Comments Thread For: Arum: Not Fair For Canelo To Fight Guy As Big As Beterbiev

[_Rexy_]

fight morning*. the second day weigh in is in the the morning. they can rehydrate to whatever afterwards

How much do you think you could comfortably hydrate to with a fight that night? You don't want to be pounding drinks after noon. If he weighs 185 at the weigh in after breakfast...the most I'd want to put on after that would be a couple more maybe? avoid feeling sluggish in the ring.

No it's not fair. Beterbiev is too likely to beat Canelo. It's not the weight. Was Amir Khan fair? Were all those times his opponents weight drained while he rehydrated 20 to 25 lbs? Was that fair?
They sucked every $$$ out of Canelo because he is Mexican and has (he's losing them) Mex fans

List all the times his opponents were weight drained since there are so many. JCC Jr. Okay who else?

Agreed, just wanted to point that out

If Canelo beats Kovalev, I think he is crazy enough to consider it.

Not in this fughin lifetime
What don’t you understand about calculated risks

Beterbiev is smaller than Kovalev.

Sir , you stand correct
Not body wise but in stature ,yes

Doubtful. More like a strong 5ft10 barefoot and 6ft tall in shoes.

Just stocky with a huge head and heavy bones.

Which makes a big difference in a boxing ring
Most of the time that will go in your favour

[DuckAdonis]

Load of bs. Kov is just as big. Difference is that Beterbiev is not as washed up.

So much hate for Canelo when he has one of if not the best Resum in Boxing right now smh. Hate him all you want the his accomplishments are undeniable.

If you guys want to hate you can bring up the old news about the drug tests he failed. Other than that, You gonna end up looking stupid.

exactly! There were plenty of people defending his fights vs Khan who couldn't even take punches at light weight, his weight advantages on fight night over guys like Cotto and Liam Smith were ridiculous, but now let's cry a river over him being the smaller guy in a weight division that he's choosing to try and claim a title in.

[Nash out]

If Canelo beats Kovalev, then goes and beats Beterbiev and then Bivol, that would make him one of the best ever for me. Would love to see him try it. Even if he beat Kov, then lost to Beterbiev, I'll fully admire his balls.

[Boxing Goat]

Oh shut up old man!

Kovalev is bigger than Beterbiev!

It's just that he's not as old and doesn't look as vulnerable as Kovalev does at the moment.

[Boxing Goat]

Beterbiev has the style and power to hurt Canelo, that's the problem.

He just wouldn't be able to sustain that for 12 rounds.

Arthur vs. Gassiev or Usyk would be interesting.

Fail, bigtime.
