I don't get how people use that line of logic. People go from being perfectly healthy to being diagnosed with something to dead in a shorter time. Not crazy to think that Kovalev was a different fighter in 9 months. They just don't like that it takes away from Canelo's victory.
Kovalev went from being a shot fighter after he lost to Alvarez then elite after he beat Alvarez then shot again before he fought Canelo.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. Dirrell, Jack and now Eleider Alvarez. Kovalev suddenly has a limp jab? Lol. Add to that he called fans ignoramuses who thought he could win. And he said he was surprised he lasted 11 rounds in his condition & that it was impossible to win. Kovalev didn't come to win.

We didn't see Kovalev do the rematch 10 weeks after, did we? The main argument is the quick turn around. It was 6 months between fights. You got ShoulderRoll over here talking about fighters used to fight once a week, so what's the big deal about fighting 10 weeks after a fight, as if fighters at that level, at that age, do that. It'd be one thing if it was a quick turn around for a tuneup fight, but not against someone like Canelo.
