Canelo: I beat the best and critics say they are no longer the same

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

He’s back in Miami on Saturday night, when he takes on the obligatory 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 showdown with IBF World Champion Caleb Plant.

When his career finally comes to an end, 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 making my career, I’m making history and we’ll see where I stand when I retire …… yes, you have to look at it in terms of victories, figures and championships, c ‘is how it should be done, ”Canelo told Erika Montoya.

Over the past few years, Canelo has been criticized by many critics – because they don’t believe he faces the best.

Canelo disagrees, explaining that he faces the best and makes them look ordinary.

“Almost all of the criticisms are unfair. Because when I beat 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 cancels them out. [The critics] want to find the weak side of everything, they never give credit. But I’m used to it, ”Canelo said.
