Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, is preparing for his next fight, which will be against Terence Crawford, but while that is happening, statements about this from former pugilist Oscar de la Hoya continue to intensify
Undoubtedly, this has drawn a lot of attention to Canelo Alvarez, which has already earned several reactions through social networks, especially because it is revealed some time after what he experienced in his fight against Scull in Saudi Arabia, thanks to his spectacular agreement with Turki Al-Sheikh.
And while De La Hoya has not directly attacked Canelo Alvarez on this occasion, the reality is that it seems that the clash is now against ‘Bud’ Terence Crawford, especially with what both have been saying in recent days.
Terence Crawford responds to Oscar de la Hoya’s criticism ahead of Canelo Alvarez fight
Thus, Terence Crawford wanted to respond to Oscar de la Hoya, who said a few days ago that Canelo Alvarez will take him out of the ring when they face each other on September 13 in their fight from Las Vegas.
“You know? When you see Oscar De La Hoya changing his tone and his opinion every week, it’s hard to believe anything he says. He says this about Canelo and the next minute he says something else, but that’s why we fight, so we can see if he’s going to take me out of the ring. On September 13 everyone’s questions will be answered,” Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford told FightHub TV.
What had De la Hoya said about Crawford against Canelo?
It is worth remembering the words of Oscar De la Hoya, who recently spoke about the Canelo vs Crawford fight: “It’s ‘the biggest fight of the decade’, I mean, for a purist and connoisseur it’s laughable because you have Crawford moving up two weight classes to face Canelo, a natural light heavyweight. Crawford, who couldn’t back up Madrimov… Canelo will take him out of the ring”.
How many more years will Canelo Alvarez remain active?
On the other hand, at 34 years of age, Saul Alvarez himself acknowledged in an interview that he plans to continue putting on the gloves for at least another three or four years.
“From 28-29 years old, at this age is where I felt best. I’ve always said that at 37 is a good age to enjoy what I’ve done with my family, other things in my career and that’s what I say; but I said I would debut at 18 and I did at 15,” Canelo Alvarez told ESPN.
Canelo Alvarez wants to fight at the Estadio Azteca before retiring
But before thinking about leaving, Canelo Alvarez warned that he first wants to organize a fight in the largest sports venue in Mexico, the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City, which could be finalized with TKO in the future.
“Yes, I’m interested in fighting at the Estadio Azteca. I would love to have a fight before I retire at the Azteca,” commented Canelo Alvarez on the last moments he plans for his successful sports career.
