Saul \u2018Canelo\u2019 Alvarez proved doubters wrong by putting on a boxing clinic against Jermell Charlo on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
The Mexican, 33, dismantled challenger Charlo in Las Vegas as he cruised to a unanimous 119-108, 118-109 and 118-109 win over the American. Canelo knocked down his opponent in the seventh round with an overhand right followed by an uppercut, before going on to record a staggering 60th win in 64 professional fights.<\/p>\n
He retained his WBO, WBC, WBA and IBF super-middleweight titles despite the murmurings of his decline after recent fights. And the Guadalajara-born fan-favourite put any talk of retirement to bed with a rousing post-fight message.<\/p>\n

He said in his interview with Jim Gray: \u201cI love boxing so f***ing much!" before adding: "I'm the best. Who's better? Nobody can beat this Canelo.<\/p>\n
"I worked all the fight to go in the body. Then I changed the punch and that's what happened. We worked for that. We know he's a great fighter. He knows how to move in the ring and we worked that in the gym for three months.<\/p>\n
"Three months in the mountains without my family, without everything. But I still love boxing. Boxing made me the person I am today. Boxing is my life."<\/p>\n
Do you think Canelo is still in his prime? Let us know in the comments section.<\/u> <\/i> <\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Canelo went on to say he doesn't \u201cf***ing care\u201d who he fights next. Alvarez has not yet committed to facing David Benavidez, 26, for the WBC super-middleweight belt. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s despite WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman previously declaring Benavidez as a mandatory challenger for the title. Should Alvarez turn down a fight with his 27-0 opponent, the WBC would likely vacate his belt.<\/p>\n

Canelo suffered his last defeat against Dmitry Bivol in May 2022. He bounced back with wins over Gennady Golovkin and John Ryder by decision.<\/p>\n
However, the two boxers were considered past their prime and a league below, respectively, leading some fans to consider whether Canelo was on a downward trajectory. But his flawless display against Charlo will certainly have silenced his critics for the time being.<\/p>\n
