And like so many fighters before him, Canelo let the comments get under his skin. Just like that, a potential rivalry between the pair became a thing. https://twitter.com/latimespugmire/status/768572931718848512?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw“When you look at this Canelo [Alvarez] situation. It’s an era of cherry picking."
“It’s not like that with me. I’m here to challenge myself. I’m training to go up two divisions, and it’s going to be a great fight.”
Well, guess who's still getting asked questions about a certain UFC superstar? The latest came courtesy of Fight Hub and Alvarez, who should be focusing on his upcoming against Liam Smith, actually treated the question seriously.
"If he wants to try out boxing, then any time he wants. If he wants to come over to this side of the world and try boxing, any time he wants, to see that it's not as easy as he thinks."
The fact of the matter is, if McGregor and Canelo slugged it out inside a boxing ring over 12 rounds, the Dubliner would probably be rendered unconscious. The same fate would almost definitely befall Alvarez if they faced each other inside the Octagon.
You'd put your house on Michael Phelps breezing through the 200m freestyle swim section of the modern pentathlon, but he's fucked when it comes to fencing and show jumping. It's extremely unlikely that McGregor will ever fight Alvarez, yet the these superfight questions keep getting answers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UU8oleGY97A The new GAA Hour hurling podcast is here with Brian Cody, Conal Keaney and Damien Hayes.
