Earlier, the American veteran criticized the Mexican for not wanting to fight WBC interim belt holder David Benavides: "You don't respect the legacy of all the greatest Mexican fighters. They fought the best of the best without prioritizing the money factor. It's a disgrace to boxing, a disgrace to Mexico. I would take the fight with Benavides if I were him and prove to everyone that I am the strongest fighter. Canelo is talented, but unfortunately he lacks courage. It's a shame."
"I would respect his opinion if he was sober," - responded Alvarez.
Recall that Alvarez will share the ring with compatriot Jaime Munguia on May 4 in Las Vegas, USA.
