Being very serious. Are you?
I know every Euro fighter is ridiculously overrated here it’s comical and Briedis is nothing special in a horrible division. Now if it was a Holyfield type CW era than that’s another story but Breidis hahahahahahahaha hahhaha.
Yes I would easily favor canelo to beat him.Comment

The Kovalev win was a bit impressive.
But mind you, Kov is quite chinny and rans out of gas even at his prime. Of course he wasnt in his prime when Canelo fought him.
Now Breidis while as tall as Kov isnt chinny, is definitely stronger than Kov having KOed with one punch a real HW (Charr), and has really decent boxing skills.
The question is how much low in eight will Canelo allow Breidis to weigh inside the ring.Comment

Briedis is deceptively skilled & one of the most complete fighters in the world imho with no real weakness. He does everything to a very high standard.
He can fight at all ranges and adjusts really well. He can pressure, box off the backfoot. He digs the body well and is very good counterpuncher who can fight the full 12 rounds.
Kovalev even at his peak was just a guy with a good one-two and decent feet (he's not anywhere near as dynamic as he was a few years back) who is only really effective if you stay on the end of his jab. He never, even at his peak had a very good chin and recuperative abilities & his stamina is awful.
Kovalev got KTFO by Eleider Alvarez who fights quite a lot like Briedis only he's half his size, not anywhere near as skilled multi-dimensional and hits like a girl in comparison. If Kovalev fought Briedis he'd get slept very abruptly.Comment

Canelo couldn't even beat Jacobs or GGG easily or exactly convincingly for that matter. What I mean is he didn't really show he was above and beyond them. He barely edged them at best. Now he's going to easily beat Briedis?
Briedis ain't no chinny, shopwork Kovalev who was never the same after Ward and had developed a drink problem.
Ain't no MW/SMW/LHW for that matter beating him and the only CW capable is arguably the best CW in history & now at HW. Even then it was neck & neck.
Canelo is a great, skilled fighter but he's way too small and has 7 good rounds in him at best and that's without the extra weight and fighting a much bigger, harder hitting, physical fighter than he's ever encountered and that likely includes in the gym also.Comment

That last few post prove my point about every euro fighter here being ridiculously overrated lol

Hows the clear #1 CW in the world the one being overrated? Maybe you're underrating him or overrating Canelo and his chances. Canelo who has only fought 25 full lbs south the once and that vs a heavily faded fighter at that.
There are weight divisions for a reason.
A 25lb jump is monsterous and very few fighters in history have done it and I'm not sure any have that were as maxed out as Canelo is.Last edited by dan_cov; 09-30-2020, 09:37 PM.Comment
