Canelo has a couple of fights lined up before moving to challenge ‘Sweethands’ for his IBF belt. Till then, the American boxer has ample time to work on his flecks and present himself much better against Saul Alvarez. This will be his toughest test to date, and his work ethics will be evident in his preparations.
If he pulls off a win over Alvarez somehow, needless to say, it’ll go down as one of the biggest upsets of the sport.
