Three-time world champion Jeff Fenech says WBO #1 light middleweight Tim Tszyu has the skills and work rate to defeat undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez if they clash in the future
“I heard Tim mention not that long ago, that Canelo was beatable,” Fenech told Fox Sports’ Ben Damon. “I wouldn’t put that past him. Canelo is big and strong and throws eight to ten punches a round. Tim throws fifty or sixty or maybe more. It’s a big difference.
“Tim knows himself he will be moving up in weight. Canelo is not a massive guy for his weight division. Canelo might come down a division and Tim might go up one and, wow, I know who I would put my money on.
“People can say what they want to about Canelo. I seen a survey recently in a bout between Canelo and Hagler. The first three hundred said Hagler.”
Totally preposterous! I think Fenech is still suffering from the royal thrashings that Holiday, Nelson and Grove laid on him…
Lol, how many guys threw 50+ punches against an explosive precision counter puncher in Canelo and were still standing. I like Tszyu and I’d root for him in this one. But honestly I see him losing in a very good scrap. TKO10 Canelo.
Guess he’s just trying to build his profile. He’s not even a beltholder at a division 2 weights below , let alone an established champ at the weight.
Exactly. His best win is, what? Dennis Hogan? Jeff Horn? I doubt he gets by Charlo. Castano isn’t a lock either. Fenech is just talking out of his behind here.
Why would someone who is undisputed at super-middle weight come down one weight (middleweight) to fight a guy that is not even established in his own weight (jr-middleweight)? Fenech is definately punchy.
Undisputed champ coming down one weight class to fight a guy that fights a full 2 weight classes below super middle and is not a belt holder is a pipe dream. Yeah, go nuts Canelo!
This fight doesn’t make any sense at the moment, Tzyu isn’t a world champ yet, is smaller and lacks the experience Canelo has. Walk in the park for Canelo..
Everyone wants the canelo lottery ticket !!! There should be a raffle of fans name to fight canelo but I would also love to fight canelo for that big payday…
Tszyu will not beat Canelo. Id like to see Canelo be more of a people’s champion and do an exhibition with Tyson early or late next year. Ko Charlo and benevitez what’s wrong with that schedule? I’m not saying Tszyu doesn’t deserve the fight and payday I’m saying canelo by decision doesn’t interest me at that weight class ty for the interesting article
that right he doesn’t deserve the fight and its never going to happen.
Fenech is not reliable in any comments that I have ever seen he is embarrassing
At this point when someone says they can beat Canelo.. it’s like “sure dude”.
…just in case he gets f-d up by Tyson he should ko the pretenders first
Yeah sorry not gonna happen. Canelo is different from all these fighters. Canelo is hungry and a beast, others are talkers and prima donnas.
Yeah he likes the payday. That’s all
Canelo has created an aura around him, just like Mike Tyson did and basically the fight is won before the first punch. And we know what happened to Mr Tyson.Doesnt hurt to dream ,not a crime to propose a hypothetical, Canelo is beatable.
Tszyu is in a much lower weight-class and is still growing as a professional boxer.
Lmao that’s why I don’t do drugs
I like Tim and can see him winning belts but he still has a way too go yet. Fenech is the same guy that has said Tim last few opponents would cause an upset or give him big problems.
Fenech is not reliable in any comments that I have ever seen he is embarrassing
Lay off the sauce Jeffy
Tzsyu is already the cash cow of the division if he wins by ko on wednesday….shut the gate
LMAO Fenech clout chasing for his guy but why hes at 154 and still not even a chammpion there??? win a title then at 160 against GGG the other Charlo or BoobBoob then maybe you can be on the radar of the undisputed 168lb champion
