Comments Thread For: Just How Dangerous Is The Kovalev Fight For Canelo?

[Robi13]

Normally you'd be right but Canelo is like a ferrari. An anabolic ferreari, allegedly. Now GGG and Jacobs may or may not also be on PEDs, but Jacobs has SNAC, and even if they aren't, they've lived the life so their bodies have been able to reach some approximation of that level. GGG may not be a ferrari but when you look at his body, the muscle and strength and health is almost to the level, from appearances, as Canelo as achieved allegedly with steroids.

Kovalev on the other hand looks more... normal. See I dont know enough about this to comment. maybe its just at 175 guys naturally don't look as cut. On the other hand I have seen Pascal, Browne, Gvozdyk, and a few others have that ferrari look to them. And wouldn't you know, both Pascal and Browne have been basically impossible to knock out even when hit with amazing punches (Pascal since joining Memo, I mean).

Yarde also had the ferrari look, and Kovalev dealt with him. Appearances are deceiving. But that was on a full camp, Kovalev only had 6 weeks VADA not like with Canelo where Canelo only has 6 weeks but Kovalev has the same 6 weeks plus the Yarde 6 weeks... and Yarde is not as fast as Canelo, in fact we have no idea how good Yarde is.

If someone could actually determine who would win, Yarde vs Canelo, and Elieder Alvarez vs Canelo, at 175, then we'd have a better gauge of this. All I know is Canelo looks like an anabolic explosive ferrari, and Kovalev looks old and out of shape by comparison. The definition isn't there. The explosive fast twitchiness is not there.

I see what you mean.. I guess we shall see, too many variables as in any boxing match. Will canelo handle the power? Will Kovalev keep canelo on the outside? Will canelo be able to get inside and work the body? Will Kovalev withstand the body shots? Does canelo get fatigued with the added weight or does it serve him well? Idk man I’m getting more exited about the fight. It should be fun

Do you ever talk boxing? I get ZERO insight from you? In fact I lose brain cells reading your comments. At the rate you post I’m going to be full RTARD like you in a few weeks

You have been full RTARD for the whole time I’ve been on the site, you’re in denial about everything

Canelo untested at 168 or 175

Going up a weight class is fraught with danger and uncertainty. Most times a boxer goes up in weight, it doesn't end up well:
- especially if it's more than 1 weight classes
- especially if they didn't establish themselves at the higher weight class

Mikey Garcia didn't fare well. Amir Khan not at all.
Jeff Horn thought that knocking out Anthony BUMdine was a good test for him at the next weight class (catch weight) until he ran into a very average but motivated Zerafa.

If Fielding was Canelo's only test at 168lbs, it wasn't a really good one.

Now going to 175lbs and facing a champion, albeit fading, ageing, etc. It's still not the same proposition.

This is a VERY risky fight for Canelo. Whatever his team 'sees' it has to be with 20/20 vision. Otherwise he can be in trouble.

Canelo will learn quickly that calling out Kovalev was the worst decision of his career... Too much Power, a definitive size and weight advantage, and that effective jab will keep him away... he might have his times in the fight, but the outcome is written in the sky if Kovalev brings his "A" game...

Kovalev is a tough fight for any LHW

he is a very tough fight for a middleweight

the critics are just spastic casual-fans

We may see one final big performance from Krusher

[Bronx2245]

Very good point!

I think the thing here is GGG fanboys vs Canelo fanboys, they will try to discredit their opposing rival by anymeans.

If you ask me honestly I like both fighters, both are great fighters and both are already HoF'ers. I think GGG won the first fight and I think Canelo won the second fight, should a 3rd fight happen? I'd watch it but at this point in time I just don't see an older GGG beating Canelo, still I'd like a 3rd to settle the score.

About the kovalev fight? it's a great fight! not an awesome fight nor a super fight, still a very good fight.

Kovalev is not the same anymore, has body problems, not the krusher he used to be, still a LHW Champ, with a great coach, heavy handed and very skilled.

A MW moving up to fight him at the full 175 is remarkable, anyone saying this is a cherry pick is just a hater, so don't pay attention to that.

That's exactly my point! Thank You!

that is what I am seeing over this...

dudes are on the other thread, insisting that Canelo is not jumping TWO divisions to face Kovalev... because, Canelo is a SMW...

... despite the fact that Canelo weighed 160 in his last fight

97,000 idiots are running around with their panties showing

like I said earlier...

Kovalev is a tough fight for any LHW

but... he is a VERY tough fight for a middleweight

the critics are just spastics
