    Would y'all say that KT had enough time to recover? And Thurman is 6 years younger than Kovalev.

    :lol:

    A more apt example would be, imagine Thurman starting camp for Crawford 3 weeks after the brutal Josesito near scare.

    Nah. Josesito hurt him w/ a right hand in one round, but Keith survived and won 9 or 10 rounds overall. Pacquiao put a sustained beating on him from rounds 1 to 6 and then had him hurt really badly in the 10th.

    But yes, perhaps you're right. Kovalev was almost taken out in 1 round and Thurman was almost taken out in 1 round.

    I wonder why you never brought that up before the fight.

    They knew Kov has been underpaid throughout his career and has legal woes hanging over his head and badly needs the money and that if they presented him with a take it or leave it offer with no concessions he couldn't turn it down.

    If Thurman's 6 years younger than Kovalev, and still needed nearly 6 months to prepare for Pac, then it shouldn't be difficult for you to understand why a 36 year old Kovalev looked so weak against Canelo.

    Yarde ruined Kovalev.
    That was Groves-Callum Smith all over again. Krusher was limp bodied from Yarde

    Told you Kov was going down. I think hes done. Do you think he should keep fighting or retire?

    what exactly do you believe they do the first half of camp? which part of that half, do you believe gets compromised by starting it on 3 weeks rest. what is he losing by, lets say, not waiting 2 more months?
