Sergey Kovalev v Saul Canelo Alvarez 2/11/19 Sky Sports/DAZN

[Primo Carnera]

Interested to hear how we think Kovalev would do against Pascal at this stage.

I would be more interested in Kov face the other 2 champs and get destroyed by them.

Why?

It will put pressure of Canelo to try and unify the titles.

How do you work that one out then?

More wishful thinking from my part but if Bivol or Beterbiev could destroy Kov more easily than Canelo did then it may put pressure on him to take on them instead.

No disrespect, but what the fuck are you on about?

[Master]

In essence what I am saying is that I want Canelo to get sparked out and comprehensively beat. This is the best chance that it could happen.

You and I want the same thing, Master. Unfortunately, Canelo being pressured to fight anybody isn't just a pipe dream. It's a pipe dream of colossal proportions. Canelo is (and has been for a while) beyond the reach of pressure to be exerted on mere mortal fighters. Remember... Canelo is Franchise Champion. That's a couple of notches away from Emperor of Boxing. Canelo can jump, skip, duck, cherry-pick, and marinate as he pleases. Only way he fights a peak, young, dangerous, motivated opponent is in someone's wet dreams. There's been a lot of money, time, effort, and shady dealings spent on making Canelo a Hollywood matinee idol, being groomed for canonization. You don't just carelessly pressure the Emperor to fight someone who could derail that gravy train.

canelo will face someone like munguia or ramirez next may
