If they are banking on Kovalev being better than Beterbiev... they are wrong
I don't think they will go for that fight and I don't even expect Canelo to go for it. Beterbiev is in his prime, probably even a harder puncher than Kovalev, much more physical of a fighter and he fukks you up from any range, it's not like being on the inside with him would be a breather, he can knock you down even in a clinch...
If Beterbiev didn't respect Gvozdyk's power afterall and was able to ragdoll him on the inside, imagine what would he do to a natural 160er...
Canelo is ballsy af even for going up against a past prime Kovalev at 175 he should steer clear of Beterbiev.
But let's see how he does with Kovalev first, the only case I can see him fighting Beterbiev if he seriously whoops Kovalev, like if it's unexpectedly easy, not even competitive.
