In 2013, Canelo Alvarez took up the toughest test of his boxing career against Floyd Mayweather. In this bout, the young gun Alvarez was ecstatic to pull off a win, and many expected him to do so. But when the duo actually took up the ring space, it was the American boxer who crushed all his naysayers and eventually came on top to secure a win.
Back then, Alvarez was still in his early days of the sport and he was piling on to the peak with constant wins. But ‘Pretty Boy’ derailed his stint and handed over to him with his very first career loss.
However, Alvarez firmly believes if the duo fought today, he would have unquestionably defeated Mayweather.
