He further added, “Callum’s (Smith) gonna try to box, but Canelo hits too damn hard and we’re just at a different level. These guys are good, no doubt about it, but there’s a separation here and we’re going to make it very clear coming fight night.”

Garcia has been training alongside Alvarez for a while now. He has been learning extremely valuable lessons from the pound-for-pound king of boxing. Over the course of his observation, he admitted that there’s no one better than Canelo in the sport, and the Mexican will just keep on getting better.
