Canelo Alvarez’s stock has dropped to the bottom it has ever been following an update to the pound-for-pound boxing rankings.
This past September, Canelo Alvarez clashed with Terence Crawford in the largest boxing fight of the century, as they squared off for the undisputed super middleweight title.
Despite going into the fight as the large favorite due to his size advantage, the Mexican was dominated by ‘Bud’ Crawford who dethroned Canelo to develop into the brand new undisputed champion.
And following his loss, it marked the primary time in over seven years that Canelo is now with out a world title, potentially being the start of the top of his incredible profession.
Canelo falls out of the P4P top 10
This past Monday evening, the Ring Magazine’s pound-for-pound rankings were updated, they usually are probably the most widely known pound-for-pound rankings in the game.
For the primary time since 2018 when he was faraway from the rankings for testing positive for a banned substance, the Mexican didn’t feature contained in the top 10, dealing him one other big blow.
Replacing him in the highest 10 is Devin Haney, who this past weekend won the WBO welterweight title after picking up the unanimous decision win over Brian Norman Jr.
Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez also made his way into the highest 5, overtaking Dmitry Bivol, after defending his 4 flyweight world titles.
Canelo’s recent foe, Crawford, remained at the highest of the list with Oleksandr Usyk and Naoya Inoue being the opposite two fighters occupying the highest 3.

Canelo could secure Crawford rematch
Despite some questioning whether Canelo would retire following his loss to Crawford, the Mexican made it clear that he has no intentions of retiring just yet.
And he has now received a positive update regarding a possible rematch against Crawford, because the American recently revealed he can be open to a second clash with Canelo.
The previous undisputed champion has made it clear that he’s targeting the potential rematch to happen within the second quarter of 2026, in what can be one other huge fight in the game.
