Follow Us
The Canelo Alvarez and Oscar De La Hoya feud has been one of boxing’s most surprising and longest disputes in recent history. Alvarez and his former promoter have been at loggerheads with each other ever since Canelo cut ties with him and Golden Boy Promotions.
Things turned sour between them when Alvarez started a legal dispute against De La Hoya regarding his contract. Ultimately, the Mexican won and split from De La Hoya. Since then, both have constantly taken digs at each other. And the pair have now engaged in yet another verbal battle.
It all started when De La Hoya commented on a video of Canelo teaching a young fan. He wrote, “Please, this guy does everything wrong, head up when he throws hooks, on his heels, flat footed. What else? Oh he avoids @twincharlo.”

Unsurprisingly, this comment did not go down well with Alvarez. He lashed back with, “@oscardelahoya oh really you want me to talk??? F***ing traidor [traitor].” The 56-2-1 boxer followed it up with, “@oscardelahoya do me a favor and go f— yourself,” and then added a few kitchen utensils emoticons referring to De La Hoya’s previous scandals.
