Comments Thread For: Reynoso: Kovalev's Better; Why Wouldn't Canelo Fight Beterbiev?

[_Rexy_]

No shame but to say he's better than Kov.??? That is the only issue I had.And YES... Another 30 seconds and Bivol no longer has that 0

Another 30 seconds and he likely doesn't get rocked though. he let his guard down because of the time. A lot of guys do that when they hear the clicker to signify ten seconds remaining.

Doubt he makes that mistake again.

Why WON'T Beterbiev fight Wilder???

Weight classes

Oh. So weight classes all of a sudden matter now to people like you? Lmao. Let me guess. Its because Canelo is involved huh?

I dont see Beterbiev fight anyone at HW do I? But no, Canelo is fighting at 175 isnt he?

Hes only there to cherry pick Kovalev so why even open your mouth? Anyone without an agenda knows Kovalev is the most vulnerable champion at 175.

Anyone knows styles makes fights and no chance in hell he survives what Gvozdyk didnt.

Am I saying hes ducking him? Nope. But why pretend like you're fighting the best 175 has to offer when that's not the truth. Why pretend like hes getting the Krusher in his prime.

Canelo wont fight Beterbiev because hes not old enough and style wise it doesnt make sense.

But Canelo is okay fighting Kovalev because hes old and styles make sense.

Lol...old and slow with weaker punch resistance evident in last several fights where he has been ko’d twice and seriously hurt in last....better than Beterbiev - hilariously ignorant!!!!

[JonDP]

Zero chance of that happening. This old guy cracks me up, he’s a merry bulls#itter.

How many newcomers to a div go straight to the very best of that new div ??? We all know GGG never had the nuts and the move wasn't as significant as Nelo's.

Literally every WBO champion who has moved up.


But we can just pull Lomachenko and Crawford out of a hat.

That hat probably holds no more than 5 names. Add Nelo to that hat.

[Scopedog]

Beterbiev would crush Canelo. That’s not just a physical mismatch, it’s a horrendous style matchup as well.

Lmao,loma nor Crawford have done that. Loma faced chinares who was kod by bums beforehand & 14 seconds his next fight. Crawford faced Horn(I genuinely believe Arum set up pac to get Crawford a free belt,& I think its bs Arum says he vetoed a pac fight for his own good) neither Crawford nor loma have had near the size disparity of this fight nor did they face anyone who was a ko artist like kov,let alone someone who has his ko resume. Just think how ironic it is that Crawford is Canelos height(heights not everything,I will concede your prior pt,but it matters,it influences reach & frame)

Reynoso's talking out of his arse here. Kovalev may have been better than Beterbiev 4 years ago, but not now. Not a huge age gap, but there's a lot more miles on Kovalev's clock due at least in part to Beterbiev's inactivity in that time. If either Kovalev or Canelo - or anyone that could make 175lbs - fought Beterbiev in the next 12 months they'd get stopped; however long the beast remains at his peak after that is a question for another time.
