    -The guy was nearly knocked sparked out

    - in his Instagram he is still all marked up from the fight

    - he’s 36, and will literally have no time off to recover

    - by the time he has everything in place he will have around 5/6 weeks to train

    I can not believe the speed at which this fight has been made, particularly with the drawn out GGG negotiations. This is the last time we see Krusher. He’s paid his dues and is finally getting his pot of gold.

    You know what Kov will have ZERO absolutely ZERO ring rust. In and out of the ring is a good thing.
    I think this is a real bad fight for Canelo ESPECIALLY if there is no CW

    Canelo ought to be bowed to from the lot of boxing fans for this one (just a long line of top guys he has faced but jumping two divisions... to face Kovalev?!), especially his doubter/haters/detractors.

    I hope to God that this backfires SPECTACULARLY on Oscar and Clenelo and Kovalev knocks him spark out.

    I agree, he won't have time to get out of shape and Oscars kid will be the one who hasn't fought in a while

    A lot of the old time greats did it, against other greats, so you know they were taking some punishment. Made for some sharp fights though

    I have a feeling this is going to hilariously backfire on Oscar and his boy. If Canelo thought GGG’s jab was nasty... Lol

    But he has been juicing. Hard. Hence why he dropped out of VADA 365 testing.

    Credit to Canelo for challenging himself but this is a bridge to far. I'll take that +3-400 on Kovalev thank you very much

    Exactly they knew that this is the fight they wanted at the date they wanted Canelo has been chemically prepped for this fight.

    I'm sure that's a scenario they have considered. Its a risk fighters chasing glory take.

    Other fighters fight unranked fighters.
