    Also I predicted the moment that Golovkin had a fight date that Canelo would "find" somebody to fight :deal:

    I always thought you were a bigger Kovalev fan than those two?

    Come on now if camel put a rehydration clause on career middleweight Jacobs of course he’s going to put one on kovalev.

    Props to Canelo for daring to be great this will not be an easy fight for him.

    You think the 10lb clause is BS?

    The same clause IBF mandates?
    Kovalev had to oblige by that rule for many years, and there were no issues then.

    Canelo is fighting Kovalev, Sergey Kovalev and you’re complaining he’s not fighting Gvodzyk, Beterbiev or Bivol? Kovalev is the biggest name and by far the most proven out of those guys. Looked great last time out against Alvarez.

    He was 15 when he turned pro as a welter, he’s gonna be a tiny LHW and will give up a hell of a lot of size against Kovalev.

    I really don’t understand what there is to hate Canelo about taking this fight, this is the definition of daring to be great. Boxing fans are a strange bunch.

    But it's the same as what does IBF mandates.
    So it's fine for IBF to require it, but not Alvarez?

    Do you think fishnets and co will honestly take the fight without trying to gain some sort of cheap advantage? Get real. That's the name of the game with Clenelo. Only his fanboys and proxy supporters like to pretend otherwise.

    But the IBF, under whom Kovalev fought numerous times, also mandates this. So it's OK if a sanctioning body does it, but not when Alvarez does it?

    Trying to play the equivalency game aside. Why do you think Team Clenelo does it? Its a clear tactical move to attempt and gain advantage. Let's not pretend otherwise.

    No **** it's for a reason.
    But again, why is it such a big deal for Alvarez to ask it, and not the IBF?
    10lb re-hydration clause is a good thing and a hell of a lot better than a catchweight.

    We all know if we are honest that if Canelo/Kovalev takes place in Vegas all Canelo has to do is last the distance & he's got the "win." Ginger wont fight anywhere else against a dangerous opponent

    Do you think IBF's 10lb rehydration rule is BS?
