Having competed as knowledgeable for 20 years, Canelo Alvarez has been one among boxing’s biggest stars for a while.
He’s recorded many iconic wins and continued to rack up accolades but on September 13, he faces Terence Crawford in a matchup that fans have dreamed about for years.
Canelo rates Crawford incredibly highly, as was proven in a recent video where he claimed that his next opponent is healthier than the one two men that he has suffered losses to in his profession.
The Mexican star’s most up-to-date defeat got here to Dmitry Bivol in 2022, where Canelo still recorded a career-high pay day despite losing a unanimous decision.
Before his only prior loss, he shared the ring with an opponent who after achieving success in a single arena, selected to step into one other.
Canelo Alvarez ended Austin Trout’s undefeated run in 2013
By 2013, Canelo Alvarez had already built an incredibly impressive record at 41-0-1 with multiple defenses of the WBC light middleweight title already under his belt.
After beating the likes of Josesito Lopez and Shane Mosley in his recent outings, his return in April saw him tackle an undefeated champion in a bout where he would add The Ring and WBA light middleweight belts to his collection.
Austin Trout held the WBA regular light middleweight title with an undefeated record of 26-0, having previously been the runner-up to represent america on the 2004 Olympics.
Their matchup ended up being more competitive than many expected it to be but this wasn’t enough for Trout to drag off a historic win as he was beaten on all three scorecards.
Towards the top of his boxing profession, having also challenged each Jermall and Jermell Charlo for world titles, Trout would eventually find himself competing in BKFC where he has gone undefeated.
He was recently stripped of his welterweight title having previously beaten the likes of UFC veteran Diego Sanchez and iconic bare knuckle fighter Luis Palomino.
Canelo Alvarez would go on to suffer his first defeat in his very next fight
Canelo Alvarez was originally scheduled to face Austin Trout within the co-main event of a card headlined by Floyd Mayweather Jr. until a contractual disagreement between the 2 stars stopped this from going down.
On the time, Alvarez and Mayweather Jr. were already being lined as much as face each other later that 12 months, with the bout going down on September 14.
Despite the scale difference between them, the American was capable of hand the Mexican his first defeat, outpointing him on two of the scorecards while the third judge had it as a draw.
After securing his forty fifth pro win, Mayweather Jr. would fight five more times as a professional before leaving the professional side of the game with an ideal 50-0 record.
