Kovalev post on Instagram story about Canelo

[RetroSpeed05]

Basically saying hes only picked because Canelo thinks he old and shot.

He possibly forwarded the meme in good humour. I don’t think it’s a serious post. His interviews and instagram posts show nothing but respect for Canelo.

I mean isn't this like an open secret? Who doesn't know this. Kovalev ain't an idiot & he knows why he's being selected. Dudes know what the word around the sport it.

That's really really funny

Kovalev don't give a fk, he's about to cash out for 12 mill.......

[4truth]

Pretty funny but I hope Kov is taking this seriously and training to win. If this is truly a cash out and he’s just happy to be there, this could get ugly in the middle to late rounds.

Canelo and Kova actually like each other and have shown nothing but respect to one another.

I can't even hate on Canelo...if he can withstand Kovalev's power early on, and ends up fighting him close to even, or even legitimately winning/stopping him, hats off to him...that still obviously depends on him no re-hydration clause...but Kovalev is not easy pickings, not imo...if Canelo wins he will have to earn it

Keeping it friendly. If it was serious kovalev would bring up canelos ped abuse

I always wonder if these guys that win the Canelo lottery, whether they really want to win....part of them has to be like 'hey man, thanks for picking me...let's have a good competitive fight, and we will slide it your way...thanks for the retirement money bro!' lol
