Canelo Alvarez claims that he was only “50%“Due to the injury for fighting the lightweight heavyweight champion, Dmitry Bivol in 2022 Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 KO) says that he potentially wants Bivol rematch in 2026, because he wants to” show “that he is a better warrior.
Fans don’t buy it
Fans will not buy that Alvarez is losing because of an injury. It just looked like Bivol was too massive for Canelo and had a style that was livid with him. His highest strength was also an essential factor in his victory over Canelo.
The Mexican star looked exhausted after three rounds. He says he had a hand and knee injury that prevented him from sparring or running during the camp.
Inventing excuses three years after defeat makes Alvarez look somehow pathetic. Even if he had all these problems, why didn’t he try to avenge his loss throughout all these years?
Bivol (24-1, 12 KO) dominated Alvarez, winning a 12-round unanimous decision in a fight, which seemed much more one-sided than narrow results returned by Nevada judges on May 7, 2022.
If Canelo loses another fight with William Scull on May 3 or a match against Crawford on September 13, there will not be much interest to escalate to 175 for a rematch from Bivol. Alvarez might as well stay in 168 to continue his glorious pension route.

Bivol’s loss clearly bothers Alvarez because he would not be not to quit it now. This failure probably persecuted Canelo and he is Gumped in failure, Playing him in his head like an ancient movie.
50% of the claim
“I have 50% of my skills there,” said Alvarez about the fact that it is only half -capacity to fight Bivol in 2022. “Without a state, nothing, because I can’t escape and I can’t throw as I do or do pads and sparring.”
Canelo shouldn’t fight if he was only in “50%”, because fans do not believe in fighters when they give excuses after failures. Nobody would blame Alvarez if he put Bivol to the fight until he was vigorous.
“You can ask Alex Govski. He was there, helping me in this fight. I have a month without sparring because of mine [injured] hand. Yes, “said Canelo, asked if his wounded knee prevented him from running during the Bivol camp.
“I made a good fight, a very good fight, but not enough. Oh, he is good. He is a very good warrior. You see and everyone says:” Oh, he is nothing. He chose a warrior. ” He is a good warrior;
