Month: April 2024

Canelo Alvarez will face Jaime Munguia on May 5th but the fans are already pondering about his next fight after Munguia. So, who’s next? The name on everyone’s lips? Terence Crawford. A potential super fight between the two champions would be a dream come true for boxing purists. But there’s a catch – Crawford needs to climb three weight classes just to make it into Canelo’s domain.

Canelo’s recent fights haven’t exactly quelled the critics’ fire. Since many fans crave the David Benavidez fight, the undisputed super middleweight champion finds himself at a crossroads whether to face Crawford or give Benavidez a shot at his title. However, Juan Manuel Marquez, a champion in four weight classes, warns Terence Crawford before jumping weights to take on Canelo Alvarez. He believes it would give him a lot of advantages over Crawford, and ‘Bud’ shouldn’t even try to get into such a fight.

Terence Crawford advised not to venture beyond super welterweight

Boxing legend Juan Manuel Marquez has thrown his hat into the ring – well, not literally – with his thoughts on the potential Canelo Alvarez-Terence Crawford megafight. Marquez, a man who has stared down greats like Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather, brings a wealth of experience to the table. Marquez, thus, questioned the wisdom of Crawford jumping two weight classes on FightHype just to fight Canelo. “Crawford’s a great fighter,” Marquez acknowledged, “but we need to realize weight classes exist for a reason.”

His stance is clear. A significant weight disparity gives Canelo a hefty advantage. He mentioned, “Crawford needs to fight at the welterweight division, or at super-welterweight maximum because Canelo would have too many advantages.” Marquez argued that Crawford should stay put at welterweight or the super welterweight divi

From a Labrador’s expert opinion that dogs should be fed cheese to a cat saying hi via a security camera, pets have sparked plenty of joy this week.

Besides pets that have found online fame in viral videos, we love sharing our readers’ pets in our Newsweek Pet of the Week feature.

If you want your pet to be featured, follow the instructions at the end of this story.

The Winner

This week’s winner is Canelo, a dog rescued from Louisiana who is now living in his forever home in New York.

Owner Evelin Portillo welcomed him into the family from Port Washington’s North Shore Animal League, and he has a seriously friendly personality.

“When we take him for walks, he thinks he is going to be pet by everyone he encounters,” Portillo told Newsweek.

Canelo loves praise more than food, and Portillo said the rewards of being his owner are endless.

“He is our second puppy,” she said. “We learned how to handle a puppy from our previous dog. He gave our family 15 years of love and laughs.”

The Finalists

Our first finalist this week is a bulldog, Scottie, who lives in Alabama with owner LaSha’ Page. Almost 4 years old, he has grown into a huge 120-pound pup.

When he was younger, he had to have surgery on both of his hind legs to correct an injury to torn ligaments, similar to an ACL injury in humans.

“This long period of inactivity after the surgery resulted in this substantial weight gain and now makes it more difficult than normal gain to get rid of because it’s very stressful on his body,” Page told Newsweek.

With his injury fixed, Scottie is now doing well.

“He’s happy and, besides overweight, very healthy and loves to play,” his owner said. “I’d love for you to let

I’m Riding With Ryan Garcia
… ‘He’s A Good Kid’

Ryan Garcia might be causing a ruckus on the internet, but there’s one guy who’s sticking by his side no matter what — ’cause Canelo Alvarez tells TMZ Sports he’s got the young superstar’s back amid his bizarre social media antics.

“You know, he’s a good kid and we don’t need to judge him,” Canelo told TMZ Sports. “He’s a good kid and this is the moment when you need to support your friends and, I know, we have a lot of issues before but … I don’t care.”

Of course, Ryan has been making a ton of noise leading up to his April 20 fight against Devin Haney … spewing wild conspiracies and promising free BBLs — among other wild proclamations.

Canelo isn’t distancing himself from Ryan, however — telling us the Golden Boy mega-fighter will be just fine.

In fact, Canelo says he knows Ryan as a person … and knows despite what it looks like, he is well aware of what the King is like deep down.

“This is a moment when you need to support your friends,” Canelo added.
