    Canelo and Rocky are the same size!

    Actually, I think Canelo's bigger!

    P4P Tyson was also more skilled than Spinks too.

    A prime Kov would have destroyed Beterbiev and Rocky would have had a harder time v Kov than he would have with Beterbiev.

    Rocky wouldn't have much of a hard time with either but I disagree, Beterbiev breaks prime Kova

    If Kov pumped the jab the way he did v Canelo then he would last longer v Rock than Canelo would have the way he fought yesterday, lol.

    Kov`s offense is far more skilled than that of Beterbiev.

    I disagree, Beterbiev is a master of infighting and bullying, much moreso than Kovalev. He's a genius of breaking a man down

    He`s too easy to hit and has never had to get past a jab like Kov`s, Canelo has a far better defense than Beterbiev.

    Actually he's deceptively hard to hit, if you watch the Gvozdyk fight he's usually moving and has a solid guard, Gvozdyk mostly lands on Beterbiev's guard in their fight.

    Canelo had more trouble hitting Kov for the first 6 rounds yesterday than he would v Beterbiev who has never been inwith a skilled fighter like Canelo, Kov is harder to hit than Beterbiev.

    Kov gets too shaken up by punches that don’t look to have tons of power.
