Canelo: I beat the best and critics claim that they do not look the same as before

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

In December, he won the WBC, WBA super middleweight titles with a dominance of Callum Smith for a twelve-round decisive victory.

He was back in Miami on Saturday night, when he faced mandatory world champion Avni Yildirim at Hard Rock Stadium.

If he wins, Canelo will then return on May 8 in a unification battle 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 his career finally ends, Canelo wants to be considered one of the best fighters in boxing history.

‘When I retire, we’ll see [where I land in history], now I’m making 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 victories, based on numbers and championships, that’s how to do it, ”Canelo told Erika Montoya.

In the last few years, many critics have been under fire from Canelo – because they do not believe he is facing the very best.

Canelo disagrees with this, explaining that he sees the best out there, and they look ordinary.

“Almost all of the criticism is unfair. Because when I beat the best, they say that the opponent did not look the same as in the past. Why is this happening? Because with me, they have an opponent who does not allow them to do anything, an opponent who cancels them. [The critics] want to find the weak side for everything, never give them credit. But I’m used to it, ‘Canelo said.
