Oscar De La Hoya slams Canelo Alvarez as a ‘Piece of S***’: ‘You’re making the wrong enemies’
Amid his distinct spat with both promoter, Turki Alalshikh, and former two-division UFC champion, Conor McGregor – super middleweight star, Canelo Alvarez has been hit out at by promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, who claimed the Mexican is “making the wrong enemies”.
Canelo, a current super middleweight champion, is slated to return to action next month in Las Vegas, taking on unbeaten title challenger, Edgar Berlanga with undisputed WBA, WBO, and WBC super middleweight crowns on the line against the New York native.
Sidelined since May of this year, Guadalajara native, Canelo Alvarez most recently turned in an impressive unanimous decision win over compatriot, Jaime Munguia to successfully defend his crown over the course of 12 rounds.
However, amid links to a fight with both world championship stars, Terence Crawford, and David Benavidez, Canelo Alvarez has instead booked a fight with Berlanga – to the dismay of both the above-mentioned, McGregor, and Alalshikh – with the Saudi Adviser hitting out with a fiery response.

Set to return to action next month in Las Vegas, Mexican favorite, Alvarez will put his WBA, WBC, and WBO super middleweight crowns on the line on September 14. in a showdown against unbeaten contender, Berlanga. Last featuring in May in a matchup with Mexico countryman, Jaime Munguia, Alvarez extended his winning spree to four straight fights since his return to his super middleweight stomping ground, turning in a unanimous decision win at the T-Mobile Arena. Himself earning a title fight with Alvarez next month, Berlanga, who boasts an undefeated 22-0 professional record, scored a sixth round knockout win over Belfast puncher, Padraig McCrory in Orlando in his last walk to the squared circle. And sharing the stage at a pre-fight press conference this week ahead of their title matchup next month, Alvarez claimed he would stop Berlanga in the eight round in a brutal knockout with security officials keeping distant between the duo throughout. “You hit like my son,” Canelo Alvarez replied to Edgar Berlanga. “You don’t bring anything to me that I haven’t seen before. Eight rounds – mark my words. I’m not going to have compassion. These kind of motherf*ckers keep me motivated.” https://x.com/Canelo/status/1821006266686435718 “I don’t want to f*ck you up right now because money will be gone,” Canelo Alvarez explained. “I love it [when my opponent p*sses me off]. When someone gets under my skin, I make them pay the hard way. He thinks’s he has more intelligence than me and everyone I’ve fought. Come on, bro. He’s not gonna be able to touch me/. I wanna see him try.”](https://www.lowkickmma.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/MixCollage-07-Aug-2024-07-46-PM-7076-1024x536.jpg "Oscar De La Hoya slams Canelo Alvarez as a 'Piece of S***': 'You're making the wrong enemies' 3")
“I heard what Canelo said that he respects me but doesn’t like the way we do business,” Turki Alalshikh posted on his official X account. “As for him respecting me, it doesn’t matter to me if he does or not. As for the way I do business, I know why he doesn’t like it, because I only target big fights at fair prices, so of course anyone who likes big fights won’t like that.”
“And I know how he feels after losing to Bivol, so he’s been looking for easier fights ever since,” Turki Alalshikh continued. “Also, I’m not the one who’s afraid of fighting Benavidez or Crawford. Therefore, I knew he was wasting our time and making excuses with big amounts of money that can’t be paid. So I’m continuing my way to make big fights that serve the boxing world, and he’s on his way to making eash show-only fights.”
Oscar De La Hoya rekindles Canelo Alvarez spat
And in the aftermath of his clashes with Alalshikh and McGregor, Canelo has been targeted once more by rival, former world champion star, De La Hoya, who claimed he was a “piece of sh*t”.
“As I said weeks ago, this fight [Canelo Alvarez vs. Edgar Berlanga] will not do well on September 14.,” Oscar De La Hoya said on X. “Not only because the match up is okay, but because they’re 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,” De La Hoya explained. “But you know what? F*ck you.”
