In what round will Canelo stop Kovalev?

[powerpuncher]

So this is boxing in the Canelo era. Canelo will pick you out only if you're beatable (right time, right conditions, etc). You're obviously honored to take the fight, and will come away a richer man for it. Rinse and repeat.

The WBC periodically churns out another belt... and adds to Canelo's collection.

I miss the good ol' days.

Money ruins everything. I get that it’s great that these fighters get paid their worth, but it dilutes the product. Don’t get me wrong, this is a good fight in and of itself. I have absolutely no problem with the fight with none of the shenanigans considered.

I just don’t like the obvious (well obvious to some people) cherry pick of an older opponent, who has name recognition, and that you have a favorable style match up. Also, it’s a high risk low reward fight.

Again, I’m not against the fight in theory, but I’m against Canelo picking the specific fight in a specific weight while there are at least 7-8 fighters I would rather him fight between middleweight and light heavyweight.

I'm hoping you mean it's a high risk low reward fight for Kovalev... and everything else is exactly right. Also, I'm among those people who see the obvious cherry picking. It's nauseating... especially when done by such a high profile fighter.

I would respect this guy a lot more if he would just throw caution to the wind and say f*ck it... I'm gonna fight the best... at their peak... at their weight. I'm gonna earn the lofty throne they've carved out for me out of pure gold.

But if it hasn't happened more than 50 fights into his pro career, it'll never happen.

This ain't boxing. It's pageantry.

Oops. I meant to say a low risk high reward fight for Canelo 😁
