‘No boxing, no life’ is what Canelo Alvarez preaches to his fans all over the world. Aged 30, he is already the four-division world champion and is considered one of the greatest pugilists of the era. While he arguably remains the most entraining boxer of this time, Alvarez has his list of favorites.
In an active career of 16 years, Alvarez has seen several elites come to the global stage. While the sport always had umpteen legends, the P4P king prefers watching a few of them. Prior to his 168 lbs title unification fight against Billy Joe Saunders, the champion connected with Brian Custer to talk about his favorite boxers. Meanwhile, Alvarez appears to be a fan of the lightweight and welterweight boxers as he picked all his favorites from the particular spots.

That said, both the champions have already been vile on each other, with several verbal attacks. It has further intensified their matchup, and fans can gear up for a nail-biting collision. Additionally, the matchup also seems a ticket for another unification fight against IBF titleholder Caleb Plant. Hence, there’s too much at stake to lose for either man. Undefeated boxer Billy Joe Saunders will put his 30-0 record on the line, whole Alvarez’s legacy and titles will be put alongside.
