a guy who bets on easy fights!

Btw Pacman is in his 7th weight class at 147 so I guess a Spence beating Porter is a better win than beating Pacman?

Or do you really believe that a Kovalev win as your debut at full 175 is not a better win than if he beats inexperienced Bivol or still untested Gvozdyk and Beterbiev)!

Of course it isn't. Those 3 guys are much tougher opponents than Kovalev currently is. He's the weakest champion at LHW and just went life or death with a guy that's clearly inferior to any champ in his weight class.

He did the same thing at SMW with Rocky Fielding. Picked the weakest champ.

That being said, Kovalev is a great fight to test the waters at LHW. The problem is we all know he will just go back down, instead of unifying.
