Oscar De La Hoya: ‘Canelo, You’re Really Making The Wrong Enemies’

It’s Thursday, which means, you guessed it, Oscar De La Hoya’s Clap Back Thursdays as the Golden Boy unleashes another two minutes of hell on Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Edgar Berlanga. It is no secret that De La Hoya and Canelo have a deep hatred for one another, but lately, De La Hoya has found every little moment to throw shots at the unified super middleweight champion.

With all of the talk about Canelo vs. Berlanga and Canelo vs Crawford, De La Hoya took a moment to address those topics while adding his two cents to the situation.

“This actually might be my favorite one so far. So it turns out I’m not the only one that thinks Canelo is an arrogant piece of sh*t. Turki Alalshikh recently revealed that Canelo refused to meet with him in person and isn’t entertaining any deals to be done with him. Why? Because he’s outpriced himself so much that the Saudis don’t want to even deal with him. And it’s all because he will do anything not to fight David Benavidez. Look, Turki is trying to make the best fights everyone wants to see and Canelo continues to take the fights that no one wants to see.

That takes me to Edgar Berlanga, who is fighting Canelo on September 14. Now, he claims he has a whole country behind him. Edgar, bro, you’re from Brooklyn. I think I’m more Puerto Rican than you are, and I only lived there for six years. Puerto Rico doesn’t claim you bro. As I said weeks ago, this fight will not do well on September 14. Not only because the matchup is okay, but because they are going up against the UFC’s debut at the Sphere in Las Vegas. Now that’s a spectacle that everyone and their mother has been waiting to see since it opened up about a year ago. And who is funding it and making it all happen? Turki Alalshikh. Canelo, you’re really making the wrong enemies, but you know what, f*ck you.”

De La Hoya has made this weekly event a “must-see” as it fuels those on social media who love to get into the boxing drama. Who will catch some strays next week? I guess we have to tune in and see on Oscar De La Hoya’s social media accounts.
