Canelo Alvarez, the brightest star of Mexican boxing, has just sent shockwaves through the boxing community by declaring that he would “love” to have a rematch with undefeated legend Floyd Mayweather Jr. Although their first fight took place a decade ago, Canelo believes he has matured a lot and is ready to make amends for the only loss of his professional career.
Canelo: “I Want to Prove Myself”
In a recent interview, Canelo made no secret of his desire to face Mayweather again.
“Floyd is one of the best fighters of all time, and I have always respected him. But I am not the kid I was in 2013 anymore. I want to prove that I have become a complete fighter and that I can beat him,” Canelo shared.
The first fight between Canelo and Mayweather took place in 2013 when Canelo was just 23 years old. Mayweather won convincingly by points thanks to his superior tactics and experience.
Floyd Mayweather Jr.: Still Undefeated, But Ready?
Floyd Mayweather Jr., now retired, still maintains his reputation with an unbeaten record of 50-0. Mayweather has mainly fought exhibition matches recently, but a rematch with Canelo could provide a huge boost both professionally and financially.
However, Mayweather’s acceptance of Canelo’s challenge is still a big question mark. He has stated that he will not return to official fights.
Fans: Excited But Skeptical
The idea of this rematch has attracted the attention of millions of fans around the world. Many see this as Canelo’s chance to avenge his historic loss, while others believe Mayweather has nothing more to prove.
One fan wrote on social media:
“If Floyd accepts, this will be the biggest fight of the decade!”
Real Chance or Just a Dream?
While the idea is appealing, there are several factors to consider: Mayweather’s age (47), his current fighting status, and the financial benefits of the fight. If it becomes a reality, it will certainly be a must-see event in the boxing world.
🔥 Will Floyd agree to give Canelo a rematch? And if so, who will win? Fans will be waiting to see what happens next in the hope of witnessing one of the most historic rematches in boxing history!
