It seems like a never ending story. Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez managed to beat Caleb Plant and became the first Mexican and Latin American boxer to obtain under his power the scepters of the FIB, WBC. AMB and OMB . Despite the gigantic achievement, there are those who still question it and consider that it will not be remembered as the largest in Mexico . This is how the former boxer thinks Juan Manuel Márquez .
“ No, you can’t say that ‘Canelo’ can be the best in all of history when we’ve seen the best, Julio César Chávez, for example . The fighters who have faced the best of the best ”, declared Juan Manuel Márquez in an interview for Youtube through the channel Deplaymaker .
However, this is a conception that other people linked to boxing have shared. They have even taken the audacity to affirm that “they are fights made” because of the little danger of the contestants .
In this sense, Juan Manuel Márquez continued to express his arguments regarding the importance of Canelo’s achievements. The former Mexican fighter used as a parameter the quality and demand that rivals had in their fights and those of other Aztec boxers.
“There are many fighters who win the world championships as I did and as several did (…) fighting with the better, without having the rivals rehydration clauses, without diminishing them, without telling them ‘you have to do this’ , and that now I am side A “, sentenced the former peeler Mexican.
