Renowned commentator and analyst knows boxing as well as anyone there is in the game and had some unique insight ahead of Canelo vs Crawford.
There has been a trend recently of world champions bringing in other world champions as sparring partners.
That is not usual.
A world champion in professional boxing is not just a sparring partner obviously.
He is a dangerous man capable of doing some damage to his opponent.
Teddy Atlas Concerns On Canelo Bringing In Jaron Ennis For Sparring
Alvarez brought in world champion Jaron Ennis for sparring for Terence Crawford and Teddy Atlas has mentioned sometimes this can back fire in boxing.

At the same time, Alvarez is no full and would never fall into this trap at all.
If Saul Alvarez wanted to batter Jaron Ennis around the ring and bust him up, he would do so. Very quickly. Rest assured.
Just like that.
At the drop of a hat.
Alvarez is just using Ennis to get ready for Crawford.
Alvarez is a shrewd man and operator.
Here is how to watch Canelo vs Crawford next week on Netflix.
