Former world welterweight champion Shawn Porter believes that the reigning undisputed champion of the super middleweight division (up to 76.2 kg) Mexican Canelo Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs) can be successful against the leaders of the light heavyweight category (up to 79.4 kg). ) – in particular, Dmitry Bivol (20-0, 11 KOs) who defeated him, as well as Artur Beterbiev (18-0, 18 KOs).
However, Alvarez will not be able to do this “on the spurt”, Sean is sure.
“I think these up and down transitions[by category]are beyond Canelo’s ability,” says Porter. “If Canelo is going to fight at light heavyweight again, he needs to give his body time to adjust to this division. I think in this case, in a year he will be able to compete with guys like Bivol and the rest – Beterbiev and others. But he needs to get his body acclimatized to that weight.”
Recall that the next fight Alvarez will hold in his “own” weight against Kazakhstani Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs), who will just rise to him from the middle division. It is scheduled for September 17 in Las Vegas.
Timothy Bradley explained why Canelo would beat Golovkin in the trilogy last night.
