GGG may be the most feared boxer in the sport right now but Canelo Alvarez is by far the biggest draw right now.
Canelo has fought the best the sport has to offer, Floyd Mayweather, so when he was asked if he was afraid to fight GGG he gave the answer we all expected:
“I am not afraid of any fighter, but right now I am focused on Cotto. Once this fight is over we can move on to the next big fight,” Canelo stated.
“Every fight at this level has been difficult and the best that we can do is, be prepared. You can’t predict the outcome of a fight, but we make sure to leave not doubts in the ring.
“I want to fight the big fights and am not afraid to take risks. I believe my fighting style and opponents over the years have shown that. I am here to prove I am the best and the best way to do that is fighting the best.”
Canelo has to get past Miguel Cotto before he begins to think about the problems GGG presents. It’d be a great fight to see but a lot has to happen for it to come to fruition. Until then we will have to see these two boxing stars continue on separate paths.
