Eddy Reynoso continues to present arguments to explain why, despite its detractors in Mexico, Saúl El Canelo Álvarez He meets all the requirements to be considered quite good the best boxer for every kilogram in the world.
“Canelo was world champion at 154, 160, 168 and 175 pounds. Due to our genetics as Mexicans, the weight categories that fit us were 135, 140 and less. The only fighters in history to win world titles 154 , 160 and 168 were just Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns and now Canelo “, expressed in dialogue with The little giant box.
In addition, Reynoso noted that if one considers Canelo’s height and genetics, it is unlikely that there will be another Mexican fighter capable of accomplishing something similar. “Saúl is already among the top 10 Mexican boxers in history because of what he did at his age, the challenges he took on, the world titles he won, the champions he faced. The number of champions and former champions that not many Mexican fighters have have achieved this. “, he showed.
And he also took the opportunity to make a comparison between tapatío and the legendary Julio Cesar Chavez: “When Chávez tried to jump to the welterweight, he couldn’t. There are many who tried to go to 147 and 154. Then maybe he would win a world title, but then he would lose.”.
Although he did not want to name names, Reynoso said that there are many retired Mexican boxers that the public has raised as the best on Aztec soil, but who have not come close to achieving the world titles that Canelo has won so far. . Career.
