Canelo’s Difficult Opponents

– Hamzah Sheeraz– Christian Mbilli– David Benavidez– Dmitry Bivol

Turki says he needs to maintain Canelo with him the rest of his profession. Nonetheless, that might not be an excessive amount of longer if he fights the fellows that he needs him to. Alvarez might not be value preserving on board for greater than two fights if Turki matches him in opposition to the fighters on his listing.

It will be safer for Turki to simply do a fight-by-fight cope with Canelo. He’s not ok to be beat among the contenders at 168 that he’s been avoiding just like the plague. Mbilli would expose Canelo, as would Osley Iglesias.

Sheeraz: Canelo’s Best Battle?

The one one which Canelo would doubtless beat is Hamzah Sheeraz, and that’s as a result of he has no actual expertise. You possibly can’t depend the hype job Edgar Berlanga as precise expertise at 168.

“Hamzah. We’re discussing with Canelo to resume the contract with him,” stated Turki Alalshikh to Ring Journal’s YouTube channel. “Possibly we will attain some extent the place we will have Canelo with us without end till he retires.

Crawford Threatens Turki’s Plans

Canelo dropping to Crawford would wreck Turki’s large plans for him to advance to different guys on his listing. Alvarez must avenge his loss, and who is aware of if he can? If he’s crushed as soon as by Crawford, he’ll get crushed once more.

“This will likely open one other web page for Crawford if he needs to proceed. Let’s see the outcomes. You don’t know. This struggle [Canelo-Crawford], in my view, is a 50-50 struggle. We now have one of many greatest fights in boxing within the final ten years. With our relationship with Netflix, this struggle can go far,” stated Turki.
