American ex-world champion Kelly Pavlik believes that the undisputed super middleweight champion Mexican Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs) will remain in the division and give up trying to conquer the "big" weights. He also assessed the possibility of another Canelo fight with Kazakhstani Gennady Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs), and quotes him from bbabo.net.
"I think it's gone. Golovkin is getting older. So personally, I wouldn't want to see that. It's different with Charlo. There's a lot of hype, which is why it's interesting. But to be honest, I would like to see Jermall against Saunders first or Planta, it would be cool if he first earned a fight with Canelo by proving his worth at this weight, I prefer Benavidez, since both he and Canelo have been in this weight for a long time, and yes, I think that David "A real threat to Alvarez. He is his biggest challenge," Pavlik insists.
The American spoke about the latest fights of the Mexican and walked through the skeptics, who are constantly unhappy.
Canelo is now a boar in boxing. But don't try to please everyone. That doesn't happen. For example, he beat Canelo Caleb Plant, and the fans say: "No brainer, I beat him." Although before they said otherwise. Same thing with Billy Joe Saunders. Now they say that Canelo will fight Jermall Charlo. There will be many dissatisfied. They will say: “I crushed the small one,” because Jermall is from middleweight, and Canelo successfully fought even in light heavyweight,” continues the ex-world champion.
Pavlik believes that there are a couple of boxers who would cause serious problems for the titled Mexican.
“I think Canelo peaked at 69.9 kilograms. He can even risk going into cruisers. But it’s different there. You can be damn cool. four, five weight categories, then this is a completely different compote.Yes, I think that all this is already becoming dangerous.Although Canelo taught me to never write him off, there is Artur Beterbiev in light heavyweight - a very healthy and powerful fighter "I believe that Canelo would look cool even against him. But I would still like to see Alvarez at 76.2 kilograms against David Benavidez. I think this is a more realistic option," Pavlik concluded.
