Canelo Responds to De La Hoya’s Hypothetical Fight Comments
In the world of boxing, rivalries and trash talk are just as important as the fights themselves. And when it comes to the ongoing feud between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and his former promoter Oscar De La Hoya, things have definitely heated up.
Recently, De La Hoya made headlines by claiming that he would easily defeat Canelo in a hypothetical fight if they were both in their prime. This bold statement sparked a response from the current undisputed super middleweight champion.
For those who may not be familiar with the backstory, Canelo and De La Hoya had a bitter falling out that resulted in legal proceedings and an out-of-court settlement. Since then, the two have taken shots at each other through social media and public interviews.
But things came to a head at the press conference for Canelo’s upcoming title defense against Jaime Munguia, who is co-promoted by Golden Boy alongside Zanfer Promotions. De La Hoya, who played his part professionally during the event, couldn’t resist taking a jab at his former protege afterwards.
He not only insulted and mocked Canelo, but also claimed that he would easily defeat him in a hypothetical fight. This didn’t sit well with the current champion, who had some choice words for his ex-promoter.
In an interview with Kosport Magazine, Canelo didn’t hold back when responding to De La Hoya’s comments.
“I think it’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen in my life, and that’s what Oscar is,” Canelo said. “He relies on nothing more than saying stupid things, and that’s why people pay attention to him. But in his company, he does nothing more than say stupid things. That’s all he knows how to do.”
Summary:
The ongoing feud between Canelo Alvarez and his former promoter Oscar De La Hoya has reached a new level. After De La Hoya claimed he would easily defeat Canelo in a hypothetical fight, the current undisputed super middleweight champion responded by calling his ex-promoter out for his constant need to say “stupid things.” This rivalry is just as entertaining as any fight in the ring, and fans can’t wait to see what happens next.
