Let's just call it how it is: Canelo is only fighting Kovalev because he is old

[Ray*]

This is what I said yesterday, there is a reason why Canelo cancel everyone else and waited on the outcome of this fight. And I would not be shocked if his team doesn’t insist on a catchweight neither, after watching Kovalev this week they might not bother with the draining processes.

Typical ggg fans for you,they think cashcow fighters should face "prime" opponents who are completely untested/unproven & don't provide name recognition & whom these jokers will just discredit anyways if they did,& Ironically they only hold Canelo to this standard & nobody else, according to them Wilder must be old & washed up because hes soon 34 .

If Canelo suddenly says hes going to face Andrade/Boo next they'll say he ducked kov as they were saying before Canelo made him his 1st true payday offer in his career,these are the same few who were decrying Pacquiao as a cherrypick opponent for Thurman at age 40,the same who have no complaints about whom anyone besides Canelo fights.

Its insane that if a fighter like Canelo fights Charlo/Andrade next they'll instantly discredit them as opponents like they did Jacobs the absolute best possible opponent at the time,& it's even more rediculous considering Canelo is already the rightful undisputed at mw,that pos WBO trinket andrade has is irrelevant,to top it off Canelo would be fighting 2 killers back to back & 3 in 4 fights in 3 weightclasses,& yet they don't say sht about whom the rest are fighting that make Kovalev look even more dangerous in comparison,& nelos literally the only fighter facing so many top names so often...

I have Canelo #1 p4p but yeah sure keep calling me a Canelo hater. Idiot

[Larry the boss]

Who should he fight instead?

[Lopez_Boxing]

So? Kov is still dangerous and holds power, weight and height advantages. This is a bad troll thread

[EDDIE SPERM]

Wouldnt he fight @ 175 for da first time & with no rehydration clauses tho?

I never called you anything besides a ggg fan,but if anyone disagrees with your illogical argument then I must be an idiot. you obviously expect an echo chamber of ppl agreeing with these nonsensical arguments you put forward that I just disproved with logic & common sense. But in order to see that you have to actually want to see the bigger picture. Canelo is facing the #1-2 lhw champ at his own weightclass whom is younger than ggg,& hes facing the 3rd killer in 4 fights who has a very high ko percentage,the possible alternatives are completely unknowns that bring nothing to the table including ggg whom would instantly be discredited as old or as getting robbed if he faced him next. If Canelo faced Bivol his haters would say he ducked Kovalev &/or that Bivol was another unproven hypejob bum. If he faced Andrade/Charlo they'd say hes ducking Kovalev & wasn't serious or got scared by kovs last ko. Theres literally no upside to anyone Canelo can face,if all else fails his haters revert to regurgitating prior excuses like Clen

Kovalev is still one of the best, if not the best at 175. If Canelo faced Kovalev, just as he is with no special weight restriction, it would be a bold move.

bottom line...

I want Canelo not to drain Kovalev and have a fair fight with someone for once without being up on the judges scorecards before the fight starts...that's what I want.

[DuckAdonis]

Who should he fight instead?

Golovkin trilogy
Andrade
Saunders
Callum Smith
Bivol
I'm perfectly fine with Kovalev if he doesn't drain the old man (only made this thread to clarify why he wants Kov now)

I agree with that but this thread is to clarify why he is fighting Kovalev now. And we all know he probably is going to drain Kov...let's just be real.
