Eddie Hearn’s Thoughts on Saul “Canelo” Alvarez

Eddie Hearn: “He Has to Take The Big Challenges”

“It’s gonna take something, you know, a bit like Lomachenko, where he had to almost go to a weight class really to get beat. You know, he was a featherweight, a super featherweight [and then a lightweight]. And with Canelo Alvarez, you know, he [was] a welterweight, probably a light middleweight who went to middle. Now he goes to super middle. You know he can make 160. But, you know, he has to take the big challenges. And, you know, I saw some names like Bivol and Beterbiev and, you know, you have to go out, completely outside of your weight class and comfort zone to beat Canelo Alvarez.

“You know, I mean, you saw Golovkin – two tremendous fights [versus Alvarez], very, very close. Can Golovkin do that again? Can the movement of Billy Joe Saunders cause him enough problems? But you’ve gotta hit him hard to keep him off. You know, Callum punches hard, but couldn’t put a dent in him, really, at any time. And, unfortunately, when you’ve got a fighter as good as that, who has a chin like that, it makes it very difficult.”
