    Canelo fans are adamant kovalev wasn't finished so how was a middleweight 1/4 to win against the light heavyweight champion of the world?

    Then why did he lose 7 to 8 rounds against an inferior fighter before scoring a come from behind KO?

    Are you willing to admit kovalev was finished though?

    Ah, so... you have no real answer and have to resort to pettiness.... I see. If he's sooooo much better, why was size such an issue? It wasn't against Fielding?

    Because Canelo is so much better than Kovalev, since he went life and death with Golovkin at middleweight, and lost two fights with him, but his judges saved him from back to back humiliating defeats.

    that post was made in february. i think it explains what i think.
    if you can find anyone, anywhere, suggesting a fight against kovalev was a good idea, anytime before i made that post, i will let you pick my avatar for a month.
    im usually steps ahead of most. no brag, just fact.

    Second time he's needed come from behind KO's against glass jawed cherry picks. How could anyone forget Canelo dropping 4 to 5 rounds to a former Lightweight in Khan.:sisi1

    If Kovalev was finished he wouldn't have won 7-8 rounds like @CST80 suggests.

    No, I'm saying is was finished. That was literally the worst I've ever seen Kovalev look, bar none, and he still was schooling Canelo.

    Okay, Mr. Mikey Garcia sees something. Shut your mouth old man. You make about 10 predictions per year and get half of them wrong. I have a faaaaaar better track record than you.
