Canelo: Mayweather's Style Doesn't Make For Attractive Fights


Floyd Mayweather Jr will come out of retirement to box UFC star Conor McGregor in August, but Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin are unenthused.

After constant posturing and trash-talking, Mayweather and McGregor finally agreed to a bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on August 26.

The fight has been met with excitement among fans but criticism from boxers, including Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya, who branded it an "embarrassment" before plans were finalised.

Mayweather-McGregor will take place three weeks before the unbeaten Golovkin defends his WBC, WBA, IBO and IBF middleweight titles against Canelo in the same city, and the same venue, on September 16.



And the Kazakh believes there is only one boxing match fans should get excited about.

"Every day there's a show in Vegas and everybody understands the true boxing fight is September 16, not before," Golovkin said after being pressed for his take on the fight.

Canelo asserted that his meeting with Golovkin is the only "real fight" on the calendar at the moment.

"I really don't want to comment about that fight. Our fight is a real fight, it's a fight you demanded and wanted," said Canelo, via a translator.

"It's two fighters at their best, at their peak, and you know what you're going to get."

Mayweather inflicted the only defeat of Canelo's 51-fight career, but the Mexican feels he has developed hugely since their encounter in September 2013 - which took place at a catch-weight of 152-pounds. Canelo was an untested fight at that time, and Mayweather had an easy time dominating him over twelve rounds of action.

Asked who has been the toughest opponent of his career, Canelo replied: "Mayweather.... Mayweather's style doesn't make for attractive fights, it's difficult to land punches. He's not aggressive, he doesn't punch hard at all. I learned a lot [from that fight] and I've grown."

For somebody who dnt hit hard he surely was waking Canelo down. Canelo was the one looking gun shy. I guess he didn't want to end up getting stopped. You can say Canelo was young and all that but he broke down when he fought Floyd. Let Floyd bully you but think you cant get bullied by GGG brehs.

Well i mean that WAS like 6-7 fights ago for Canelo so I'm sure he has grown and learned from that Mayweather ass whoopin.

Mayweather strategically broke Canelo's will, GGG ain't strategic on that regard but his constant stalking is :wow:
