Is Saúl Álvarez the best pound for pound today?
Roberto Durán was very emphatic when ensuring that Canelo is the best active fighter . To argue his opinion, “Mano de Piedra” listed the big names in the sport, but they have already hung up their gloves.
“ For me, yes, because there is no one there. Who? Durán is not there, Chávez is not there, Floyd Mayweather is not there. Today, fighting live is Canelo, who else can it be? “, he said.
Why do you criticize Canelo Álvarez?
On the other hand, Durán assured that Juan Manuel Márquez and those who are in charge of criticizing Canelo, are only envious of his career and successes. “Mano de Piedra” assured that the fighter from Guadalajara is a good person and described her first contact with him.
“ For me he is envious (Juan Manuel Márquez), why Doesn’t he go boxing? That’s just envy . I only know Canelo by phone, his brother introduced him to me by video. No one is a gold coin to be liked by everyone. Anyone who speaks ill of Canelo is because he is envious. Canelo is a good person for me ”, explained the Panamanian.
