    Finally someone telling it like it really is and it's none other than Morales so I'm not suprised.
    I've basically been spouting the exact thing since this fight was announced and even more so when Canelo turned a deaf ear to Bivol.
    Check out the article over at BS you have to scroll down a little bit.

    Speaks the truth, Canelo is a cheat and I'm routing for Kovalev.
    Canelo's genuinely viewed top 5 wins are

    GGG 2
    Jacobs
    Lara
    Cotto
    Trout"

    *Toss up between Mosley and Trout.

    So that's 2 past prime guys, plus Kovalev and Mayweather (who are probably the 2 best he's fought) are/was also both easily past prime.
    So of his 7 most notable fights, 4 are past prime, and it's arguable that it's 5.
    That's pretty bad (or good) timing. Morales is spot on here.

    @robert ungurean, you mentioned Bivol? I agree that he's completely ignored the other LHW champs, but how do you see that fight going if Canelo miraculously wins tonight?

    I was going to post yesterday that I didn't think this fight was going to be on the level & then thought better of it because I thought it sounded a bit conspiracy theory. But it's already not on the level before it's started. We can only guess at what other shenanigans are going to occur at fight time. I see people have noted how jovial Kov has been in the build up, even taking selfies with Canelo, I don't like the smell of that at all. Has he sold the win for a fat pay cheque?

    Straight talking from Morales. Right in the gut.

    And that weighing scale was likely rigged.

    Canelo puts ginger boxers to shame. If only Fitzsimmons was here to sort him out.

    Bivol offered to step in for Kovalev on Mexican Independence day but Kovalel was committed to Yarde. Bivol offered to step in at either 168 or 175 whatever suited Canelo but all you heard back from team Canelo was crickets. I really hope Kov beats the hell out of him but I just dont see this version doing it. Just too far gone IMO. Man I hope I'm wrong though

    Strange when DAZN started comparing Kovalev to LaLonde to promote the fight.

    They did? I don't have DAZN.

    What i do know is Kovalev is better and more dangerous than Donny and Canelo isn't imposing a catchweight on Kovalev. Ray brought Donny down to super middle where he won his 175 pound belt.

    Also, Canelo at best got a draw in Lara and GGG 2

    They promoted it as similar to SRL and Lalonde with Canelo being SRL (obviously) and so making Kovalev Lalonde.

    Also when people said that Kovalev was a lot better than Lalonde they replied with either eye emojis or saying that Lalonde was a great champion.

    Of course he hs .. he is old, weathered , far past his best, the worst of the three light heavyweight champs, vulnerable to the body and just coming off a brutal fight without enough time to heal .. it's a big cash out payday.
