Eddie Hearn says Canelo Alvarez's self-assurance is at such a general since he accepts he can beat heavyweights Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk. The Mexican star's certainty is in the stratosphere, as per Hearn.
That would be fascinating to boxing fans to see the 5'8″ Canelo, 31, attempt and copy what previous middleweight champion Roy Jones Jr. achieved in bouncing up to heavyweight and catching a world title in 2003.
Jones Jr. weighed just 193 lbs when he deposed WBA heavyweight champion John Ruiz in that battle. For Canelo's situation, he would have a more burdensome errand, as Joshua makes an appearance the 240s and can punch with critical power.
Canelo (57-1-2, 39 KOs) hasn't said whether he's going up to cruiserweight close to challenge WBC champion Ilunga Makabu or stay at 168 to guard his four titles against his next battle on May seventh.
Canelo will probably remain at super middleweight for his next battle and guard his IBF/WBA/WBC/WBO titles against the unbeaten Jermall Charlo (32-0, 22 KOs).
"I was with him in San Diego, and here he'll handle every one of the proposals from everyone. It very well may be Charlo from PBC, Beterbiev from Top Rank.
From us, it very well may be Bivol or Golovkin, which are two incredible battles," said Hearn to MMA Hour on who Canelo will battle next on May seventh.
"It truly comes down to cash, obviously, yet additionally what he and Eddy Reynoso extravagant, what they like. They have all the cash, they have all the heritage, they have every one of the belts.
"Canelo lives for the test, and it'll boil down to the battle he loves. The Golovkin battle is as yet the greatest in boxing; it's the set of three for the undisputed title [at 168].
"Bivol is an incredible battle at 175 assuming he goes up and attempts to become undisputed at light heavyweight. Charlo is one more great battle, Benavidez; there are heaps of battles.
"He's acquired the option to give orders, and as far as I might be concerned, it's a fantasy working with him. At the point when you're around a warrior like Canelo, you begin to understand the significance of certainty and mentality of a contender," Hearn said.
There won't be any point in Canelo battling Gennadiy Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs) after this year in light of the fact that the Kazakh warrior will be 41-years of age in 2023. Fans will giggle at Canelo assuming he decides to battle Golovkin with him being that age.
"He believes he's totally unparalleled, and he wants to beat Usyk," Hearn proceeded. "I surmise he wants to beat AJ. That is only his attitude. He's so great. Ostensibly the best warrior I've at any point seen very close, yet even across the ages.
"Whenever I got to work with him, we did Saunders; we broke the indoor participation record in Dallas. It was a blessing from heaven, truly.
"I would rather not sound like a fan-kid, yet on the off chance that we can get his mark for two or three battles, I'd be ecstatic," said Hearn.
On the off chance that Hearn will keep Canelo with DAZN, he should sell him on battling Bivol, Golovkin, or maybe Demetrius Andrade. Mayweather vs Money Kicks fight on tv
At this moment, it seems like Canelo will head down the path of battling Charlo next, as that is a battle that the boxing public wishes to see from him, and it'll draw in a lot of interest from fans.
Charlo is an astounding contender who has a huge after of fans. What makes Charlo the ideal rival for Canelo is that he's helpless and not quite so risky as Golovkin, Bivol, Artur Beterbiev, or David Benavidez.
