Canelo Appreciates Mayweather’s Support In Golovkin Situation
When Mayweather’s comments were relayed to him early Sunday morning, Alvarez told FightHype.com,
“Thank you to him. Thank you so much for his support. All the support, no matter who it comes from, is appreciated.”
Alvarez also said he wasn’t surprised Mayweather came to his defense because he believes they developed a mutual respect from Mayweather’s majority-decision victory over Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs) in September 2013.
“It doesn’t surprise me because he knows that when I was 23 years old, I gave him a fight where he couldn’t do a lot of things he does to everyone else.,” Alvarez said after stopping England’s Liam Smith (23-1-1, 13 KOs) in the ninth round Saturday night at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. ”I think I won his respect. And coming from a fighter like him, who is going to be a legend in this sport, his support is appreciated.” The retired Mayweather (49-0, 26 KOs) told FightHype.com he likes Alvarez’s chances to beat Golovkin.
