Can someone explain how Kovalev is the weakest at 175?

Kovalev is the biggest name with the best resume but its crystal clear that hes not the fighter he once was. He would be an underdog against any of the other 3 champs at the weight.

Kovalev may be the best but he has a lot of wear and tear. Him getting knocked out by a light puncher like Ward and Álvarez and almost stopped by Yarde suggests his days are numbered. He could have unified but at this stage of his career decided to go for the payday. I don't blame him but surely Alvarez chose him for a reason.

Alvarez did choose him for a reason, $$$$$ is the reason. Those other guys barely move the needle, Kovalev is a big PPV.

Canelo is hated more than he should be because he lost to Floyd. So all the Floyd haters hate on Canelo because every Canelo win makes that Floyd win look better. And Canelo has gotten the benefit of some close decisions and then failed a drug test, so he's due some hate, but he's also challenged himself over and over and is daring to be great.

All the other guys are unproven. He's the best until proven otherwise.

He's 36.

And Andre Ward took his soul. Period.

And he's ****** as hell.
