Who is Canelo Alvarez? | Meet THE Face of Boxing
Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez. Many fans' P4P king, often described as 'the face of boxing'. Four weight world champion; currently holding all four belts at super-middlewight. But, who is the 168lbs king, Canelo Alvarez?
From very humble beginnings in Guadalajara, Mexico, Canelo has overcome adversity and hardship at every twist and turn in a glittering career which has taken him to the sporting and commercial pinnacle of the sweet science. Having mixed it in the squared circle with the likes of Genadiy Golovkin, Miguel Cotto, Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley, Canelo has been a firm fixture in boxing's biggest PPVs for the last decade.
This is the story of a man who escaped hardship on the streets of Guadalajara to realise his dreams through an exceptional work ethic, calculated confidence and consistent strive for greatness.

Is steroid addict one word or two?

[@Rolfboyjose]

Mexicos face of boxing ? No. He’s THE face of boxing. 🥊 🇲🇽 🥊🇲🇽

[@OneOnOneBoxing]

Yes, he is definitely the face of boxing by some metrics. But there is an argument to suggest that perhaps he is being overtaken by the likes of Inoue, Fury, Garcia and Tank commercially...

[@themarathoncontinues2289]

Inoue is the p4p king but a lot of Americans don’t like watching fights under the 130 division. Garcia has all the shine right but it won’t last long unless he has another upset and tank needs another high caliber superstar boxer to help him sell a fight. Canelo doesn’t need another big name and has been the cash cow since fighting Floyd. That’s 10+ years of being the face of boxing

[@phillipjayfries6921]

⁠@@OneOnOneBoxing the fighters you listed are only successful in their respective domestic market - and none of them are at the level of canelo’s commercial success He’s the only boxer featured on the top 10 highest paid athletes Forbes list and has fighters from welterweight (147lb) to cruiserweight (200lb) lining up and begging to fight him - that’s 6 whole divisions on their knees waiting for canelo to pick them Further, Terrence Crawford, Tyson Fury, Ryan Garcia, and Tank pay to go see Canelo fight - not the other way around Matter fact, last Sat. Tank went to Canelo’s locker room and asked for a picture hoping that it will help sell his upcoming fight 😅 Tank and Ryan needed each other to reach $1M+ PPVs sold - and they only did it once - Canelo has done it at least 4 times and currently holds one of the top 5 biggest selling ppv fights in boxing history (Mayweather vs Canelo, reported $2.2M+) the world we live in today, is not the same world it was 100 yrs ago, hell it’s drastically different from the world 30y ago - it takes time but you will soon be able to reconcile the objective truth of this I am certain -cheers

[@Mrflawlesstaco]

Until they all sell the same amount as ppvs as Canelo, until they garner the same attention as canelo does there's no one who can overtake canelo as the face of boxing until he retires​@@OneOnOneBoxing

That is very much the case... But there is a bit more of an argument around this now, with the likes of Fury, Inoue, Tank and Garcia's profiles all rising rapidly in recent years.

[@alexzais1935]

Canelo is still the cash cow. So still will be the face of boxing globally until he retires. The others won’t sell fights like him as long as Canelo is around. Facts over fiction.

[@franciscokono1884]

Dude canelo is great, but he lost his first fight with ggg, and you could argue he lost the 2nd, and the fight with Lara. He is a great boxer but he has been gifted a lot of shit. So, he would have an Asterix to his name for me.

[@TheGreatestEver007]

The judges made the call not Canelo. At the time of the first fight he was still with golden boy and there has been birds whispering about how Oscar finds his way to some judges pockets. But I feel like Canelo giving GGG the trilogy is the best way to make up for those first 2 fights. GGG may have "lost" but it's hard to be mad/loser when you made $82 million in those 3 fights.

[@ismaelsantana4238]

No one cares if he lost

[@georgegonzalez1103]

A boxer that they raised to fame and fortune, by buying the fighters he has fought, with the exception of, Mayweather,Bivol and then triple GGG tha won 2 fights then sold himself for money on the third fight because he didn’t even fought let canelo win. But with all the illegal clausures.

[@terrycruise-zd5tw]

even the times he lost the judges were clearly bought too

[@thecinnamondon6878]

Wow someone lost money against canelo. Canelo is an all time great whether u like it or not. His resume is impeccable. All you can do is cry tho

[@Javv11..]

I love when y’all say all this and don’t mention, Floyd tank etc

[@terrycruise-zd5tw]

@@thecinnamondon6878 he got spanked by mayweather bivol and triple g. he looked like an amateur compared to them, like they were sparring with him

[@thecinnamondon6878]

@@terrycruise-zd5tw first he was 23 which was expected not even i thought he would win the fight. Second nelo started his career at 40 so losing to a 175 pounder isnt out of the realm. Its the equivalent of volkanoski going to up to fight mahkacheav and losing like he did. Thats what happens when you dare to be great. A risk indeed fighting a guy that has been use to that weight his entire career. Its funny you dont factor his stature and overall build. You are just those casual boxing fans that once they see a loss they dispose that entire boxer’s resume in the bin without factoring just about anything. Fickle i tell you. As for ggg, canelo legit probably had one fight at 160 before facing ggg and won the second fight. Its funny how canelo has to constantly go up in weight and fight the absolute best yet when it comes to ggg he was called out by ward to move up and challenge himself he didnt . I still highly respect ggg for his ability and one of my favorites but you dont put him in the same regard. Like i said you really exposed urself as a casual, fickle and probably only watch the jake paul exhibitions which why imma disregard you.

[@budthechud9795]

Stopped watching once the narrator said Canelo secured dominance over GGG🤣 Any boxing fan with half a brain knows that without corruption Canelo has losses to Mayweather, Lara, GGG twice and Bivol. Learn to judge fights with your own eye's and don't accept the view of someone who has a fat brown envelope sitting on their lap.

[@josemorales4884]

Cry about it 🫢😂💪🏽🇲🇽

[@silvercomet5330]

First fight was a tie, the last 2 canelo schooled triple G. Everyone knows this. And no, being able to survive canelos power punches for 12 rounds doesn’t mean the person won. Seems like triple G fans fail to understand that. I just feel bad for triple G, cuz every other boxer out there decided to duck him during his prime. That’s why I respect canelo, cuz he actually fought him unlike the other so called champions.

[@robertoreal1117]

How can you say canelo lost 2 times vs ggg when the second one it was obvious canelo won. The first 1 ill give it to ggg but then again wasnt ggg going to ko canelo? And then how can lara win by running?😂 i gues shakur is the goat in all history.

[@alexzais1935]

You should have never watched it at all you’re just another Canelo hater. You’re just hurt Canelo is the P4P King and he beat your favorite fighters. Only lost to Mayweather and Bivol. Bivol 2 will be the deciding factor. Keep crying hater.

[@albert12256]

How is he king if Bivol whooped his ass?

[@IRSInternalRevenueServic-lm5lb]

he started off as a natural 140lbs what u expect sumb*ss
