Roy Jones, former absolute world champion in the welterweight division, advises absolute world champion in the super middleweight division Saul Alvarez to stay in this division. Jones also believes that Canelo acted rashly in agreeing to fight Dmitry Bivol in the welterweight division.
"Of course, it's better for Alvarez to stay at middleweight. I don't understand why he even moved up to welterweight and fought Dmitry Bivol. He had already beaten Sergey Kovalev, who was in the sunset of his career. Bivol was at the height of his career. They're two different beasts. He beat "Crusher" at the right time. We needed to get back down and dominate there."
Recall, Alvarez lost to Bivol by unanimous decision of the judges.
