“It’s Like You Fighting in the Super Bowl”: Danny Garcia Explains Why Canelo Alvarez Wins Despite Being the Smaller Fighter in His Weight Classes

Danny Garcia, former two-division world champion has a theory that explains why Canelo Alvarez wins his bouts although he is almost always comparatively the smaller fighter inside the ring. In recent times, the theory in question was propounded by Garcia at a time when Terence Crawford expressed his desire to fight the Undisputed Super Middleweight champion at 168 lbs.

Following his sensational victory over Errol Spence Jr., ‘Bud’ Crawford stated that he would like to put on some weight and reach the middleweight division of the sport. In his opinion, if he defeated Canelo, it would be historic since ‘Bud’ would become a three-time undisputed champion in boxing. In this context, as Fight Hub interviewed Danny Garcia, the former WBC Welterweight champion explained how Alvarez would have an advantage.

Danny Garcia bemoans that the stage is always set for Canelo Alvarez

Over the years, Alvarez has established himself as a massive star in the sport. As a result, Garcia feels with his star status, Alvarez brutally overshadows the fighters he now fights. In his opinion, every event now almost looks forward to paying homage to Canelo in the manner they showcase Alvarez. According to Garcia, this treatment that Canelo receives overwhelms the boxers he is placed against.

Likewise, Garcia said, “Remember, Canelo started his career at 147. Then went up to 154 for a long time. Even he’s the smaller guy in his weight classes when he fights. But, a lot of people [who] lose, [they] don’t lose to Canelo, they lose to the event.” “Because when you fight Canelo, the stage is set for him,” added Garcia.

In fact, he feels fighting Alvarez is equivalent to competing in the Super Bowl for the Lombardi Trophy. Likewise, the two-division world champion referred to Alvarez vs. Avni Yildirim which happened in 2021. In this event, Colombian singer J Balvin walked out Alvarez. “Like when I went, I saw J. Balvin, I saw fireworks. So, you fight him, it’s like you fighting in the Super Bowl,” he concluded.

Boxing extravaganza: J Balvin walking out Canelo

In February 2021, Canelo defended his Unified Super Middleweight against Avni Yildirim. In a boxing extravaganza, Canelo was walked out by J Balvin. While thousands of voices cried out Canelo’s name, Balvin performed his hit song Mi Gente live inside the Hard Rock stadium. And as Balvin performed, there were fireworks that welcomed Alvarez’s appearance.
