Canelo and the people behind him are not dumb gents. He didn't ask for the best at 175, he asked to fight Kovalev. Just like Pac asked for Thurman. Kovalev's skills have been on display for a while now and his flaws are glaring, Canelo is well aware that Kovalev's flaws line up with his strengths, He fully intends to knock Kovalev out and it wouldn't surprise me if he did. The only down side I see for Canelo is that Kovalev might be faster than what Canelo is anticipating and that could be a problem for him.
Since he's not a woman and hasn't had testicular cancer to my knowledge, I've always assumed this to be the case.
Probably, because that's what always happens. Still I rate all 3 above current Kova, like I mentioned before, and also believe Clenelo would have the most issues with Bivol and Beterbiev. Kovalev brings the most prestige and is the "easiest" option atm, so a logical step.
Not a fan of Golden boy's BS, but Canelo is a real G and he seems to be afraid of nobody I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see him try a fight at Cruiser. He really has some balls! I would like to see GGG show the same ambition.
Exactly! He fought GGG twice, albeit close. Now Canelo is fighting Kovalev. GGG wouldn't even go out of his division! GGG had a chance to fight Ward or Kovalev to prove himself GREAT. I don't see how anybody rates GGG higher than Canelo right now. Canelo has the bigger balls PERIOD. As far as I can remember, GGG was calling out smaller guys like Mayweather and Canelo. For the record, I don't think Canelo beats this faded version of Kovalev. As others have said, he still has plenty left in the tank.
Have balls? Canelo was always a huge and could easily fight at 175. If it wasn't for all the catchweight he actually might be a very liked boxer.
I know canelo has done a lot of things that make people not like him like all the drugs stuff and catch weights but this sort of fight without a catch weight and I’m guessing no rehydration clause shows that canelo wants to be a great and that should be something we all respect regardless of how we feel about canelo
Wow you have the balls to type this? Who in hell ggg is fighting? The triple bum ia the biggest coward
What does Golovkin have to do with anything I typed? I'm discussing Canelo. I don't even like Golovkin (a quick search with my name and Golovkin can prove how critical I am of his resume) so I'm not sure what point you're attempting to prove
