    Don't act dumb, just don't come with the excuse that Kova is old or when he faces Canelo.

    Now? GGG might get to him.. his conditioning is a bit better, he's better up close & he's more durable.. peak for peak Kovalev UD.. Kovalev has lost that spring in his step now tho & looks more & more vulnerable as he aged.. whereas GGG is granite.. & ageing well.. albeit he too has lost a step..

    Um its not really happening and if it did there probs wouldn't be a catch weight nore some rehydration clause nore would it have to be held in Las Vegas with pre filled cards..

    See thats the reason why people like me don't rate Canelo.. Until he fights others on a even playing field then he won't get the respect he desearves..

    Against a pre-Ward Kovalev, GGG wouldn't stand a chance.

    Yeah, absolutely impossible match-up. Kovalev would give GGG a life altering beating. Better puncher, better stylist, better at controlling range, quicker, longer jab which is used better and more importantly, he's like 15+lbs bigger on top of all these advantages. GGG has the proverbial puncher's chance and as Ali said, "he got two chances, slim and none, and slim just left town".

    Even a shot to hell alcoholic Krusher with a 3-week training camp coming off of a grueling match, who couldn't make light heavyweight anymore, whose power had all but disappeared, who had to land love taps in an effort to not gas himself out, before the inevitable happened, arguably performed just as well against Canelo if not better than GGG did.:lol:

    Man I love Golovkin but peak Kovalev was a bit of a stylistic nightmare for him.
