When two boxers of this caliber compete, there will undoubtedly be extensive media attention. After making his professional boxing debut in 2005, the Mexican was on an unstoppable winning streak and ruling the sport. However, the legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather handed him his first professional loss in 2013.

Recently, popular stand-up comedian Brian Simpson was invited as a guest at ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’. The conversation between Rogan and Simpson turned to who would triumph in an Alvarez-Mayweather rematch. The guest stated, “He(Floyd Mayweather) fought young Canelo, not maybe knock Canelo now. But I still believe he would beat him.”

Rogan replied, “I think so too. its hard now because Canelo’s a tank now, he is so big. You would have to get him down to manageable weight. He was 152 when he fought Floyd. Floyd was very smart, he made him cut below the 154 limit. Because he knew he struggled even to get to 154. So Floyd made him cut extra two pounds. It was very sneaky.”
