    Krusher could slam a vodka on the way to the ring and still kill Big Red

    There is absolutely no scenario that I can see in which Canelo beats Kovalev.

    He must have been on some serious diuretics to dry out so much to make 154lb for all those years. Look at him when he weighed in next to Amir Khan and then 24 hours later he looked like a completely different person. He looked like a tank.

    The whole Canelo thing is a charade, there's ALWAYS some type of caveat attached to his fights (weight, PEDS, judges, accommodating organisations etc) that I'll always truly struggle to give the guy his full props. The guy is an AWESOME boxer but just everything surrounding him leaves a sour taste for the discerning viewer.

    That's why I'd love to see him in with someone like Beterbiev, who by all accounts doesn't really walk that much above the 175lb limit so any 10lb IBF weight penalty can be met. Once Clenelo then realises he has a total MONSTER in front of him, we can then see that Mexico spirit he is always talking about.

    My bet is that Beterbiev leaves him semi-conscious within a few rounds.

    This fight may not happen if Yarde stops Kovalev.

    With the help of father time yes but Canelos joints are already failing him too due to years of ped abuse... Its a known side effect.

    Kovalev would beat Canelo like the red-headed step-child he is.

    well in answer to a fanboy on here yesterday who claimed that Clenbuterol does nothing as PED I looked it up and it's used as a weight cutting aid lol.
    For those with their head in the sand only PEDs have made jumping divisions possible and even before he tested for Clen I said it was obvious he was using something as Oscar would always talk about him needing to grow more which was such a weird thing to say about a grown ass man over twenty five,apparently Canelo defies normal logic and can carry on growing at will.
    Before they got caught they enjoyed trolling everyone about it,something known as duping delight.
    Great fighter but his behaviour to the WBC was truly awful,classic silver spoon stuff.
