In this video interview caught by FightHub, Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn breaks down how he views the upcoming middleweight clash between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin…
Hearn on Canelo-GGG:
“I don’t think [Canelo’s] strong enough. I don’t see many beating Golovkin at middleweight. I think Alvarez is a fantastic fighter, and I watched him back against Liam Smith who, I know you guys don’t really know a lot about Liam Smith but he’s a good fighter but he’s not elite world level but…Canelo is a great fighter.
On Kell Brook’s performance against GGG:
“I think he was fantastic, I thought if he didn’t break his eye socket that fight would’ve gone deep, maybe points. I’m not saying he would’ve won but I think it would’ve been a different fight and we always knew he could do that. He was at a disadvantage in size but we knew the disadvantage wouldn’t be that much but GGG’s a beast – he cuts you off…I said to Kell the other day ‘how hard does GGG punch?’ and he went ‘Pffft’ as if to say ‘hard.’
