CANELOIgnacio Beristáin considered that Saúl Canelo Álvarez, will have in his combat against Floyd Mayweather the great opportunity to become big in boxing.

The trainer Ignacio Beristáin considered that the Mexican citizen Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez, Superwelter Champion of the WBC will have in his combat against the U.S. citizen Floyd Mayweather the great opportunity to "become big" in boxing.

Álvarez, of 22 years, will confront the 14th of September in Las Vegas against Mayweather Jr., of 36 years, and currently mentioned as the best pound for pound fighter in the world.

"He has the quality (Álvarez) and now he will have the chance to become big and show the people that he is a great fighter", declared Beristáin.

The manager, career guide of the Mexican Champion Juan Manuel Márquez, who fought against Mayweather, in September of 2009, pointed out that the U.S. boxer will be a very though rival for the Mexican champion.

"Floyd is a boxer who in his fights is totally defensive and that creates many problems for his rivals. You think you can, but when you are face to face against him on the ring, the crosswords is in Chinese" he said.

He qualified Mayweather as the "super favorite" but said that 'el Canelo' Álvarez and his team have "the great opportunity to win and give the world, not only Mexico, a surprise, the biggest, but I have a lingering doubt of whether he can manage the defensive style of Mayweather".

Beristáin said that if the boxer from Guadalajara imposes himself on Floyd, it will be an achievement that is "sensational for Mexican boxing".

The 73 year old manager qualified 'Canelo', also a Superwelter monarch of the World Boxing Council (WBC), as a great fighter, but considered that he has not yet entered his maturity stage.

The combat in between Mayweather and Álvarez, pacted in 152 pounds (69 kilograms), will be a clash of undefeated as the first one registers 44 triumphs, 26 through knockout, and the second 42, 30 before the limit, with a canceled combat.
