    I agree AB will be a favourate but "not durable even against mediocre punchers" he took Pascals punchs pretty well & that guy ain't no can...

    Yeah, Canelo is known for waiting for dangerous opponents to get older, but I think he had to take a very dangerous fight, cuz proud red head cant go back, 160 lbs nothing here for him, 168 division is one of the weakest so fighting the best ( resumewise )LHW who might seen better days seems like a legit option and he gonna get huge credit for a win.

    Personally i still think it was a miscalculation, everybody is talking about body shots, but 154 and 160 lbs fighters could take his body shots, i cant imagine Kovalev who gonna be over 180 lbs fight night folding like a paper sheet from his punches. Every time we have seen Kov getting badly hurt it was from head shots actually, but i cant see small Canelo landing much here. I see Alvarez taking many hard jabs and stop fighting agressive to get SD from judges, but Kovalev still have power in later rounds. Kovalev by KO in 10 round.

    Beterbiev is not a fighter I like to watch but if he fights Kovalev and that the odds is right I might bet a decent amount on Beterbiev. I think Beterbiev wins. Kovalev is a fighter that likes to work at range. And who is the most aggressive fighter in the LHW with power? Beterbiev. The style gives him the edge. If I were Kovalev, after my KO victory on Canelo I would rather ask Mayweather or Pacquiao to move up to the LHW division. lol I still can't beleive the Canelo Kovalev fight is happening.

    Y, its strange, looks like he cant take some specific punches, like maybe temple shots? And i am not really wrong with my statement: Boone, Ward and Alvarez arent big punchers.

    Canelo has faced pretty much every fighter people said he never would.

    His career opposition to date astounds me tbh.

    Yarde is a muppet compared to Beterbiev. Beterbiev has more power, higher ring IQ, and a much better gas tank.

    they both want each other. Kovalev's confidence is probably higher right now than it has ever been. just watch his interviews, he's smiling ear to ear, not drinking, staying in perfect shape... With his new jab output, he could keep Beterbiev at bay much better than Gvozdyk. Kova is in the best spirits hes ever been in.

    Kova is shot. In his prime he would have been a favorite to beat beterbiev, now he gets stopped inside 5

    Current Kova vs current Beterbiev probably isn't even very competitive.
    I really hope he FTKO Alvarez though.

    I think Kovalev woudl actually win against Beterbiev whom I do not regard highly. To me, Kovalev is also a slight favourite against Canelo, bu the again there is the issue with the judges in a Canelo fight

    krusher does not know the meaning of the word duck. But I do not think he can krush Beefy, unless you mean the stuff in Canelo's body.
