Famous American trainer Teddy Atlas commented on the popular opinion that absolute world champion in the second middleweight division Saul Alvarez is the greatest boxer in the history of Mexico.
"Alvarez is being called the greatest Mexican in history and it's ridiculous. I understand he's very talented, I agree with that, and he's been in boxing for a long time. He's only 33 years old, but he started his career at the age of 16. Saul has won a lot of different titles, but he has always been good at picking his opponents. You can afford to do that if you are a money making guy. It happens, and not only in boxing," - said Atlas on his YouTube channel.
Recall that Alvarez will fight against Jaime Munguia on May 4 in Las Vegas.
