“He must see my picture and Canelo’s picture and think “people have forgotten about me”.

CA: I feel very honored to represent my country on this great holiday.
This time De La Hoya’s cart preceded the horse.
Amir Khan, the Bolton star landed a “punch” at Donald Trump for his “condescending” tweet. Hunter told him it wasn’t a smart idea. But eventually he had to fight, and when that happened, De La Hoya’s speed succumbed to Hopkins’ natural strength and power. Hunter is not convinced.
The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has earned notoriety for calling Mexicans “rapists” and advocating an all-out ban on Muslims entering the U.S. At welterweight I can deter and back up opponents with my own power but there is every chance that even when I catch Canelo with my best punches he will walk straight through them. Fighting him would give Golovkin his biggest possible payday and a shot at the lineal middleweight crown.
“We want to show him that we Mexicans come here to succeed and be victorious”. “[If] he wins, people think he should have considering Amir Khan has never fought at middleweight”.
To be a legend, Alvarez will eventually have to step in the ring and beat a fighter many consider to be the pound-for-pound best: Gennady Golovkin. And because of the weight and perceived disparity in size, they’ll both be in a position to look up or down a weight division when they next fight.
Alvarez and De La Hoya, of course, could save everyone a lot of angst and simply accept the fight with GGG if Alvarez wins Saturday.
But Canelo established his storyline. There isn’t much demand for a Mayweather-Alvarez rematch because Mayweather (49-0, 26 KOs) dominated Alvarez during their 12-round fight in September 2013.
It was in Las Vegas that Alvarez was inexplicably awarded a score of 114-114 from Judge CJ Ross when he dropped a majority decision to Floyd Mayweather on a night he was clearly out boxed, and also where he was awarded a split decision win over Erislandy Lara when many observers believe he lost.
“My record speaks for myself”, Canelo said. You look at my last 10 opponents compared to his last 10 opponents. You guys (reporters) can see.
Canelo who is the naturally bigger and stronger man coming into the fight will probably come into the ring somewhere around 175lbs Saturday night. He needs to work his way up. He frequently puts himself in a defenseless position, affording composed fighters the opportunity to freely land counterpunches and send him sprawling to the mat. Yes, he has all these knockouts, but who has he fought? Triple G took care of business last April 23 by demolishing Dominic Wade and is expected to be among the curious spectators in Las Vegas this Saturday. 32 of his 46 career victories (69%) have been by knockout.

Trump hasn’t called for a ban on natives of Kazakhstan. I’m focused and promoting the fight is a part of my job.
