If there’s one boxer who grabbed the most limelight and attention in the past year, then it’s Canelo Alvarez without a doubt. Fighting 4 times in 11 months, the p4p king became the undisputed super-middleweight champ. With this, he also created history by becoming the first man to do so.

Now, Canelo is all set to move up to the cruiserweight roster to challenge the WBC champ, Ilunga Makabu, for his throne. This move by Canelo and his team got wide appreciation. However, there were some fans who felt the Mexican star is avoiding his challenges against David Benavidez and Jermall Charlo.

But in a recent interview with World Boxing News, Canelo lashed out at critics over these junctures.

He said, “Look, what I see and what I know is I beat the No.1 fighter at 168. It was Callum Smith,” 

“Next, Billy Joe Saunders, second. Next, the third one (Plant). So, I beat all the best at 168. They were all undefeated. I beat all the best at 168, and now there’s people saying you need to fight this one — like always.”

“Mention a champion they (Benavidez and Charlo) fight before. How many? I really don’t care. Haters are always going to be haters.” 

Benavidez and Charlo have both shown their keenness for a long time in taking on Alvarez. However, it is safe to say, Canelo is in a league of his own, and he’s eagerly chasing his path to glory.
