"No Chance." Oscar De La Hoya Names the Fighter Canelo Will Never Beat

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya has warned his former client, WBA, WBC, and WBO super middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KOs), against taking a rematch with undisputed light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol (24-1, 12 KOs).

"He will never beat Bivol. No chance at all. Styles make fights. As much as I would love to see the Mexican win, he simply can’t beat Bivol," said Oscar De La Hoya.

In May 2022, Canelo suffered a unanimous decision loss to Bivol in their first encounter.

Alvarez is set to return to the ring on May 3, facing IBF super middleweight champion William Scull.

Meanwhile, on February 22, Dmitry Bivol defeated Artur Beterbiev by majority decision in their rematch, becoming the undisputed light heavyweight champion.
