Canelo on best Mexican fighters ever – His Top 3
Ahead of this weekend’s big fight as well as touching on his top Mexican boxers of all time list, Alvarez was in bullish form saying:
‘I don’t need to prove anything to anybody. I just need to prove to myself. I’m the best.’
On preparations for the fight and fighting on for years ahead he added he’s will get the KO this weekend:
‘I feel at my best and I never felt this good in my life. Yes of course. I will do it. I don’t know (what round) but I will do it.’
Asked who his three favorite Mexican boxers of all time were he responded:
‘Julio Cesar Chavez, Gilberto Roman and Alacran Torres.’
Alvarez modestly dismissed himself from the all time list saying:
‘Ah, Canelo Alvarez is different.’
What a fight this Saturday promises to be.
A great clash of styles and both highly attacking fighters when they choose to be.
You get the sense that at some point bombs will be exchanged in this all-Mexican showdown at some stage in the fight.
That said, Alvarez has the pedigree to choose to box and move too, which might be the case early on at least.
