Even though I think it’s pretty cool that Canelo will fight light heavy it’s not as impressive to fight Kovalev as it would of been pre Ward, it’s prefect time to fight a aging Kovalev. I would give him more credit if he fought 1 of the other young champions.
I guess that if canelo, or even amir kahn, had only fought the likes of monroe jr, ishida or el veneno rubio would have neither had any defeat nor doubious win. When you spend all your life opening tomato cans, if you are half decent, you usually win clearly. But then you cannot complain if people open threads in forums saying that you have no balls. Because you cannot blame people for saying the truth.
When it was pretty weak, also to a weight in which he started after a very long 160 reign against sub par opponents
Ward v GGG was booked as said by a HBO guy who’s name I don’t remember only for Ward to blow his knee out then move up to 175. Lara and his team never officially approached team GGG.....if you are truly a fan of boxing you should know this.
Which "monsters" has Canelo fought that GGG hasnt ?? Were fresh from jail Kirkland a threat for Canelo ?? was the ghost of Chavez jr a threat ?? Ive see heavy bags throw more punches than he did & Canelo STILL couldnt stop him If Canelo had fought GGG anywhere else but Vegas in a straight down the middle level fair fight & won legitimately I'd be the first to congratulate him & call him CHAMP but he didnt & he recently refused to do it again
Ward couldnt have made 168 let alone 164 when they were talking that fight. & Lara was really a 154 fighter. plus NEITHER made any serious offers
