Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: I Didn't Recommend Canelo Move Up For Kovalev

[Boris Johnson!]

possible canelo over-roids for this one, comes in too hulked up and loses his speed

[markther]

I have DAZN, it’s $19.99 per month or $99 if you pay for it up front. Not a bad deal, a lot of past classic fights on there too.

[STREET CLEANER]

Calculated risk for Canelo. Kovalev appears to be aging and cannot take it well on the body. But Kovalev might be able to get up for this fight and give Canelo a pounding.

For this fight they are going to let Canelo eat as much red meat as he wants...

[fernandtg]

Canelo will have an unlimited supply of big, juicy steaks marinated in roid sauce.

[Iron Fister]

Not gonna bash Canelo here. This is a huge challenge.

What's up with Kovalev's court case?

[Boxing Logic]

Hell I'll get my whole family to sign up for DAZN if DAZN promises to use half the proceeds to hire a real strength and conditioning team for GGG. It's lazy to just say he's old. Something been looking wrong with him since he was 32. Do fighters really decline that early? I guess most athletes do but I seen plenty of boxers look good at that age, including Sergey Derevyanchenko.

I think GGG added too much muscle, specifically too much high altitude muscle which seems to create bigger softer muscles, not tight lean strong explosive muscles how GGG used to look more like.

... I guess you don't know anything about Oscar forced to pay $8.5 million dollar to Félix “Tutico” Zabala Jr. for signing Canelo back in 2009...

What does that have to do with anything?

Golden Boy Promotions steals someone else's fighter, gets caught for said theft, and has to pay a restitution when finally charged.

Doesn't change the fact that Canelo was a star in Mexico, was brought over and saw his star built further in CA/TX/NV, and Oscar was so far out of the loop that he went on a ****ing bender the week of Mayweather-Alvarez, and that had literally zero impact on the event. Lol

Toney is a freak of nature, a natural fighter who isnt bothered by weights. His body is different than Canelo’s.

Toney is a special fighter Canelo is not in the same stratosphere.

He is in for an ass whooping

I’m with you on this one. Canelo IMO is going to lose... Kov will be popping his head back all nite with that jab

[whoseyourdaddy]

Whilst Toney had fantastic boxing skills, he was juicing from cruiserweight up and tainted his legacy, p*ssing hot on a couple of occasions.

And didn't never really fought the B+ heavies neither, just like Roy Jones, Jr. they went for the easy pickings Ruiz's of the world.

I guess you missed the part of the appealing part where Canelo ended up paying 800K instead of the full amount.
