What will the weight difference be between Canelo and Kovalev on fight night?

[Chuckguy]

Canelo needs to do what mayweather would do and come in light. It won’t matter anyways as canelo is going to have an easy night. Kovo is going down with a brutal body punch. Even a prime kovo would be no match for king nelo. Kovo has always been fragile to the body.

Triple flop fans sayg he is a small middleweight. ha!!! he dwarfed canelo , derevnvhevnko and most other middleweights other than jacobs. triple flop is a coward who wont move up to challenge himself. Canelo is 5’8 more like 5’7 and these losers makg it seem like canelo is a comfortable 185 fighter.

I've never seen a Kovalev fight night weight listed above 186, many were listed to speculated to be 184 or below. That's probably where Canelo will be at.

Duva said Kovalev was 181 in the Alvarez rematch and that basically thats why his stamina was better or something to that effect. Would match with what people have been saying that Kovalev got old, stamina went to ****, but they found a way to rezig the puzzle so that by sacrificing some of his power, which he had an oversupply of, he could get 12 round stamina back and still compete in 12 round world championship boxing.

But to do that, had to make him a little smaller, less strong, less powerful.

Could be true. Who knows. Then again maybe hes just as strong, but hes fighting stronger guys (Alvarez and Yarde), and maybe his stamina is just as bad, but like the Chilemba fight, he pushed through it.

Look at Kovalev's last three fights. One he got knocked out in the 7th, one he looked to be fading mid rounds but pushed through and boxed beautifully so he didnt quite come close to getting knocked out or anything but he did look vulnerable, and then a third he looked vulnerable and almost got knocked out again, but his opponent gassed and he survived.

So is it really a different Kovalev in any of those three fights, or is it just one of those, when you're fighting on thin ice like Kovalev does now with his stamina, if you fought 100 times, sometimes the ice breaks, sometimes it doesn't.

I hope Kovalev wins though. I hope Kovalev wins, passes the torch to Bivol, and it kickstarts a new golden age at 175, meanwhile Canelo goes down to 160, GGG turns back the clock, and we get a new golden age round robin at 160.

Preparing to be disappointed though. My favorite fighters never get fair fights and it's really frustrating. I guess it's a compliment to them that even when they're old and put at disadvantages, people still consider them top opponents, but it's frustrating.

... That's it: Kova gets a handsome retirement payday...
