Following the latest fight between Canelo Alvarez and John Ryder, the former UFC double champ Conor McGregor believed he could fight the Mexican boxer in the ring. In fact, he was of the opinion that Alvarez was waning. After Alvarez recently learned about McGregor’s views, he laughed and claimed that he would beat the Irish fighter “with one hand on his back“.

In his last fight, Canelo Alvarez defended his undisputed super middleweight championship against John Ryder, a southpaw. Having watched the fight, McGregor felt he saw “methods”. Thus, the Irish mixed martial artist said, “I’m a southpaw, John Ryder’s a southpaw, Billy Joe Saunders is a southpaw – I’ve seen methods. I’ve seen things I do, and I know he’s waning. And I’d fight Canelo, no f***ing problem.
