Deontay Wilder, known for his straightforwardness in the boxing world, recently raised questions about Canelo Álvarez’s reluctance to face the formidable ‘Mexican Monster’. Wilder suggested a mix of fear and reputation management might be influencing Alvarez’s decisions. “I think Canelo is scared of him. Sometimes it’s like that in boxing, or maybe he don’t wanna lose reputation,” Wilder stated, highlighting the complex dynamics that often dictate match-ups in professional boxing.

He also touched upon the sensitive issue of race in the sport, noting the double standards prevalent in fighter selection. “If I say I don’t wanna fight a black man, that’s what the headlines would be about. But when others say certain things, it’s no consequences, no repercussions,” Wilder observed, reflecting on the controversy surrounding Alvarez’s alleged avoidance of Mexican opponents. His comments underscore the need for transparency and fairness in the sport’s matchmaking processes.
