Comments Thread For: Canelo: This is a Risk - Kovalev is Stronger, Bigger Than Me

[robbyheartbaby]

Win win scenario for carrot top, well played, I like the fight he's doing big things but let's see if he's taking KKKrusher for granted.

so you would prefer canelo at 23 fight kovalev at 30? thats pretty pathetic. just like triple flop fans upset that a green canelo didnt fight triple flop. Canelo is creatg his own history and is now a living legend.

The FORM Kovalev was in in 2014-2015. He was a monster and todays Canelo wouldn’t have wanted any part of that.

Bit off more than he can chew. It be one thing if Kovalev was a brawler with no boxing skills but Kovalev is very skilled and knows how to use his reach very well.

Canelo is going to have to get inside and eat heavy shots in order to get to that body and I think he will pay the price.

... no, man... it will be an exhibition fight...

Damn right canelo is taking a huge risk with this one! Despite the haters Kovalev is still dangerous and just beat a undefeated and young fighter in Yarde. Canelo is going to have to work on avoiding those Kovalev power jabs! Great *****in fight!

... ... no, man... it will be an exhibition fight...

Lol classic right there. Kovalev and GGG fight nothing a like. Kovalev is a sniper, while GGG is a guy who imposes his strength and power.

They are both great in their own ways but they fight nothing a like so that statements holds zero weight on how this fight unfolds.

Oh and Kovalev is a LHW lol. Canelo will have to exert a lot of energy to get to Kovalev and he will pay the price late.

... no, man... it will be an exhibition fight...

Like Chavez

and Chavez is even bigger that Kovalev...

canelo getting beat up. kovalev is too big too strong and too good of a boxer. nightmare scenario for canelo. hes going to need to consume a lot of tainted meat and hope and pray that kovalev completely is shot and ages completely over night.

... no, man... it will be an exhibition fight...

Kovalev already said that he will not use his size and power advantage and that he will only box!!!

... it will be an exhibition fight...

(because Kovalev gets his retirement money, doe)...

This is actually a great fight. Enjoy it!

Kovalev might not be the one he was five years ago but he's still a great fighter.

You don't become a bum after 35. Just a bit worse but considering Canelo is going up two divisions it's ok.

I think it can be a really good fight.

I hope there's no padded gloves stuff involved or something fishy.

I must give some respect to ginger for taking this fight.

[chirorickyp]

Joke!!!!! He's shot, he's shot he's shot. He's been shot for 3 years. That's why he's taking the "CHALLENGE". Fight the real Champs at light heavy. There's at least 5 bigger challenges from middleweight to light heavy. GFYS

i mean sure he isnt the krusher he was 4 or so years ago but still i wouldnt class a guy winning 4 out of his last 5 fights 'shot'

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Lol!!! Bigger and Stronger...,left out past his prime and been ko'd 2 out of last 4!! Hence 4-1 odds!!!! No risk/challenge wen ur the clear favorite!!!

[Boxing lives]

Thats right Canelo. You might not be good enough. You have to prove it at 175. Kovalev is much harder than that hyped up scrub Golobalkin or whatever at 160 was.

Ripe for the pickins especially after barely surviving against a guy who's green and doesn't spar. That fight was his last load. No juju left in him and it's a short period of time after being, I believe, concussed. He's not ready for November, he is taking health risks. 4 fighters he fought are not elite. 4 years ago they all would have been krushed by him. Canelo didn't pick the hungry young champs for obvious reasons.
