Comments Thread For: Bivol: If Canelo Faced Kovalev of 4 Years Ago - It's A Different Fight

[chirorickyp]

Duhh! No kidding that's why he was handpicked. Both boxers cashed in on this. For 50million he would have fought Wilder or Joshua and risked further death. Money talks.

[aboutfkntime]

He was fighting Blake fkn Caparello 4 yrs ago, ffs.

and he was in a 50/50 with Andre fkn Ward about 2 years ago

Bivol has a point, but he exaggerateth

Kovalev was live

insiders are giving Canelo huge props, many picked Kovalev to win

a lot of fighters/trainers picked Kovalev to win

they commented on his condition, and on the short turn-around... and then they picked him to beat Canelo

that was a excellent win... but the only division where Canelo can lay claim to be the best is middleweight

[turnedup]

Oh I know he's no longer the killer he was but he is still more than capable of beating lil @ss Canelo. He was paid off and the way he acted in the fight and his comments afterwards are proof. Go look at how he acted in all other losses for reference. He backed off any time he really had an advantage, on purpose. I'm sick of this shady sh@t with Canelo.

I honestly don’t think he does have it in him, much like Golovkin I feel it’s retirement time. I’ve not been a Canelo fan since he popped dirty but he made a good business choice in getting an easy win for that belt against a fighter with a cracked chin.

Kovalev definitely took a dive...Almost through the front ropes. Canelo moves into the all time great conversation, solidifies his #1 P4P status, Passes Andre Ward on. Accomplishments. Looking like a top 25 of all time P4P.

He's right....

[factsarenice]

ummmmm, actually nobody picked Kovalev to win except Joe the Bartender and Mr. Dennehy.

Q. will Golovkin suddenly " remember " to work the body against his next (non-Canelo) opponent? ...

... and will he suddenly " remember " how to fight like a Mexican... ?

... or should he be "ashamed" of that performance, like Kovalev... ?

do you really not know why Golovkin abandoned his trademark body-punching in BOTH Canelo fights?

if you guys could give Canelo even the slightest little bit of credit, it would not reflect so badly on Golovkin

When have I not given Canelo credit..even if I thought he fought a washed up opponent Saturday I gave him credit for beating him, gave him credit for lara, trout and the second golovkin fight..didn’t have to but I have. Can you say the same about doing so for Golovkin..ever? Again wtf does Golovkin have to do with this thread.

[aboutfkntime]

(Kovalev) should be ashamed. He fought in an embarrassing manner and got walked down 90% of the fight...

I just wondered if it occurred to you how un-Mexican that performance from Golovkin was... as you totally threw Kovalev under a bus for not being able to handle Canelo either

you go and tell Kovalev he should be ashamed lol

it would be easier to give Canelo credit for the way he removes his opponents tools and limits their game

[aboutfkntime]

Cliff Rold picked Kovalev to win

as did Andre Rozier and a bunch of others

shush now... because we remember that Golovkin couldn't handle Canelo either for the first half of the rematch... he performed very similarly to Kovalev... tentative, backing up, eating hard punches
