Canelo Alvarez touched new heights of success after returning to action in December 2020 against Callum Smith, ending a hiatus of over one year from the ring. He vanquished an undefeated Smith to grab hold of the WBC, WBA, and Ring super middleweight titles. However, the coming days fetched him even more and after a full circle of 2021, Alvarez sees it as his best year.

From personal to professional achievements, the Mexican star has seen it all. While 2022 can put him into bigger challenges, Alvarez is currently relishing his lay-off. The maiden undisputed super middleweight champion recently connected with PBC FOX and shared his experiences.

A potential move to light heavyweight or cruiserweight is valid. But nothing is confirmed as of now, and Alvarez is still in the hangover of a successful 2021.

“It was an unbelievable year, maybe the best year of my life. Because I get married with my wife, the first thing. Then I accomplished so much in boxing which for me is amazing. So, it must be the best year of my life,” said Canelo Alvarez.

Canelo Alvarez has fought thrice in 2021, winning all three showdowns via stoppages. After a successful stint against Smith in 2020, Alvarez defended his belts against Avni Yildirim in February and went for Billy Joe Saunders’s WBO strap in May, He then followed it by adding Caleb Plant’s IBF belt in November, holding all major titles at 168 lbs division.

The four-division world champion can soon become a five-weight titlist if he gets a belt in the cruiserweight division. WBC has already cleared Ilunga Makabu to face Alvarez. But we are still miles away from seeing it happen.

Canelo Alvarez is making big moves all over

Apart from a shift to the cruiserweight division, Alvarez can also turn his head back to 175 lbs. He has already tasted gold at light heavyweight and shall expect himself to become undisputed over there too. From Artur Beterbiev to Dmitry Bivol, the 175 lbs unit can offer a lot before the P4P king. Meanwhile, middleweight champions are also calling him out for an in-ring scrap.

As for now, Alvarez can enjoy his lay-off time and craft his comeback plans safely. He has achieved it all at 168 lbs but still has a few tests left over there.
