Atlas: “In fact, Alvarez has 4-5 defeats”

The famous American trainer Teddy Atlas said that in reality the absolute world champion in the second middleweight Saul Alvarez lost more fights than are recorded on his record.

“There is no doubt about how influential Canelo was, that he is the goose that lays the golden eggs, that he brings in a huge amount of pay-per-view and helps other fighters who fought him, just like Muhammad Ali did in his time. If you fight Canelo, then you get paid more.

But putting Canelo at the top of the great Mexican fighters is sacrilege. You, Canelo, lost to Golovkin twice - in the first fight and in the second too. I don't care what you say there. Besides, you probably lost to Erislandy Lara. You were dominated by Mayweather and Bivol. Should I develop the topic further? To be honest about it, he has 4-5 losses,” Atlas said in his podcast.
