Even after tonight where kovalev almost got stopped by yarde. I still think kovalev has enough to beat canelo 1. Kovalevs jab and reach this would cause all kinds of problems for canelo he always falls victim to jabs Lara, golovkin , Mayweather Kovalevs jabs is Probably the best in the business today 2. Power :kovalev has concussive power in his jab or right hand weight classes exist for a reason I do believe any light heavyweight with decent power can stop kovalev Canelo is no light heavyweight and has never stopped top competition 3. Gas tank : while kovalev does have his own problem with his own gas tank I do believe canelo with a history of badass gastank himself. Would have a worst gas tank at a higher weight class that he has not yet accumulated too. 4. Now forgive me golovkin fanboys if this hurts your feelings I think kovalev does everything better than golovkin does The Jab. The power The speed And the killer instinct I do believe golovkin won the first fight against canelo and I feel canelo won the second one ^ With those fights I believe kovalev will succeed where golovkin failed 5. Smelling blood in water killer instinct Kovalev is a natural killer if he sees you hurt while you are gassing or on the ropes he goes for the kill by any means necessary When golovkin had canelo on the chase in the first fight and had him on the ropes Kovalev will go for the kill if it comes to that 6. Golovkin stunned canelo in their last fight I think kovalev will finish the job if it comes to that Who do you guys think wins this fight Kovalev or canelo Note : let's try to keep this thread about canelo and kovalev not about who won golovkin or canelo If you have a different opinion then fine but dont ge butthurt. Use examples from the golovkin fights if you feel free too but try and keep it Kovalev vs Canelo By the way I think kovalev stops canelo late due to canelos gas tank and body not accumulated at 175 Or by decision I do think kovalev can make it to where he beats canelo on the cards even in vegas lol Summary I think current kovalev beats. Canelo even in vegas on the scorecards even juiced to the gills Who do you guys think wins this fight??
I think at this stage canelo beats him , prob stops him and we know canelo likes his opponents extra anejo , so by the time they fight Kovalev will be even more shot.
Great thread and great short but sweet title. Yeah, Kovalev dos a number on him, now watch Oscar and Canelo get skittish and claim Kovalev has nothing left, it's a pointless fight for them now. It'll be a slick as goose **** spin and duck.
Prime Kovalev would beat Clenelo like a red-headed stepchild, hopefully shot Vodka-swilling alcoholic Kovalev will still have enough left in the tank to beat the Clebuterol out of his ass and then earn Money Mayweather coin for doing the same to the little ginger puke in the rematch in front of his home fans in Guadalajara.
Appreciate your views and I love both kovalev and golovkin but. Golovkin has better gas tank better punch resistance and I still think golovkin has a better jab. Kov and golovkin use there jabs in different ways though so it’s more of what you prefer but I still feel golovkin’s jab is more authoritative. also on the power aspect I think golovkin matches up well to kovalev p4p. Kovalev he has that awesome right hand but golovkin has more of an arsenal and I think he naturally has more mustard on every punch he throws kovalev in his prime used to put peoples lights out with a one two though but golovkins combinations better and again let’s not down play how many punches golovkin has in his arsenal he’s also a better body puncher. Boxing ability wise I think golovkin is more the more well rounded but yes kovalev is lighter on his feet still.
what dance84 said. plus, canelo barely hurts fellow middleweights! he will be eating kovalev's jab on the way in towards that body.
I'm not so sure. Speed and body punches could cause Kovalev some problems plus it's always very difficult to get the decision against Canelo. Good match up.
Krusher still has another good one left in him. He’ll have probably the best camp he’s ever had do to the new trainer and desire to finish up his career on a high note. Sergey will whoop Canelo’s ass with a steady dose of jabs and stop him late.
