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

[MDPopescu]

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.

... the only way Canelo would win vs Ward is by having a ref who enforces the rules by the book: in that manner Ward would be DQ by round 5...

if kovalev is 1/3 the fighter he was when he fought popkins he will KO alvarez

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.

You keep saying that but when will Floyd let the young bull off the leash? I'm sure he's waiting until Loma is super old and his legs are slow. Unfortunately at that point Davis will not get full credit for beating him. If he doesn't fight Loma after Loma fights the winner of Commey/Lopez and wins, he is outright ducking.

I want the fight after Gamboa, and can be made next spring. Loma, I guess, will be busy chasing trinkets at that point.

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

"trinkets" is what your boy was fighting for since 130 lbs wba regular belt till upcoming 135 lbs regular belt.

Canelo is a fine boxer, but his fights are picked very carefully to ensure he has necessary advantages.
He's always been given the benefit of the doubt with regards to scoring.

Not like Kovalev. He is just a fine boxer (albeit ageing) with none of Canelo's privileges.
Plus there's that 2 weight class advantage.
But I agree, Canelo might be too much for Kovalev at this stage of his career...
