Canelo Alvarez Says He’d ‘Beat Floyd Mayweather’ if He Had This

Back in 2013, a young Canelo Alvarez entered the boxing ring against the greatest boxer of all time, Floyd Mayweather. ‘TBE’ was an undeniable favorite in that fight, but Alvarez, too, held some weight to his name.

Alvarez was a young, fast, and accurate boxer, who was getting bigger with every fight. That said, his team thought it was the right time for him to lock horns with ‘Money’.

Unfortunately for him, he lost his undefeated streak with an MD loss and barely had any moments in the ring. Eight years later, the Mayweather loss remains the only blemish on Alvarez‘s decorated career.

Recently, Es News broke one of Canelo’s recent statements, wherein he spoke about the Floyd Mayweather fight. “Canelo Says is if he knew then what He knows now “I’d beat Floyd Mayweather,” wrote Es News.

After that defeat, Canelo worked on his defense as Mayweather completely schooled him on this juncture. Moreover, he even brought in some punching variations and developed a well-rounded offensive and defensive game.

He honed this against different fighters and made adjustments to become a prolific technician.

What would happen if Canelo Alvarez faces Floyd Mayweather today?

Given Mayweather’s age and his struggles against Logan Paul, it’s clear that he wouldn’t be able to trade blows with Alvarez for 36 minutes.
