Can Canelo hurt Kovalev?

[lead right]

I know there is a blueprint out there on how to beat Kovalev. Inside fighting is his kryptonite.

I never saw GGG in any danger when he fought Canelo. Could Canelo's power not have moved up with him as he moved up in weight?

To the body yes to the chin who knows Kova has shown a decent chin but he was hurt by light hitters like Ward and Alvarez.

GGG is a very rugged boxer who has never been down or badly hurt in his entire career. Even though he is a middleweight GGG takes punches to the head and body much better than Kovalev. Yes, Canelo will have the punching power to hurt Kovalev especially to the body where Kovalev has shown to be weak. Yarde had Kovalev in trouble with a body attack. Canelo is a much better body puncher than Yarde. That's the plan I think. Canelo will try to work inside and hurt Kovalev with body punches. Canelo has a damn good chin and can also take body punches well. Maybe hard punching light heavyweight Kovalev can hurt or even KO Canelo.

yes.. now can kov hurt canelo? that's the question.

Kovalev is a hired patsy, price tag $14m. He needs the $ for those two lawsuits with women, one of which he is being sued for $8m. At age 36-37 Kovalev is at the end and is cashing out and will take the dive vs Canelo.

Kovalev can hurt anybody

this is a guy who has killed people in the ring and drops, hurts opponents with jabs on regular basis

If he brings his A game, he could give Canelo a career ending beating

Canelo is a ballsy warrior for taking this fight

I don't think Canelo is particularly slick defensively, especially on the outside. I think he's better defensively up close, with his body movement. So if Kovalev can line up a 1-2, I'm curious to see how Canelo takes it.

But yes, Canelo can definitely hurt Kovalev.
