Promoter Eddie Hearn believes that Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez will hang his gloves after his fight against Terence Crawford. Hearn says he thinks “Father’s time” Had the soon to catch up 35-year-old Canelo (63-2-2, 39 COs) after watching his action against William Scull on May 3 in Riyadh.
Winable battles remain
Alvarez looked just as bad as he lost to Dmitri Biblical in 2022. He was fortunate that Scull did not have the willingness to stand and fight because he got the best of Canelo during the exchanges because of his hand speed and surprisingly good power.
That Hearn doesn’t make sense. Canelo has three more fights on his contract with Turki. His first battle of his original contract with four battle with Turki was against William Scull. Canelo’s second fight is on September 12, a title defense against 37-year-old Crawford, then his third and fourth fights in 2016 February and October.
The third battle for Canelo could be a re -broadcast in February 2026 with Crawford, or, probably, a collision against the winner of the Chris Eubank Jr.. Against Conor Benn. The fourth battle will certainly be against the winner of the Edgar Berlanga against Hamzah Sheeraz match. These are winable battles for Canelo; He will not reject it. It is not smooth fighters moving around like Crawford, and he will be able to walk them off to download bombs.
“I believe that the agreement with his excellence for three fights is. I think the Crawford match will be his last,” promoter Eddie Hearn said Ring magazine About Canelo Alvarez who may be retiring. “There is no Intel there, and I have not had any conversations with him yet. But after watching the scream of Crawford, what else is there for him to do? ‘
Blue-collar disposition
Canelo loves money too much for him to run away from his last two fights on his four-game contract after the Crawford collision. Even if he loses the fight against Terence, he will not retire because of pride and the dough. Canelo was not born of wealth. So, he has a blue-collar disposition that wants to get him as much money as possible. He believes in work. The Mexican star is different from the average fighter, who, after earning millions, sits around, does not exercise, becomes fat and living soft life of the nouveau riche.
“Do you want to go to England for a fight? Yes, I think it can appeal. But I don’t know. I just think Father time, the body, the mojo, I don’t know. I actually thought during the Scull battle: “I wouldn’t be surprised if he just didn’t fight against Crawford,” Hearn says.
Alvarez is not the fighter he used to be, but can still beat fighters like Berlanga, Eubank Jr., Benn and Sheeraz. These are the guys he would fight with to complete his four-game contract with Turki and make a treasure room of golden bullying. He is not going to retire without getting the gold. Hearn sounds like he knows what he’s talking about with his guesswork.
