“I punch just as hard as Canelo. It would just be a matter of time before the same thing happened.

“I respect Amir for moving up in weight and fighting him.

“In their mind I think they were going down the line of it was a win-win; he was up against it, against a heavier guy, so it didn’t harm anything.”
