"He's happy with his career". Malignaggi doubts Alvarez's motivation

Famous former American boxer and now expert Paul Malignaggi questions the motivation of absolute world champion in the second middleweight division Saul Alvarez.

"I see a fighter who is happy with his career, happy with the money he's made and his success. I see a fighter who is no longer as hungry as he used to be and doesn't show the rage that he once showed in his career. You can see that some of those things have disappeared along with the willingness to take risks. But Canelo is still a savvy veteran. He knows how to take fights and win at a high level.

A guy like Munguia who is active, hungry but vulnerable on defense can make this fight fun because he brings activity to the ring. He throws combinations in series. Canelo doesn't always see and deal with that kind of stuff. Is Alvarez able to land his punches in between Munguia's punches like he's shown many times in his career?" - Malignaggi said.

Recall that the Alvarez vs. Munguia fight will take place on May 4 in Las Vegas.
