Canelo Alvarez's comeback trail has sparked intense debate among boxing enthusiasts, with many wondering if the legendary Mexican fighter can reclaim his former glory. The recent social media footage of Canelo shadowboxing has given his fans a glimmer of hope, but the question remains: can he truly rise again after his defeat to Terence Crawford?
Alvarez, with an impressive record of 63 wins, 3 losses, and 2 draws, underwent elbow surgery following his loss to Crawford last September. This setback ended his reign as the undisputed super-middleweight champion, but it hasn't dampened his spirit. Despite turning 36 in July and retirement talks, Canelo seems determined to continue his boxing journey, with only two fights left before reaching the 70-fight milestone.
Floyd Mayweather Jr., who famously defeated Canelo in 2013, was recently asked if his former opponent was now 'washed up.' Mayweather's response was cautious: 'I don't know. Boxing takes a toll on the body. Maybe so, but I'm not sure.' Despite retiring in 2017, Mayweather has stayed active in exhibition matches, with rumors of potential showdowns against Manny Pacquiao or even Mike Tyson still circulating.
But here's where it gets controversial: Canelo's desire to face top-tier opponents seems unwavering. Mexican fighting spirit is legendary, and Canelo appears ready to continue carrying the torch for his nation. Will he write a new chapter in his career, or is this a tale of a great fighter's decline? The boxing world watches with bated breath.
