Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has picked Muhammad Ali as the best boxer of all time. The Mexican superstar made this bold statement in a recent chat with GQ magazine.
Canelo's career speaks for itself. He's won titles in four different weight categories and has only lost twice in 66 professional fights. Those defeats came against Floyd Mayweather and Dmitry Bivol. Now, he's getting ready for his next challenge.
In August, Canelo will face William Scull. If he wins, he'll become the undisputed super middleweight champion for the second time. There's also talk of a potential fight with Terence Crawford in September.
When asked about the greatest boxer ever, Canelo didn't hesitate. He said Muhammad Ali was "The best in the world. Of all time."
Ali's achievements back up Canelo's choice. The boxing legend won a gold medal at the 1960 Olympic Games and beat great fighters like Sonny Liston. He was known for his resilience, especially in rematches against Leon Spinks and Joe Frazier.
Canelo's pick has got people talking. Many agree with him, but some think other boxers could be in the running for the title of best ever.
The Mexican fighter hopes to keep his own defeat count at just two as he moves forward with his career. With 66 fights under his belt already, Canelo's aiming to add more wins to his impressive record.
