Floyd's Big 5: Mayweather vs. Canelo - Who's the Chosen One?

In the period between 2012 and 2013, Floyd Mayweather has not been very consistent if we are talking about fights in the same weight class. In just a few months, he moved up to super welterweight, where he took the championship belt from Miguel Cotto. In his next fight, he made a successful welterweight defense against compatriot Robert Guerrero to once again add the word "super" to the division. Canelo Alvarez will be his opponent there. So far, the Mexican is close to perfect. For 43 meetings in the professional ring, Saul has 42 wins and one draw. But it's early in his career and Canelo has 38 straight wins. As well as huge self-esteem.

According to "Ring" magazine, Alvarez is number one in the ranking of his category, but he is only 23 years old. The scale shows that he is approximately 7 kilograms heavier than Floyd. The match turns out to be long and certainly quite interesting. But the winner looks clear after 12 full rounds. However, one of the judges gives a draw. CJ Ross's card shows 114:114, and a little later her decision becomes a reason to give up the refereeing. At the same time, some are of the opinion that one boxer wins all rounds. Of course it is the undefeated in the professional ring Floyd Mayweather. The American shows the audience one of the most memorable performances in the ring in the entire history of the sport. And certainly one of the top five personally.

Expectations are that this will be the toughest match of Floyd's career. But the 16,746 in Las Vegas saw how decisively he outplayed the opposition. The handsome man launched 505 shots, of which 232 hit the target. With Canelo, the stat is 117 out of 526. More than double the percentage. And more than 8 times more money for the winner. The Mexican consoles himself from the defeat with 5 million dollars in the account. At the same time, Mayweather became richer by 41.5 million – another record in the history of sports for the legendary American.
