“Be Careful With That”: Canelo Alvarez Warns Fans Who Claim He’s Fighting a “Nobody”

Canelo Alvarez is a great boxer who’s just been put down 2 times in his career. Well, the first one was at the hands of the boxing legend, Floyd Mayweather Jr. while the second was a bit recent against Dmitry Bivol.

But, as the whole world witnessed, it didn’t work out as planned. After the loss, Alvarez moved back to basics and completed his trilogy against Gennady Golovkin.

His upcoming fight against John Ryder is scheduled to take place on 6th May and will be his return to Mexico after 11 years. Both Alvarez and Ryder engaged with each other in a recent press conference, leading up to the fight. Meanwhile, Canelo Alvarez has been receiving criticism for being on the slide, and not in his best condition. Well, Canelo Alvarez had a message for all of those critics.
