De La Hoya reveals who is the 2nd-Best at 160 after Canelo Alvarez

Canelo Alvarez’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya considers Daniel Jacobs the second-best boxer in the sport at 160 pounds after Canelo Alvarez. “That absolutely adds intrigue,” De La Hoya told BoxingScene.com on Thursday. “This is a pick-em fight. Daniel Jacobs, after Canelo, is probably the best middleweight around. There’s no doubt about it. He’s got speed and the willpower, and he’s hungry to win. This is a real fight and, if you ask me, it worries me. But that’s who Canelo is. I’m telling you, Canelo is the best fighter on the planet because he fights the very best.” Alvarez announced Thursday through his Twitter account that a deal had been completed for him and Jacobs to meet in a middleweight title unification fight on May 4 in Las Vegas, that DAZN will stream live, probably from T-Mobile Arena.
