Undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez suffered the first loss of his career at the hands of Floyd Mayweather back in 2013. However, many believe that the Mexican boxer would have beat ‘TBE’ if the two fought in their primes. Following his loss to Mayweather, Alvarez would go on to dominate the world of boxing, winning titles across multiple weight divisions.

This is why many, including Alvarez, have wondered how a rematch between the two would have turned out. ‘Saul’ has stated on multiple occasions that he wanted to face ‘Money’ in a rematch that never came to fruition. However, it looks like Alvarez might just have the last laugh over his former rival.

This statement certainly would have hurt Mayweather as he is banned from owning a Ferrari, even though he has an estimated net worth of $450 million. According to the ownership rule of Ferrari, the owner of the car must retain it for a year since its purchase.

Contrary to this, Mayweather sold his Ferrari just a few months after purchasing it. This would lead to him getting banned from ever purchasing the iconic ‘Prancing Horse’.

Moreover, he has at least nine supercars in his collection, including a flagship blue Bugatti Chiron. Along with the supercars, he also owns a Rolls Royce Ghost and a Bentley. However, the most prized possession in his collection is his $2.8 million red LaFerrari. The car is one of the most valuable ones in the world and is sought after by many. It can reach 217mph and is described by Ferrari as its most extreme vehicle ever created by them.
