However, he has already made hundreds of millions of dollars in his career, has reached the highest peaks in the sweet science, and probably wants to preserve his health as much as possible for the rest of his life after retirement. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_z1bhvqgh3\">Therefore, there may be no better time than right now for Canelo to walk off into the sunset.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"base_1emrqjj-o_O-initial_fzbddc-o_O-style_1a1csmw\" alt=\"Canelo Alvarez\" title=\"Canelo Alvarez\"\/><\/p>\n<p>IMAGO \/ Hoganphotos<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_9q9na9rlr\">One person who doesn&#8217;t want Canelo to fight anymore is Ronnie Shields, a legendary trainer who has worked with names like Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, and David Morrell Jr. in his career. Shields said as much when speaking with Fight Hub TV on September 24. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_mnv9txd3h\">&#8220;The end is near for Canelo, and I just think that Crawford was too fast for him, especially in the southpaw position. We all know Canelo has problems with the southpaws. Canelo, man, had a great career. When it\u2019s over, it\u2019s over. And right now, I don\u2019t feel he should fight anymore,&#8221; Shields said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_vtrfoc8vk\">MORE: <a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1jkhren\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/boxing\/terence-crawford-stripped-of-wba-title-belt-in-telling-career-move\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Terence Crawford Stripped Of WBA Title Belt In Telling Career Move<br \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_0c4ckge71\">\u201cHe had one of the best careers any fighter could ever have. He\u2019s done everything he\u2019s set out to do. What\u2019s next? To prove what? He has nothing to prove; he\u2019s already proved everything. And I think right now the door is closed, he should shut it himself and say, \u2018You know what? I had a great career. enough is enough.\u2019<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_fg9cd1ttt\">\u201cYou can\u2019t beat Father Time. You can\u2019t beat it,&#8221; Shields added. &#8220;No younger trainer or no older trainer can help him be anything other than what he already is right now. You\u2019ve seen the best of Canelo, and you\u2019re seeing the worst of him. This is it, it\u2019s over. His body is telling him, \u2018Canelo, it\u2019s over. Let\u2019s go enjoy life.\u2018&#8221; <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_rwxd1ee9v\">Only Canelo knows what his future holds right now. But there are many who are thinking the same thing as Shields. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_1fmnzswkq\">The Latest Boxing News<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_688hqx3pk\"><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1jkhren\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/boxing\/david-benavidez-gives-clear-stance-on-potential-super-fight-with-terence-crawford\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">David Benavidez Gives Clear Stance On Potential Super Fight With Terence Crawford<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_2zhz6aphv\"><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1jkhren\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/boxing\/eddie-hearn-and-jay-z-partnership\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Eddie Hearn&#8217;s Matchroom Boxing And Jay-Z&#8217;s Roc Nation Sports To Team Up<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_s7wzze6vz\"><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1jkhren\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/boxing\/canelo-alvarez-plummets-down-pound-for-pound-rankings-after-terence-crawford-loss\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Canelo Alvarez Plummets Down Pound-For-Pound Rankings After Terence Crawford Loss<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_908uoklyb\"><a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1jkhren\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/boxing\/jake-paul-posts-video-kissing-gervonta-davis-made-by-ai\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jake Paul Posts Video Kissing Gervonta Davis Made By AI<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canelo Alvarez is at a crossroads after he lost his undisputed super middleweight belts to Terence Crawford on&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":168518,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-168517","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-boxing","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=168517"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/168517\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/168518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=168517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=168517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=168517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
