Juan Manuel Marquez fueled his argument thatSaul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez prefers to face opponents who are easy to beat or with whom he can face some kind of advantage to protect his brand. For this reason, ‘Dinamita’, one of Canelo’s harshest critics, said that his next opponent, the IBF 168-pound champion, “is nobody in boxing”.

However, Canelo refused to face him last year, as the mandatory challenger of the IBF and preferred to be stripped of his undisputed title, arguing that he was not big enough to give him a chance
