Floyd Mayweather had spoken about how Canelo Alvarez is easy work. ‘Money’ claimed that he was ducking David Benavidez. Now, Canelo Alvarez has finally responded to the 50-0 boxer’s comments in a rather subtle manner.
He retweeted a post that said, “This is why Floyd is so jealous of @Canelo and so salty and bitter. Canelo at ONLY 31 is already surpassing Floyd’s ENTIRE career. Where was Floyd at 31? At 31 he was no where near where Canelo is at right now! By the time Canelo is done, Canelo WILL BE FAR AHEAD of Floyd.”
