Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez zeroed in on September fight with Sergey Kovalev

[BIG GUNZ]

If he ever fights Kovalev it will be in Vegas at a catchweight below 175 and a morning weigh in to keep Kovalev from gaining too much weight. Count on it.

Yeah, it’s likely that’ll be the case & I’m sadly expecting it to be with some bs stipulations added. I wouldn’t fault Kovalev for taking the fight though since it’ll probably be his biggest payday.

It is odd this weight jumping all of a sudden. Kept hearing how he needed to grow into 160 to face Triple G when G was still prime-ish. But now weight classes don't seem to matter and is somehow hopping around like no big deal. I don't get it.

Maybe so. The most logical fights for him are GGG, Jermall or the WBO middleweight champ but maybe he can't make 160 comfortably now. I doubt he is the best fighter in the world at 168 or 175 but then I think he is only the 2nd best middleweight in the world.
