Canelo Álvarez is a highly questioned boxer despite his hits. One of the most critical of the man from Guadalajara has been Julio César Chávez Jr. The Mexican boxer questions on trial his status as “the best pound-for-pound fighter today” due to the quality of his rivals . Given these accusations, the “Great Mexican Champion” enlisted to defend the man from Guadalajara.

“You can’t say that Canelo is a ‘big ass’ (…) It’s your point of view, but sometimes I don’t share it “, Chávez pointed out in a statement compiled by Mediotiempo.

The reviews of Julio César Chávez Jr.

The “Junior” is not alone in his opinion even though his father does not share it. Julio César Chávez Jr. does not believe that Canelo is the best pound-for-pound fighter because he has not faced fighters of this level. This is a conception that has also been expressed by José Benavidez, father of the “Red Flag”.

“The best in the world is ready to fight the best wherever and whenever. Canelo is the best in the world, I admit that, but he does not fight with me or with Golovkin because he takes out the ‘patch’”, sentenced Chávez Jr.

Have you overcome the problems with your father?

In recent days Julio César Chávez Jr. has unloaded a lot of resentment towards his father through the networks social. The Mexican boxer lives with the latent fear of being admitted to a clinic for addictions or, in his opinion, because his father is carried away by external comments. In this sense, the “Junior” seems to have smoothed out some rough edges.

“ He wanted to hospitalize me, but I stayed with him and cooled his head . I told him ‘Calm down, I’m the one who loves you, don’t pay attention to people’ “, revealed.
