P4P King Canelo Alvarez has grown bigger than the limits of his boxing chain, amassing sheer stardom as a global celebrity. On looking at modern-day sports, the Mexican elite is clearly one of the biggest names in the industry, sharing a similar status to the biggest stars. While his in-ring success has frequently put him on the scale with other boxers, Alvarez has also aligned himself with the likes of star athletes like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, and others.
As Alvarez’s brand value has been one of the biggest in all combat sports, certain features have evoked many people to believe that Canelo Alvarez has become bigger than Ronaldo and Messi. However, the 168 lbs world champion has reacted to this comparison differently in interaction with TUDN.
Alvarez said, “Sometimes I believe it and sometimes I think that I’m happy and grateful.”
