Canelo Alvarez has taken on some major names during his boxing career.
The Mexican superstar has been at the forefront of the sport for over a decade, becoming a four-weight world champion from super-welterweight to light heavyweight in the process.
He is set for a busy 2025, first taking on IBF super-middleweight champion William Scull in May, where a victory would see WBC, WBA and WBO champion Canelo once again become undisputed at 168lbs.

Alvarez is then scheduled to turn his attention to a huge clash against fellow pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford in September, with ‘Bud’ stepping up two weight divisions from 154lbs for the bout.
The planned bout in Las Vegas is the arguably the most anticipated fight of the year, and will be the latest mega fight that Canelo has been involved in.
He’s already shared the ring with elite fighters such as Floyd Mayweather, Gennady Golovkin, Dmitry Bivol, Shane Mosley, Sergey Kovalev and Miguel Cotto, and has now admitted that one of them was better than him.
Canelo has only tasted defeat twice in his career, back in 2013 early in his career when he took on Mayweather, and then again in 2022 when he stepped up to 175lbs and fought Bivol.
Speaking to DAZN Boxing, Canelo was asked to react when he heard a better fighter than him, and conceded that Mayweather fit the bill.
“In that moment, he was better than me.”
Mayweather defeated Canelo comfortably on points in their meeting, and Alvarez has recently revealed whether he thinks his upcoming bout with Crawford is an even bigger fight.
