Canelo Alvarez has received some harsh criticism from ex-world champion Paulie Malignaggi over his upcoming opponent.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Fans<\/p>\n

The Mexican superstar will\u00a0next face\u00a0Jaime Munguia on his traditional May 4 ‘Cinco De Mayo’ date, despite David Benavidez calling for a blockbuster showdown for the undisputed titles at 168lbs.<\/p>\n

And former two-weight world champion\u00a0Malignaggi\u00a0has weighed in on the superstar’s decision to focus on his own planned path.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s\u00a0Canelo\u2019s fault because he needs to do the right thing. He\u2019s a sportsman,\u201d Malignaggi said.<\/p>\n

“The hamster wheel has to turn. If you jam it, you set a bad precedent for everyone else. That\u2019s why we have a generation that hasn\u2019t fought anybody.<\/p>\n

“Imagine if\u00a0Muhammad Ali acted like Canelo. Muhammad Ali fought everyone in their prime, and that\u2019s why boxing became so big.<\/p>\n

“In the 80s, boxing was all over network TV, with [strong] ratings. Why? Because in the previous generation, Ali did what Ali did.<\/p>\n

“He didn\u2019t win every fight, but he took on every tough opponent \u2013 the biggest risk he could find.<\/p>\n

“George Foreman,\u00a0Ken Norton, the way he did it is the way a champion does it. He was not bigger than the sport. He didn\u2019t act that way.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody looks at him [Ali] as the greatest of all time, for multiple reasons. You have a responsibility when you\u2019re at that level. It\u2019s not, \u2018You\u2019re at that level, take advantage of it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Ali is considered arguably the greatest boxer of all-time having left a legacy of brilliance inside and outside of the ring, touching gloves with his fellow greats regularly in his career.<\/p>\n

It is likely no-one will reach his legacy ever in the sport, but Canelo is making his own strides to go down in the history books.<\/p>\n

Canelo Alvarez responds to Floyd Mayweather’s glowing praise ahead of next fight against Jaime Mungia<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The 33-year-old is still fighting some truly fierce competitors, but is not keen on the fight with Benavidez – insisting he would\u00a0need to be paid\u00a0in excess of $150million [\u00a3120m].<\/p>\n

His potential rival’s team indicated a $55m [\u00a344m] offer had been tabled to the 168lbs champion, but Canelo’s trainer Eddy Reynoso\u00a0denied the claim.<\/p>\n

Alvarez has been linked with a whole host of other leading names including\u00a0Terence Crawford.<\/p>\n

‘Bud’ has\u00a0piled on weight\u00a0since his win over\u00a0Errol Spence Jr, and is expected to make a switch to 160lbs in his next fight.<\/p>\n

The American’s trainer Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre has even suggested Crawford is planning an assault on Alvarez’s 168lb crown before the end of the year.<\/p>\n
