In the modern boxing era, Canelo Alvarez has made an astonishing statement. He is the pound-for-pound king of the game, looking super-strong to register his name in the history books for many more years to come. Besides fans, Alvarez has also impressed his fellow boxers like Tyson Fury.

Recently, ‘The Gypsy King’, who was in a chat with FightHype.com, shared his notion on the Mexican boxer. Fury said, “Canelo is an excellent fighter, great fighter.”

You know people are going in there lost before they even lose the fight. Just like that fear factor of Mike Tyson or fighting ‘The Gypsy King’. People are scared before they get in there and they already lose.”
