Canelo: And Beat The Best and the critics claim they don’t look the same as before

At 30, Mexican superstar Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is motivated to become the first Mexican boxer to be an undisputed four-belt world champion.

In December, he captured the WBC, overweight WBA titles with a Dominion of Callum Smith to win a twelve-round decision.

He returns to Miami on Saturday night, when he faces mandatory world champion Avni Yildirim at Hard Rock Stadium.

If he wins, Canelo will return to the ring on May 8 in a unification clash with WBO world champion Billy Joe Saunders.

And a win over Saunders could lead to a fall clash with IBF world champion Caleb Plant.

When he finally finishes his career, Canelo wants to be seen as one of the best fighters in boxing history.

“When I retire we will see [where I land in history], right now I’m doing my career, I’m making history and we’ll see where I’m positioned when I retire …… yes, you have to look at it based on wins, based on numbers and championships, that’s how ‘he has to do it,’ Canelo told Erika Montoya.

In recent years, Canelo has been attacked by many critics, because they do not believe he is facing the best there is.

Canelo disagrees, explaining that he confronts the best there are and makes them look ordinary.

“Almost all the criticism is unfair. Because when I win the best they say the opponent didn’t look the same as in the past. Why is this happening? Because with me they have an opponent who doesn’t allow them to do anything, an opponent who nullifies them. [The critics] they want to find the weak side for everything, they never give credit. But I’m used to that, ”Canelo said.
