Trainer Eddy Reynoso insists that Saul Canelo Alvarez will one day be the #1 Mexican fighter ever when he retires from the sport. Right now, it’s still too early to consider Canelo anything more than just a good fighter.




Alvarez didn’t look good in his last fight against IBF middleweight champion Daniel Jacobs. Likewise, Canelo’s two matches against Gennady Golovkin were highly controversial, and not the type fights that one would consider for an all-time #1 Mexican boxing great. When you compare how Canelo fought against GGG to how Mexican legend Salvador Sanchez dealt with Wilfredo Gomez, Ruben Castillo and Azumah Nelson, there’s no comparison. Sanchez was an incredible fighter.

“What if Canelo is among the top 10 fighters that Mexico has given? The day you retire will be the best!” Eddy Reynoso said on his social media site.

Canelo, 28, is considered the face of boxing by his promoters at Golden Boy Promotions. But whether Canelo will be the #1 Mexican boxer of all time when he finishes his career is uncertain. Past greats like Julio Cesar Chavez and Salvador Sanchez are hard to ignore.




These are the Mexican fighters that Canelo will be measured against:

– Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

– Salvador Sanchez




– Erik Morales

– Juan Manuel Marquez

– Marco Antonio Barrera

– Ruben Olivares

– Ricardo Lopez

– Oscar De La Hoya

– Carlos Zarate

– Vincente Salivar

– Lupe Pintor

– Alfonso Zamora

– Mikey Garcia

– Daniel Zarogoza

– Humberto Gonzalez

“I wish (Ruiz) all the best. Ruiz comes to fight,” Oscar said. “It’s gonna be difficult because Anthony Joshua’s, what, like 6’7”, 6’8”? And he’s muscular and he’s built like a freakin’ goddess, you know? Then you have Ruiz, he’s a little shorter and stubby a little, but he can fight. I think it’s gonna be a great fight.”

Each week, I’ll post my 10 choices for the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world. To understand this, it helps to understand what pound-for-pound means. To me, and the way I’ll be voting, it’s who would win a fight if everyone weighed the same and all of their skills and physical attributes were proportional. For example, if I’m considering a flyweight who is a murderous puncher in his division, I will assume he’d be a murderous puncher in every division, punching proportionally as hard at heavyweight as he did at flyweight.

I will value activity and quality of opposition over inactivity and lighter opposition. That said, I will not arbitrarily remove a fighter from my Top 10 if there is a logical and rational reason why he hasn’t fought. But I will not vote for someone who has been inactive for a lengthy period for no apparent reason. Fighters who are under doping suspensions will not be included.

Boxing pound-for-pound rankings as of April 25

"Greedy and ungrateful," Sanchez told ESPN. "He just signed a $100 million contract [with DAZN] and all of a sudden you have to make drastic steps because you don't have enough money? I feel for the morals and scruples of somebody like that. It's all over money.

"I wouldn't take what they were trying to insult me with. It's very disappointing because I never would've guessed that this young man would do that. I thought this young man had more scruples, more morals, a better upbringing. I never thought it would corrupt him like that. I was blindsided, really."

“This is your boy ‘Big Baby’ Miller here. A lot can be said right now, I’m gonna get straight to the point. I messed up. I messed up. I made a bad call. There’s a lot of ways to handle a situation, I handled it wrongly. I’m paying the price for it. I’m missing out on a big opportunity.

“I’m hurting on the inside. My heart is bleeding right now. I hurt my family, my friends, my team, my supporters. I’m gonna own up to it, I’m gonna deal with it, I’m gonna correct it, and I’m gonna come back better. I’m humbled by the experience, to understand how to handle certain things. I’m gonna leave it at that. I love you guys and I appreciate you guys out there. Fighters, we go through a lot. I don’t wanna make a bad name for ourselves. It’s time to do right and get right.”
