David Haye has no doubt that Saul Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs) today is the best boxer in the world, regardless of weight categories. Canelo was the world champion in the super middleweight, middleweight, super middleweight and light heavyweight divisions. Now he has collected all four belts at 76.2 kg, but on May 7 he will move to the weight limit of 79.4 kg to face the WBA light heavyweight champion. Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs). A worthy opponent, but Haymaker has no hesitation in putting the Mexican at the top of his P4P list.

“Alvarez is ahead of everyone in my ranking. He freely changes categories, and with each new fight, it seems to get better and better. He not only wins, but also defeats opponents who, on paper, seem really dangerous. After all, he is small for a light heavyweight, but he can handle these strong guys. This shows that he is a really great boxer. He is entering the peak period of his career and I don't know how far he can go. However, if he retired tomorrow, I would still put him in the top ten greatest boxers in the history of boxing. He's really great," said Haye, a former cruiserweight and heavyweight champion.
