He has won a total of 17 world titles across four weight classes and has successfully defended his titles 12 times.
Canelo is known for his exceptional hand speed, footwork, and power, which have allowed him to defeat some of the greatest boxers of his time. His most notable victories include wins over two Hall-of-Famers, Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley, as well as Gennady Golovkin, Daniel Jacobs, Sergey Kovalev, Callum Smith, Billy Joe Saunders and Liam Smith.
Canelo made his professional debut at just 15 years old and went on to win 3 more consecutive fights after the debut, including 2 wins via stoppage. He had his first world title fight at the age of 20 against Matthew Hatton for the super-welterweight WBC (vacant) title. He defeated Hatton via 12 round unanimous decision to become the super-welterweight champion of the world. Since then, Canelo has dominated the super-welterweight, middleweight, and super-middleweight divisions.
One of Canelo's most notable attributes is his resilience, as evidenced in his two losses. Both defeats were via decision, and he has never been stopped. His first loss came against the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. in a highly-anticipated bout. Canelo lost via 12 round majority decision, ending his 42-fight win streak. His second loss was against the British boxer, Billy Joe Saunders, and was a close fight that went the distance. Canelo lost via unanimous decision.
On September 17, 2022, Canelo fought Gennady Golovkin in a highly anticipated rematch for the super-middleweight undisputed championship title. Canelo won the fight via 12 round unanimous decision, and successfully defended his undisputed title. This fight confirmed Canelo's status among the all-time boxing greats.
Canelo's next scheduled fight is against John Ryder on May 6, 2023. Ryder is a British boxer with a professional record of 31 wins, 6 losses, and 2 draws. Nevertheless, Canelo remains the heavy favorite heading into the matchup.
In conclusion, Canelo Álvarez is a boxing legend and one of the greatest fighters of all time. With 17 world titles across four weight classes and impressive victories over some of the greatest boxers of his generation, Canelo has cemented his legacy in the sport. His next fight against John Ryder is sure to be a spectacle, as Canelo continues to prove why he is considered one of the all-time greats.
