Canelo Alvarez has shared the ring with many huge punchers, but he’s provided a surprising answer when asked who had the most power.
The Mexican icon is currently preparing for a September showdown with Edgar Berlanga and the Puerto Rican is famed for his heavy artillery.
Before that battle, Canelo can look to previous experiences against dangerous fighters as he’s took punches from many great fighters.
Canelo faced James Kirkland in 2015, a fight he won in three rounds, and he’s credited the Texan as being the hardest puncher he’s ever faced.
“Kirkland,” said Canelo when speaking at a 2022 press conference when asked who hit him the hardest
“It was unbelievable. I felt the punches right here (raising his arm).”
