Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez After Selfie With Kovalev: He's "One of The Best"

[BoxingIsGreat]

... in fact, just after the Yarde fight, I watched Ward (as commentator for ESPN) saying that Kovalev should go for the Canelo fight (and the big retirement money) next, rather than chasing the other champs at 175...

He's right, strategically. These good boxers like Loma, Kovalev, Usyk, should only go for big money fights. Nothing much more to prove.

With Loma, though, that's not total for me. He hasn't met his match yet. Enter Davis.

They both seem like they sincerely like each other.

Really good observation. I think people are focusing on Kova's weakness in body and lack of KOs, but forgetting how much experience he has.

Canelo has much more pro experience and better opponents, especially in big fights. So that won't cut it in this case.

Loma and Davis both said, as of lately, that they want to fight each other...

Good. They are neighbors now.

See, two guys who can be friendly knowing they can sell a fight without resorting to "I want a body on my record."

Real talk. How can he be salty towards a guy that he defeated twice(Despite the controversies that surrounded both fights) & stopped him in the second fight. I think this is more directed towards Big Red. I get where he's coming from with that in being friendly with the comp in a brutal sport like this. I see it as respect & don't have an issue with it. They're still gonna go in there & try to take each other apart. Not every fight has to have tension to make it a good fight. Ward might wanna come back & go after that fight for that Canelo money & the title if Canelo wins & then retire again. He was pretty vague when he was asked about it in recent interviews & now this so it might be a sign.

... he might, maybe... but Canelo is no fool to enter the same ring with Ward... Ward would wrestle him into submission...

I know people ***** but I like the mutual respect. Both guys are coming to fight but this **** kind of sells itself with the fight actually being at 175. No need for manufactured drama.

I agree. Not a fight I'd favor Canelo in. Ward's size along with his variety of tactics would frustrate the living hell outta Canelo.
