If Canelo Alvarez beats Kovalev, would he be the best Mexican boxer of all-time?

I don't understand why this fight?


Nelo doesn't earn **** from it.

 

I wouldn't say that Pac was prime back then. Physically, yes, but he was still very rough around the edges and relied mostly on his power.

 

JCC's generation of fans is almost gone, so based on how fans view greatness from their era, I say it is possible that he could be viewed as an ATG Mexican.

Will history be kind to his loss to PBF? & when comparing him to Zarate, JCC, Sanchez, Arizemendi, Pintor to name a few, that's a tough class to join, let alone surpass.

 

he wont beat Kov even if he did get in the ring with him. It'd be like Thorin Oakenshield vs Gandalf. Well a younger years version of it.

 

I'd def rank him top 10.













After my real top 10 list.

 

No Way in this Solar System that this fight will happen. It's one of those Oscar DelaFISHNET's BS attention grabbing.

 

No. kovalev is way past prime.

 

Why not fight Beterbiev instead, with all the Chechen mafia in attendance? Imagine Oscar sitting next to Ramzan Kadyrov in the audience

He would become the greatest human being of all time.

 

Nah. Mexicans and chicanos have been doing this for a long ****ing time and have produced countless greats. For me to even give him the props that Sergei's name brings if one beats him, this fight would have had to take place at least 3-4 years ago. If he did fight Kov and beat him, I dont know if id be impressed, disgusted, or indifferent.

Kov is well into his slide from peak right now and has been for some time. That said, hes still a murderous puncher with GREAT skills and a significant height and reach advantage. But what Kovalev would show up for this fight? I think him taking this would be a cash out and hed be blackout drunk throughout camp and during his ring walk. Mentally hes not the same guy that he was before Ward.

And if Canelo moves up to LHW and beats a still very good but still sharply on the decline Kovalev, come the **** on!!! Its almost impossible for me to NOT LIKE a Mexican or Chicano fighter, but I cant stand this clown. If this ginger dickhead ever bathes -- its solely in corruption. I wouldnt even watch this live even though it provides me with a good chance to see ginger boy get stalled out on live TV around the world or stream or whatever. I can't stand and hate him THAT much. Even if Kovalev decapitated Canelo, I wouldnt even watch the replay. I hate him so much now I'm just indifferent.

For a fighter to rightly be in consideration as Mexico's GOAT boxer, they shouldnt need so much corruption on their side to win. Plenty have gone before Canelo and threw their stake in the ground on talent and skill alone. Dont disrespect the real G's.

 

People seem to have this idea that Canelo intends to fight even this past-prime version of Kovalev on a fair footing.

Newsflash: no, he's not.

IF the fight ever happens it is almost guaranteed that he will catchweight Kova and dehydrate him to a point where he is no longer effective. Think about it. Canelo has dried out virtually every other opponent that has some sort of size advantage on him. He did it to Jacobs, Chavez Jr, tried to get GGG to 155 and heck, he even felt the need to catchweight Rocky Fielding. 99% guarantee that any fight with Kovalev will be at T-mobile with special judges at a weight that renders Kovalev useless.

 

I'm waiting for him to go up and outbox an weight drained Ruiz Jnr for the heavyweight title
