SEATTLE - Former world champion Oscar de La Hoya and Saúl "Canelo" Álvarez continue to take jabs at each other. This time around, the "Golden Boy" told BoxingScene that the current super middleweight champion is on the decline and getting old, arguing that his fight against Jaime Munguia on May 4 could prove to be the end of Canelo's reign as the face of boxing.
"This is the perfect moment for Jaime Munguía. He's young, unbeaten, he is Mexican, has a good chin...on the other side, Canelo is a great fighter, no question about it, but he is old," De La Hoya said.
