Canelo never said that! ♂️ he was asked if he would fight Kovalev and his answer was the same generic answer that he always gives when asked about a fight!!! “ right now we are concentrating on this fight but in the future I’m always open to fights and options” canelo had the same answer when asked about a possible future opponent!!!! He never said I want Kovalev at 175 he said a possibility!!!
I do agree tho if you choose a fighter to be the favorite but the other fighter upsets the favorite you do have to give due credit.
