Talking about the legendary Juan Manuel Marquez, the champion of four weight classes and the winner of Manny Pacquiao himself. Dynamite expressed dissatisfaction with the choice John Ryder (32-5, 18 KOs) as Canelo's next opponent, preferring to see him in the ring David Benavidez (27-0, 23 KOs).

“Ryder is an average boxer. When you are a world champion, you have to fight everyone, be it a Mexican or a European. As a champion, I would like to show the world that I am at a higher level, that I am invincible, ”said the 49-year-old veteran.

“Criticism against me has always been, is and will be,” Canelo replied to this. - This is a division into envious people and those who support me, the benefit of the latter is greater. Marquez has always envied me, but his words don't hurt me, I don't take them into account."
