De La Hoya ridiculed Alvarez's fighting style during his bout with Crawford.
Legendary boxer Oscar De La Hoya has voiced his criticism of Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez following the Mexican superstar's unanimous decision loss to Terence Crawford last weekend. De La Hoya, who was Alvarez's promoter for many years, expressed his disappointment with the result on social media, stating that Crawford made Alvarez look foolish in the fight. He also praised Crawford for taking 'the candy from the baby,' implying that he dominated Alvarez. According to De La Hoya, Alvarez's only losses have been against Floyd Mayweather, Dmitry Bivol, and Crawford. However, he did not provide any evidence or data to support his claims about the fights. De La Hoya's criticism of Alvarez does not seem to be limited to the loss to Crawford. He has been critical of Alvarez's career, stating that he has been overrated. This criticism does not seem to be based on any evidence or data. De La Hoya's criticism may have been influenced by his role as a promoter and his expectations for Alvarez's performance. It is important to note that opinions on boxing performances can be subjective, and not all boxing fans may share De La Hoya's views. Crawford, who moved up three divisions for the fight, was named The Ring Magazine Fighter of the Year in 2022. Dmitry Bivol, another boxer Alvarez lost to, is a professional boxer born in Tokmak, Kyrgyzstan, with Moldovan and Korean descent. He defeated Alvarez by unanimous decision in May 2022 for the WBA light heavyweight title. De La Hoya believes all three boxers Alvarez lost to are top-tier in the sport. He has not mentioned any specific predictions or reasons for Alvarez's losses beyond the observation that his feet were glued to the canvas and he was swinging at thin air. De La Hoya's criticism of Alvarez extends to his entire career, not just the Crawford fight. He did not provide specific reasons for Alvarez's losses beyond naming the boxers he faced. It remains to be seen how Alvarez will respond to De La Hoya's criticism and whether he will make any changes to his approach in future fights.
