Recently, ‘The Notorious’ took the world for a ride after he disclosed his desire to fight another legendary boxer, years after the exhibition fight against Floyd Mayweather. As a reply to an inquiry about a probable bout against a boxer, he revealed his desire to go against Alvarez.

He 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. I’d fight Canelo [Alvarez] no f***ing problem.”
