WarNelo. Daring 2 be great jumping 2 classes and facing a formidable challenge

[redmish]

These guys have to stop trying to sell the fight as canelo jumping up 2 weight classes. The dude has fought at 168 twice before.

You're right but his last fight was MW so he is jumping two weights officially. Great fight. Kovalev isn't quite what he was but Canelo has my respect.

he holds a (fake) belt at 168 though lol. It's moving up one division.

This is what makes him top dog! A pound for pound great. Who else jumping divisions to win belts? Not that many out there willing to take the risk for legacy.

bold move if you ask me...

from The Ring: "If successful, Alvarez will take a major swipe at history. The last reigning middleweight champion to dethrone a light heavyweight titleholder was **** Tiger, who outpointed Jose Torres in December 1966. Sugar Ray Robinson came close to accomplishing the feat in 1952, but searing heat, combined with a larger opponent, got the better of the pound-for-pound legend."
