Chris Eubank Jr. he could be Canelo Alvarez's next opponent in September. Canelo's interest in entering a major market like the United Kingdom opens the door to Eubank Jr.'s dream fight.
A Desirable Opportunity
It's no secret that all fighters between 168 and 175 pounds want to fight Alvarez. Edgar Berlanga, David Benavidez, Jermall Charlo and many others.
For some boxers, that fight is like winning the lottery. Indeed, none of Canelo's new rivals ever thought of winning the money they won in those fights. In this regard, Eubank Jr. he said, “It's hard to challenge him. You can't call Canelo Alvarez. If he wants to come and fight, he will fight. He will study the options and do whatever he wants.”
The “Canelo Effect”
“Canelo makes the rules, he does what he wants, he gains weight, he loses weight. He has belts in different divisions and he does everything that other fighters can't do.”
As in any professional game, there has to be money on the table. It's hard work. What is unacceptable is that Eubank Jr says that Canelo is not only a boxer but also a BOSS who does what he wants, he should not be called by anyone. It gives the impression that he is going to get into the ring and fight a battle that is already lost.
It's funny for a boxer to express these things. It's like trying to fight a BOSS and think about beating him. However, you go up to fight for money, and if so, it is very difficult for other fans to appreciate your efforts and give the seriousness of your fights.
Floyd Mayweather model
The Floyd model is working for Canelo. It's been a long time since boxing fans bought their PPV fights to see him lose. Many experts and fans agree that he has lost fights in the past that appear on his record as victories. Then, the pain of seeing him lose raises the sales numbers, and from there comes the money to pay astronomical figures to his opponents.
For now, it looks like Eubank Jr. will be the beneficiary. Berlanga, Benavidez, and Charlo, and a long list of candidates must wait for their turn if they ever reach it.
It's hard to see Alvarez fighting in a structured way. Trying to analyze them under the boundaries of sports is very difficult because their opponents seem to be different boxers when facing Saul. Others, like Eubank Jr., are talking in private about the money the war has generated.
Eubank Jr. he does not lie; the Mexican fighter does what he wants. Organizations and regulations don't apply to a boxer who makes that much money. You are part of the promotion of the event if you can manage that, the TV decisions, and the fight site. No wonder you influence the results.
