Prime oscar works Canelo. But at 160 or above, Canelo taking it.
Canelo would rip your head off 😂
Canelo wasn’t in his prime at those weight classes. Yea 147-154 you would’ve got the dub but at 160 Canelo would’ve cooked you 💯🥊
Many pointed out that Oscar might have been a better boxer in the lighter divisions. Still, Alvarez is the leading man in the heavier division and would quite possibly finish Alvarez in a twelve-round bout. The Mexican duo have been in a lengthy legal battle and now want to take on each other outside the courtroom.
Alvarez has yet to give his take on Oscar’s recent claims but has often made it clear that he finishes De La Hoya in the ring at any weight class. It will be interesting to see what happens with Canelo Alvarez in the near future and who his next opponent will be.
