“They Don’t Like Me Because I Speak the Truth”: Floyd Mayweather’s Former Opponent Makes Startling Revelation on Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford Possible Fight

Victor Ortiz, a seasoned warrior of the ring and a former adversary of Floyd Mayweather, recently unleashed a verbal jab that’s causing ripples far beyond the ropes. In an unexpected twist during an interview with FightHype, Ortiz stepped into a controversial ring, hinting at a startling revelation. His target? The much-discussed potential super-fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford.

Ortiz, known for his blunt honesty, hinted at a perspective that challenges the established narrative around Alvarez’s stature in the boxing world. With the backdrop of Crawford’s recent triumphs and Alvarez’s dominance in his weight class, Ortiz’s words could redefine how we perceive this awaited clash.

Terence Crawford is taller than Canelo?

As the boxing world eagerly anticipates the potential showdown between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez, every opinion weighs in like a strategic chess move. The stakes are sky-high: Crawford, fresh off a historic victory over Errol Spence Jr., is eyeing a legendary status by challenging Alvarez, the reigning super middleweight champion.

Enter Victor Ortiz, a figure no stranger to the spotlight. In the interview with Fighthype, he candidly addressed the matchup, sparking intrigue with his bold assessment. “He’s the man right now Victor, what do you tell him?” the interviewer asked, referring to Crawford. Ortiz didn’t hesitate, affirming, “Of course he is man. At this point in time, there’s no one that can mess with him. Hey, Terence T Bud man.”

The conversation then took a sharp turn toward Canelo. “Not even Canelo?” probed the interviewer. Ortiz’s response was as unfiltered as it was unexpected. “You know what, I said this time and time again, and Canelo and them they don’t like me because I speak the truth. I say it like it is man, you’re a dangerous individual and let’s be realistic man. I mean, Canelo’s not a natural 180, 185. He’s our weight class, he’s our height, he’s smaller than us. At the end of the day, I don’t mean to ever bash on anyone but speaking facts apparently gets me in trouble all the time.”

Ortiz’s words are more than mere commentary; they challenge the perceived physical disparity between Crawford and Alvarez. This isn’t just a conversation about fighter statistics. But what makes this fight different from Jermell vs Canelo?
