Perhaps if Thurman hadn't looked like trash in his comeback fight, then perhaps. People will point to Kov being on the decline but his performance against Yarde was damn near perfect, with the exception of one 1 round. Thurman got splattered throughout against an absolute journeyman and he was an enormously overwhelming favorite going in. The Kov vs Yarde odds were much closer. (not to mention he was a highly touted unbeaten ko artist)

    Inspite of typing all that, call it how you see it! Canelo for me
    Thurman handily beat Josesito Lopez who might be a journeyman but isn’t a punching bag.

    PAC had two awesome fights against Broner and Thurman whom he both dominated.

    Keith was the prime, undefeated welterweight champ being called out by Spence and Crawford both. Manny got the fight and picked him apart.

      Pacman, at 40 years old beating up on juniors... THAT is FOTY. (all while being a freaking SENATOR!)
      ... That's exactly what Ward told him to do...

        ... and I say that as a huge Kovalev fan.

        If you watch his social media, particularly in native Russian, he tells you... "I did what I had to do to take care of my family."

        Besides, now that Canelo dropped the belt... Kovalev is likely to fight for it once again, and then likely unify with Bivol.

            ... I also used to like Kovalev, but the guy is badly shot since some years ago...

                LOL. I think Tom Bradley was the mayor of Los Angeles a long time ago.

                  It's hard to argue against Pacquio's performance against both Adrien Broner and Keith Thurman at 40 years old but as far as Canelo is concerned; Hell no.

                  First, he ducked Golovkin and barely outpointed Daniel Jacobs in a very boring fight in which many boxing fans believed was close and could have gone either way. Then subsequently was stripped of that same title he had won from Jacobs anyway; Which made that victory both null and void.

                  Then lastly, he cherry picked a shot, washed up, past his prime, beyond his physical peak and diminished Light Heavyweight in Sergei Kovalev who had been exposed and on the decline since the second Andre Ward fight.
                  ??? Huh??? Barely beat Jacobs? Man he looked way better against Jacobs then GGG did.


                  And this dope Brags about beating Broner and puts down Kovalov???

                  Wow!!! I bet you $100 Kovalov will be a LHW champ again by this time next year???

                  We get it? You HATE Canelo and think he’s the worst boxer EVER!!! Yet you STFU when it’s time for him to fight and won’t put money where your mouth is. Jacobs, ggg.

                  I’ll fkn bet you $500 he beats Saunders when they fight next or Smith???

                  Step the *** up or shut up!

                  And I’m pretty sure Canelo fights GGG in Sept. bet $1k he beats him. Give me good odds and I’ll take KO. Either way like Bread and Dougie wrote they think Canelo HURTS your GOD in a 3rd fight. Need link???

                      I can’t take anyone serious if they think beating Broner is a GREAT accomplishment. You make it sound like Broner is heading to the boxing HOFame???
