Comments Thread For: Demise of Kovalev Makes Canelo vs. Ward a 175 Necessity

[Timur78]

The Battle of Two Fake Champs.

The whole Canelo train is just plain wrong.

If Kovalev 'win' is what defines Canelo's legacy than it's just rubbish and you now have to question Canelo's previous 'wins'.

Fixed Fights like Kova vs Canelo do irreparable damage to the sport.

If he wants to fight Canelo he will have to.

SOG hasn't had a payday in years. He will eventually agree to throw the fight, like Hagler vs Leonard, Duran vs Leonard 2, Kovalev vs Canelo, GGG vs Canelo 1, 2, Oscar vs Floyd, Canelo vs Floyd, Marquez vs Floyd, Ortiz vs Floyd, Berto vs Floyd, Maidana vs Floyd, Baldomir vs Floyd, Mosley vs Floyd, Cotto vs Floyd, etc.

Negative. Seems like you lost those bets of the fights you listed

S.O.G. gave kovalev a gut check in the 1st fight & beat the gas out of kovalev the 2nd fight. Toney Weeks saved kovalev's life too

If they do fight I got my money on S.O.G.

I think you have your fights backwards. The second fight was the "gut" check. And the first fight - once again, arguably a W for Kov if you ask most everyone, including Floyd.

But about that first fight. Because uh

Its a damn shame there are no good young fighters in there prime to test Canelo against in any of these divisions hes been in. Hes just such an unlucky guy. Its gonna look like he built hes legacy fighting old guys on the slide or something..

Jermall Charlo and/or Demetrius Andrade.

In his prime, I take Ward no doubt but this Canelo would be a tough out for him then. At this stage, I take Canelo. He's very sharp, powerful, probably more than any opponent Ward faced except Kovalev.

I'm not sure whether I'd respect Ward more for holding to his guns and staying retired or taking this fight.

FOH with that dumb shet.

Ward vs Wilder, Joshua, Ruiz all of them is more interesting than this fight though.

"a gut check in the 1st fight & beat the gas out of kovalev the 2nd fight"

Meaning he was getting to the body in the 1st fight. You count the early knock down as a win? Cuz I had S.O.G. damn near shutting kovalev out after that knock down.

Then in the 2nd fight he beat the gas out of him from the body shots. The body shots were apparent in BOTH fights.

S.O.G. beats him today.

That's ^ a lie.

It's not a lie.

But, reading it back, I can see that I was unclear.

*I* have zero interest in this fight.

Plenty of other people have interest in it. *I* think it's a ****** circus show.
