Floyd Mayweather PREDICTS Canelo Alvarez VS. Edgar Berlanga FIGHT

if it was up to me like we like we keep on say we want to see Ben benitz um Canelo hell of a fighter but I my personal opinion he's duck he's ducking benas here they appraise Canelo he can pick and choose who he want to fight and and I'm going to tell you the truth about Canelo [ __ ] easy man walk easy many boxing professionals have shared different opinions on the Canelo Alvarez versus Edgar banga fight while some have been very harsh in their criticisms of the fight others believe Canelo Alvarez is at a stage he can cherry-pick as many opponents as he feels like which is just one of his many rewards for building a boxing career as prolific as his well Floyd Mayweather isn't clearly on either side of the Divide he shares canelo's sentiment to an extent but of course Floyd would end up criticizing anyone but himself and eventually he did drift off the topic to bring himself into the conversation is really that they don't want it's not that they want they don't want to see tank win cuz they feel like it's beating me well that is n entirely his fault this time as Canelo Alvarez himself had spoken severally about Floyd in the buildup to the fight comparing his decision to duck fighters to Mayweather's actions during the latter years of his career where he fought only opponents he felt like fighting including a fighter who had no boxing experiences well responding Floyd Mayweather trolled Canelo for comparing himself to him he shouldn't compare his case with mine I fought them all till they were gone Canelo Alvarez still has boxers calling him out yet he's ducking he's is going to Feast on berlanga and feel like a champ again while taking the wrong fights y'all sitting up here y'all praising this dude this dude was nothing I was almost 40 years old when I when I cooked this dude most importantly Floyd Mayweather reiterated a claim he made some months ago about Canelo Alvarez giving fans the fight they want to see he should fight benovitz I think he should do that else it's not getting better for him benovitz has been calling for his rival to face him for years but even though he was the WBC mandatory Challenger Canelo has dis missed the bout claiming the only thing his fellow Mexican brings to the table is an extra 25 lbs come Fight Night Canelo has put a $20 million bounty on the fight seemingly pricing himself out of the contest that he recently admitted would be a risk Canelo hell of a fighter but I my personal opinion he's duck he's ducking benitz you know that's just my personal opinion obviously he is a risk he is a great fighter and plus he brings to the ring on Fight Night 255 lbs more than me I can beat that guy tomorrow one man who agrees with the public that Canelo is ducking the Mexican monster is former opponent Floyd Mayweather Mayweather handed the 33-year-old his first ever career defeat back in 2013 when he controlled the action and won a decision on the scorecards speaking to fighter IQ about the matchup Mayweather gave his honest opinion on the situation uh to speak my mind that's just what it is he's going up um he's going up to crew and and and I'm not knocking him but if it was up to to me like we keep on saying we want to see benovitz Canelo is a hell of a fighter but in my personal opinion is that he's ducking benovitz and that's just my personal opinion and I'm allowed to speak my mind that's just what it is we want to see Ben aidz let's make it happen Ben aidz grew tired of waiting for a shot at the 168 lb belts and has decided to stay at light heavyweight to face the winner of the Undisputed clash between Artur BBV and Dimitri bival in October he's not looking to say now remember this sounds familiar Canelo Alvarez's most famous defeat and a pivotal point in his boxing career came against Floyd Mayweather in 2013 Alvarez was only 23 years old at the time but with six World Boxing Council title defenses and a record of 4201 ahead of the bout many felt he could give money a stiff challenge uh boxing gym the guys who get really getting the best in in the Mayweather boxing gym but what unfolded was a genuine masterclass in the defensive side of boxing with Mayweather regarded as arguably the greatest defensive boxer of all time the surging Mexican Champion was unable to land punches with his usual consistency and his opponent picked him apart using sharp counter punches many fans and pundits have pointed to the defeat to money as a turning point in Alvarez's career with theories suggesting that the American showed the younger pugilists a new level to the Sweet science ahead of his upcoming super middleweight title fight with with Edgar berlanga Saul Canelo Alvarez was interviewed by dazen boxing who's away I mean we got that's we got a lot Ben can go and beat that same guy he he can beat that same guy at at 168 he was asked if he would be interested in fighting Mayweather again and said this yes of course I would love to have the opportunity for Revenge obviously we know it's not going to happen but yes I would love to get rid of that little Thorn if Revenge isn't for the defeat then it must be for Floyd Mayweather's cunning actions Mayweather won't always mind his business and while he has fired shots at Canelo Alvarez for ducking benovitz he had earlier supported his decision to fight whoever he wanted Saul Canelo Alvarez stands as the epitome of Mexican boxing prowess a legacy that once belonged to Floyd Mayweather Jr when you are put in a a certain position he should be Go I mean he's able to like like me and in an unexpected turn the retired Legend threw his support behind Alvarez's decision to face Yi mongia in May rather than opting for a more high-profile opponent such as David benovitz Mayweather Jr told Tes endorsement came as a surprise to many within the boxing World given the relatively lesser stature of mongia compared to other potential contenders however Mayweather urged respect for Alvarez recognizing him as the current pound-for-pound King in a statement to fight hype media Mayweather expressed his support for Alvarez's choices I I earned that right um but do do I like this fight absolutely not a lot of time Fighters got to do what's best for them Mayweather said you have to live with the decisions that you make I was in that same situation Canelo didn't beat the world champions he didn't beat the Champions by struggling he clearly dominated a lot of those guys he tested his skills light heavyweight he won a title has nothing to prove he already fought everybody he fought the best no I feel happy because he he knows everything right then he fought another guy at light heavyweight and came up short but he's a future Hall of Fame a hell of a fighter everybody wants their business different I wish him nothing but the best he added for Alvarez Mayweather's endorsement held special significance validating his decisions in the Twilight of his career he expressed gratitude for Mayweather's words highlighting the significance of Praise from a figure of Mayweather's stature in boxing that was coming from him who who who I feel happy because he knows everything Canelo told Little Giant boxing that was coming from him who has been and done everything so I feel special despite nearing the end of his career Alvarez remains undaunted demonstrating a willingness to face any Challenger including benovitz his commitment to maintaining his top tier status is evident fueled by Mayweather's endorsement and his own unwavering determination looking ahead Alvarez revealed his intention to continue boxing for at least another four years aiming to maximize his potential in the ring while acknowledging that age brings its challenges he remains steadfast in his pursuit of greatness a pending bout at the azteka moreover Alvarez has his sight set on a Monumental event a fight at the iconic AA stadium in Mexico City with ambitions to Stage a historic bout in his homeland's most prestigious sporting venue Alvarez seeks to cement his legacy as one of boxing's all-time greats his eyes one you faced off against no it's hard to Josh to see the the eyes in the face off and everything I never J another boxing Legend who feels exactly the same way about Canelo Alvarez is Mike Tyson Mike Tyson has spoken out against Canelo Alvarez labeling him afraid ahead of his fight with Edgar berlanga this weekend Canelo returns to the boxing ring for the second time this year on Saturday defending his super middleweight belts in the T-Mobile Arena Las Vegas fighting on Mexican Independence Day the champion will face Puerto Rico's undefeated Edgar berlanga who will hope to pursue a huge upset and claim the belts Canelo I think this is a great fight that the Mexican fans are going to enjoy but is there any pressure to make the fight we're speaking about babidas because you got people like but former heavyweight champion Tyson believes that Canelo should be fighting someone else and labeled him afraid of turning down the fight in February Canelo reportedly turned down an opportunity to face David benovitz an unbeaten interim Champion considered to be one of the best in the sport reacting to the news Tyson told Mara I can't believe believe what I just heard Canelo rejected $60 million to fight benovitz who is a tremendous fighter young strong with hunger and Mexican Pride what's wrong with Canelo is he afraid of losing doesn't he want to give the fans the fight they want to see don't you want to give the fans the fight they want to see do you not respect the legacy of the great Mexican Champions who face the best regardless of the money Tyson continued further criticizing the Canelo saying said if if he Brian Garcia said if he was you he would already f Mike Tyson said you need to fight him is there any pressure terms this is a shame for boxing and for Mexico if I were him I would accept the fight with benovitz and show the world that he is the best but it seems he doesn't have the courage to do it it is a shame because he has a lot of talent but he lacks heart instead the 34-year-old faces berlanga who boasts an impressive record of 22 wins and zero losses with 17 of his victories coming via knockout but while the 27-year-old is No Easy Task he is far from the level of benovitz leading to the criticism from Tyson and Tyson is not the only one to criticize Canelo recently for seeming to avoid the big fights with Saudi boxing Chief turkey Alik also claiming that the champion is dodging difficult fights with benovitz and Terrence Crawford Saul Canelo Alvarez admits something has changed for so long he pushed to test himself against more experienced Fighters such as Shane Mosley Floyd Mayweather Jr and Miguel Cotto like like Mike Tyson saying it do you respect his opinion or how do you feel about like Mike I respect his opinion if if he I sober or he would press to accept a bout against a foe in which the outcome was in deep suspense the first two genedy Golovkin fights winning that fourth belt against light heavyweight champion Sergey kovalev and then losing to another one 75 pounder Dimitri bival just two years ago but now as he heads to Saturday night's defense of his three super middleweight beltss against major Underdog Edgar banga Alvarez said he can feel the difference asked by boxing scene if the nerves are there and the juices are flowing for banga 27 like they were before meeting Golovkin in 2017 to open a Trilogy Alvarez quickly answered no during Wednesday's news conference when Alvarez was asked on stage how he came to settle on berlanga as the opponent a play on words to be sure Alvarez said he rather easily just accepted the Brooklyn New York fighter with Puerto Rican bloodlines I fought everybody already Alvarez said of his immediate thought back then as he chatted with his manager and trainer Eddie Roso over finalizing the choice so I was on vacation and Eddie called me they were working on the fight and I said you know whatever I don't care I fight everybody so Canelo Team all of them Eddie Roso Cho Roso being with me all my whole life that absence of a rival who stirs the soul is a compelling ing Dynamic here for Mexico's Alvarez who also recently told boxing scene he doesn't know much about Christian and Billy and Diego Pacho two Rising unbeatens who are top ranked contenders in the 168b division at 34 with a secured Legacy a fortified bank account and a determined stubborn mindset about how his career will play out Alvarez said he maintains interest in continuing to fight but feels the void of knowing there's someone out there who can take away what he has during his Ascent to this precipice Alvarez would always be motivated by the industry chatter pushing him to fight the most deserved opponent that name he was reminded Wednesday is Phoenix's David benovitz the former super middleweight title holder who became so fatigued at being bypassed by Alvarez as the world boxing council's top ranked and mandatory Contender that he moved up to light heavyweight and earned a June victory over a former world champion and is now being pointed to another 175lb bout December 14 have Alvarez's previous urges to prove himself to the doubters and address the unknown vanished now is it a result of his stature and more pressing interest to dictate his path I always fought everybody Alvarez said I've had legendary fights Cotto Golovkin they brought something to the table they brought me a legacy for everything Eddie hns thank you for for make this happen too and I just can't wait to to to Saturday so uh thank you everybody thank you I know you guys if I beat benovitz you're going to put another fighter there for me to beat if the money is right in that special fight I'm in because benitz doesn't bring me Legacy he doesn't bring me anything if the money's right I'm in of course Alvarez has asked in excess of $125 million to fight benovitz whether Al heyman's Premier Boxing Champions can pay that kind of purse is unknown Saudi Arabia's turkey alal shik has indicated interest in backing an Alvarez fight against lighter unbeaten four Division champion Terrence Crawford but it's unknown how deep he would sink into the Apparently bottomless well of Middle East oil funds to bankroll Alvarez benovitz I would like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ once again for this opportunity I'm not going to beg Alvarez told boxing scene recently of negotiating with alal shik whose Riad season is sponsoring the UFC 306 event across the strip at the sphere this weekend to the tune of 20 million plus dollars when someone asked Alvarez witch fighter from today's landscape boosts his legacy as Golovkin and Kato did he said I don't know right now there's not many people left I fought everybody already is there one guy he can think of no Alvarez said when bv's name was mentioned Alvarez nodded affirmatively WBA light heavyweight title holder bival is preparing for the Undisputed light heavyweight title fight against unbeaten Russian countrymen Ur better beev in Saudi Arabia on October 12th beevil I have a rematch coming Alvarez said if he wins the Undisputed I think he has the ability to do it BBV is a really strong fighter it's going to be hard but bivel can do it until then Alvarez moves to what's developing as the formality of defeating berlanga even though the fighter and his trainer proclaimed their Readiness to produce a thrilling bout Saturday night at T-Mobile Arena know that we're here to make history and that we have everything in front of us as well Alvarez made clear he was n saying these things to disrespect berlanga the world boxing Association mandatory Contender he said he knows it's the unknown sport of boxing I'm just always confident of myself my skills my experience he said even in the Golovkin fight I'm always confident in every move I make so what still inspires him I enjoy it everything the feeling of these big fights being in front of reporters my routine of being in training camp the feeling when I walk in the ring on fight night it puts more money in my account too obviously this repeated refrain of I've already done everything raised the most obvious question is Alvarez's career moving to the 12th round no I go fight by fight and I feel at my best now Alvarez said this Canelo beats the Canelo of 25 26 27 I feel great my mind my training camp I take care of myself my body I have more experience every time I fight even if it feels like he's experienced it all for Canelo forong and um the fans was going crazy you know they was like we want you next for for September we want you next you know the Mexican fans was going crazy right Canelo Alvarez and Edgar banga will fight in a battle between two Nations iconic for producing Elite boxers Mexico and Puerto Rico Puerto Rico currently holds the lead over Mexico on aggregate with banga eager to extend that Advantage even further but the super middleweight champion has other ideas in mind and plans on handing the chosen one a meeting he won't forget the tension between the pair has been Amplified by the trash talk directed towards Alvarez by his opponent which the guadalahara native has used as added motivation during training during a recent episode of pbc's gloves off Canelo versus berlanga the 34-year-old was captured saying the following I like them like that I like them to be confident and do a lot of talking I like breaking their faces when they play like that I'm eagerly awaiting the day it'll be the Beatdown of his life their fight f famously had to withstand opposition from Oscar De La Hoya who claimed he would be attending the UFC event instead of canelo's Dana White and Oscar De La Hoya have a rivalry that dates back many years with white especially showing extreme amounts of vitriol toward the Hall of Fame boxer turn promoter you know after the after this Victory with we just started pushing the issue for the fight and we you know we got it oh glory to God what's it like being here because Canelo has done this many times over again that's why it came as something of a surprise that De La Hoya announced he would would be attending UFC 306 at Las Vegas's sphere rather than Canelo Alvarez's boxing match with Edgar banga that same night in the same city De La Hoya announced his intentions late last week calling the UFC's trip to the sphere an event everyone would be watching instead of another lame Canelo fight white was asked about De La Hoya's decision by Grind City media John Morgan and suggested that De La Hoya may be attending as a guest of turkey alos shik Saudi Arabia's chairman of the General entertainment Authority and whose Riad season project is sponsoring UFC 306 I don't know where he's getting his tickets from but he definitely isn't getting them from me white said I don't know if he's coming with alal Sheik or what his deal is but yeah I saw it other snooze Fest they're trying to sell a pay-per-view for $90 and $500 minimum in person it's just robbery at this point to pay for another lame Canelo fight white went on to suggest that De La Hoya's decision to attend UFC 306 was actually driven more by the former boxers long-standing rivalry with Alvarez than any real interest in the UFC event white then went on to praise Alvarez and mentioned that UFC 306 which is to be a celebration of Mexican Fighting history will include Alvarez as a big part of the night it's him trying to [ __ ] on Canelo and I said it a million times I respect Canelo white said I like Canelo met him he's a nice guy I'm saying that that night we're talking about the history of Mexico and the history of the people and their traditions and the impact that they've had on Combat Sports somebody said to me so you'll be celebrating Canelo that night yes we are Canelo is a big part he's a big part of the night Julio Cesar Chavez Salvador Sanchez how are you going to do all the baddest dudes that have ever come out of Mexico and not talk about Canelo 2 one point you guys were cool and he was trying to sign you and him questioning also you of how Puerto Rican you are yeah he's crazy bro that's why I told him a smack him when I see him cuz and he better have security cuz he is disrespectful like he's just old like he's just so disrespectful De La Hoya and Alvarez had a promotional relationship for nearly 10 years before a contentious split in 2020 that year Alvarez filed a lawsuit against De La Hoya Golden Boy promotions and broadcast partner dazen alleging breach of contract boxing more than anything and I will be watching boxing matches anywhere so the idea I'm choosing to attend the UFC and support Dana White instead of Canelo tells you everything you need to know tensions had been escalating prior to the split and things have only gotten worse between the pair and the years since the lawsuit was resolved with Alvarez being allowed to sever ties with Golden Boy promotions and that's all for now for the very best updates on news moments events and actions in the world of boxing stay connected with us by subscribing to our
