Why are people acting like Canelo-Kovalev is a bad fight?

[Mammoth]

Hey, let's not turn this in to a Canelo suck off contest now

[DeathWish]

Kovalev is cashing out ...

[NearHypnos]

It’s a damn good fight. Hell, it’s a bad matchup for both. Canelo has to get inside against the biggest and strongest man he’s ever faced with one of the best jabs in all of boxing and a bonafide big puncher.

This is a bad matchup for Kovalev only if Canelo can get inside... we forget Kovalev had the skills to out box Ward at some point.

Kovalev is the weakest of the current champs at 175 but he’s also the most accomplished (though oldest). The weakest at 175 is by no means a bad thing. He’s a real and deserving champion.

Canelo haters are hating the fact that canelo does big things don’t matter what it is they’ll keep on hating its a full time job for them.

They are scared of the possibility of Canelo winning a fight where he's jumping up 2 divisions and becoming a champion in another weight class. So they are trying to downplay it ahead of time.

yep they are scared canelo will be able to do what the great broner did...although canelo is really only moving up 1 division since hes already been 168 "champ" while the great broner did 2 at once. they just dont make um like they used to

Yeah, stylistically it's not a good match up for the Krusher but c'mon..... it's a good fight ffs.

I agree, it's a good fight. I know I'll watch.
I think a lot of the criticism is a reaction to Alvarez fans hyping the fight as David vs Goliath.

It is a good fight people just realistic about why Team Canelo picked him to fight instead of the other guys at that weight class

Because Kov is far and away the biggest draw at 175? And the biggest draw at 168 or 175?

[ShaneMosleySr]

No he isn’t.

Because Kov is far and away the biggest draw at 175? And the biggest draw at 168 or 175?

Because Kov is far and away the biggest draw at 175? And the biggest draw at 168 or 175?

And he the most vulnerable guy with an obvious weakness to body punching which is Canelo bread and butter.

This is perfect match-making.

Like i said is still a good fight. But i stopped sipping kool-aid decades ago lol
