Canelo won't carry Usman like Floyd carried Conor - Daniel Cormier doesn't want to see Kamaru Usman vs. Canelo

Kamaru Usman has been gunning for a pound-for-pound best showdown against Canelo Alvarez inside the squared circle for quite some time. However, Daniel Cormier, for one, is hardly enthused at the prospect of watching this matchup.

While in conversation with Ryan Clark on the latest edition of ESPN MMA's DC & RC Show, Cormier recalled Conor McGregor's failed attempt at overcoming Floyd Mayweather.

'DC' warned Usman that Alvarez would not do him the favor of pulling his punches. He further expressed great concern towards 'The Nigerian Nightmare's' well-being should he participate in a boxing match against Canelo Alvarez.

"I mean, that's my brother. I love [Kamaru Usman] to death and I would love for him to get the bag. But the reality is this: you cannot fight Canelo Alvarez and let me tell you one reason. The main reason you can't fight Canelo; Canelo is a Mexican fighter with a ton of pride [Ryan Clark] he ain't gonna carry him like many people believe Floyd Mayweather did for Conor McGregor. Canelo will try to hurt you," said Cormier.
