Canelo Alvare z is confident he could beat heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk if the fight was made one pound above the cruiserweight limit.
Four-weight world champion Alvarez moves back up to light heavyweight this Saturday when he challenges WBA titleholder Dmitry Bivol. The Mexican started his career at 140lbs but has continued to move up weight classes and would be willing to face Usyk at heavyweight.
Talks of a fight between pound-for-pound No.1 Alvarez and Usyk first came after the Mexican looked to move up to cruiserweight and fight world titleholder Ilunga Makabu. Usyk is a former undisputed cruiserweight champion who has only fought three times at heavyweight as a professional.
