Okay, so here’s the thing about Canelo Alvarez. The guy? Man, he’s been dominating the boxing world since we all stopped chatting about Mayweather. Truly raked in cash and also… yep, he’s proven he’s top-tier. He’s knocked down big names—like a lot of them. Miguel Cotto, Gennady Golovkin, you know, the kind of folks who don’t just stumble into the ring. Oh, and Sergey Kovalev, Caleb Plant, Amir Khan, Callum Smith—yep, all knocked off by Canelo. Hall of Fame soon, I think? Whenever he decides to hang up the gloves.
Now, here’s the twist. There’s this vibe that our guy might be ready to call it a day. Not saying he is, but maybe? This weekend? It’s Canelo vs. William Scull in Saudi Arabia. Why is this interesting? Just ’cause Canelo’s in it, honestly. Upset? Hmm, don’t hold your breath. But fall’s full of whispers—Canelo vs. Terence Crawford might actually happen. Crazy, I know.
If that fight takes off, eyy, it’s gonna be one weird matchup but oh-so juicy money-wise. Crawford, mostly a junior middleweight kind of guy, squaring up against the super middleweight champ, Canelo? Talk about a mismatch that still makes you sit up because Crawford’s just that good. Risky, right? Canelo stumbles, and it’s awkward for him—but if Crawford loses? No biggie, his record’s still golden.
But dodging challenges? Nah, that’s not Canelo. Remember that Golovkin fight? Maybe it took foreeeever to happen, but wow, it was something else. And sure, if he’s dodging David Benavidez right now, well, Canelo hasn’t exactly quit boxing yet, has he? The guy’s been a solid ambassador for the sport. If Canelo takes on Crawford, Benavidez, or angles for Dmitry Bivol, he’d be sticking to his you-ain’t-seen-nothing-yet guns. Yeah, Canelo’s career? Looks like it’s winding down. Let’s enjoy the magic while we can.
