more power to canelo then..

There’s a big difference between fighting for the lineal title and just a title.

I give Canelo full credit for stepping up to 175 and fighting a legit champion but it’s not as impressive as what Tiger accomplished.

i have no problem with that, the fact that canelo is in those conversations and still in his 20's just shows he is in the right path...

Props to the Cash Cow for taking on Kov at 175.
He could have forced a catch weight.

Curious to see how his stamina does. It decreased by 25% from Golovkin to Jacobs. If he puts on that much weight/muscle and his stamina increases, something is up. Putting on that much weight with iffy knees brings up questions too.

In addition to possible stamina problems for Canelo for moving up in weight, there is a possible issue with maintaining his speed. His combinations have to be a blur to have a chance and he will have to maintain his fast head and boy movement to avoid the heavy punches from Kovalev. Detractors notwithstanding, this is a gutsy move by Canelo. Rather than complain incessantly, folks should enjoy the fact that the fight has been made.

If Kovalev has anything left in the gas tank, he'll KO Canelo but if he doesn't, probably a UD for Canelo.

Yeah Canelo is a lock for the HOF and he’s not even 30, and that’s coming from a GGG fan haha.

this is sorta like micky garcia thinking he can move up to 147 and beat the champion without any tune up at 175 look for the same outcome kovalev is made of much sterner stuff then spents or the peds cheat alvarez
