Masvidal has been on a meteoric rise in the world of mixed martial arts this year, and since beating Nate Diaz earlier this month, the Miami-based fighter has turned his attention to the boxing world, with his sights set firmly on Canelo Alvarez.
It is fair to say that Jorge Masvidal has no shortage of confidence in his abilitiesand it is highly likely that he does truly believe he could cause problems for Canelo in a boxing match.
However, it must be noted that at 29-years-of-age, Alvarez is at the very top of the boxing game - as demonstrated by the world championships he holds across four different weight classes.
Masvidal appears to be buoyed by Conor McGregor’s valiant performance when he boxed Floyd Mayweather in 2017. However, Mayweather was 40 years old and coming out of retirement when that fight took place. Canelo would surely be far more of a threat to any MMA fighter looking to test themselves in ‘The Sweet Science’.
