Penning a story on Canelo Alvarez, seriously, he is the last fighter who was developed under the 'old' system of fighting on regional networks, then moving up to cable, and a premium network and if good enough, pay-per-view. It was an organic process that weeded out those who weren't good enough.
And he became relevant through activity and longetivity. He will have over 70 fights when his career is over. The next generation, most will struggle to get to 40, much less 50. This is how this became a niche sport.
I really think Canelo might be the last of his kind. #boxing
@naoyainoue_410 The Japanese are fighting the fights while Bam is still using weight class business as a delay tactic @YaMammasSancho . You were right. 🤦♂️
