Eddy Reynoso continues to present arguments to explain why, despite the detractors it has in Mexico, Saul El Canelo Alvarez meets all the requirements to be considered fairly as the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world today.
“Canelo has been world champion in 154, 160, 168 and 175 pounds. Due to our genetics as Mexicans, the weight categories that fit us have been 135, 140 and less. The only fighters in history who have won titles world championships in 154, 160 and 168 have only been Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns and now Canelo “, Expressed in dialogue with Small giant boxing.
In addition, Reynoso has remarked that if one takes into account the height and genetics of the Canelo it is unlikely that there will be another Mexican fighter capable of achieving something similar. “Saul is already among the top 10 Mexican boxers in history for what he has done at his age, the challenges he has taken on, the world titles he has won, the champions he has faced. The number of champions and former champions he has Not many Mexican fighters have achieved this. “, He pointed out.
And he also took the opportunity to make a comparison between the tapatío and the legendary Julio César Chávez: “When Chávez tried to jump on the welterweight, he couldn’t. There are many who tried to go to 147 and 154. Then maybe they would win a world title, but then they would lose.”.
While he did not want to give names, Reynoso said that there are many Mexican boxers already retired whom the public has raised as the best in the Aztec land, but who have not even come close to winning the world titles that Canelo has won in which he leads career.
