    Skill wise? Yes.

    Yarde whilst lacking experience, is a decent fighter too, far from a novice.
    He has the resume. But he got that resume by playing out his career. Now he's at the end and the resume is only useful for reference not as an indicator of his skills at present.

    As for Yarde how do you know he's a top fighter? He has no resume.

        Canelo himself has always been a lhw... he should have fought at this weight damn near a decade ago.

            It was a very good win against a proven top level fighter albeit a top fighter who is in decline but a fighter who STILL remains a credible opponent nonetheless.

            I had Canelo down 94-96 after 10, and he didn’t look sensational by any means last night. But we have to give him credit for pulling it out the bag and finding the stoppage. His ring generalship and defence were excellent last night.
            I didn't see the fight but from what I gathered from the majority of the comments on the forum it was more of a non effort from Kovalev rather than a determined effort to win the fight.

                    canelo fights kova and is a cherrypick, ggg has a mismatch coming and you have nothing but excuses like i said you have some clear double standards...

                            Irrational and illogical. GGG has nothing to do with this thread or the fight.

                            Go away.

                                        Hilarious everyone mentioning Beterbiev. He was a nobody until last week.
