Former world middleweight champion turned commentator Carl Froch has responded to the question of who would win in a street fight - Conor McGregor or Saul Alvarez.
On his YouTube channel Froch said:
You always think a street fight is going to be favorable to the MMA fighter but I'm not so sure. I think the boxer would do the business on the street. I mean, if Conor McGregor gets a good kick in and takes Canelo to the ground, you'd think he'd have the grapple [advantage]. I think Canelo Alvarez is too big, too strong, he'll catch McGregor. It's a close one on the street. They are not going to be fighting on the street anytime soon, but I'm going to pick the boxer over the MMA star Conor McGregor.
McGregor hasn't stepped into the octagon since July 2021, when he lost by first-round TKO to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. He has 22 wins and six losses on his record.
Alvarez last fought in May 2024, defeating Jaime Munguia by unanimous decision. He has 61 wins (39 by knockout), two losses and two draws on his record.
