On December 8th Bob Arum will turn 88 years young, and he is full of strength and energy. Recently, the famous promoter commented on skills and talents of Saul Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KOs), the leader of the majority P4P ratings, against the virtuosos of Top Rank promotional organization, who are battling with the Mexican for the title of the best fighter in the world.

"Is Canelo the best fighter in the world? No. I think Terence Crawford and Vasyl Lomachenko are more talented and better boxers. Is Canelo a great boxer? Yes. But it's not only who you are fighting, but also the talent that you have. Canelo has the talent that we have seen," Arum said.

"Does Canelo have more talent than Marvin Hagler? I doubt it. Lomachenko and Crawford can become not only the best in their weight categories at the moment. They can become the best in history. That's the difference, but there is no doubt that Canelo is one of the best," the veteran of boxing business said.
