Days Before Fight Night, Canelo Alvarez Still Dreams of 'Revenge' Against 47 YO Floyd Mayweather
Canelo's Long-Held Desire for Rematch
Despite his upcoming clash with Gennady Golovkin, Canelo Alvarez continues to express his desire for a rematch against Floyd Mayweather. The pound-for-pound king retired in 2017 after defeating Conor McGregor, but Alvarez has never given up on the prospect of a second fight.
The two fighters first met in 2013, with Mayweather winning a unanimous decision. Alvarez was just 23 years old at the time and has since grown into one of the best boxers in the world.
Mayweather's Retirement and Comeback Rumors
Mayweather has repeatedly stated that he is retired and has no plans to return to the ring. However, rumors of a comeback have persisted, especially after he hinted at a possible exhibition match against YouTuber Logan Paul.
If Mayweather were to come out of retirement, a rematch with Alvarez would be one of the biggest fights in boxing history. The two fighters have a combined record of 119-1, and a rematch would likely break pay-per-view records.
Alvarez's Focus on Golovkin Fight
While Alvarez is still hopeful for a rematch with Mayweather, he is currently focused on his upcoming fight with Gennady Golovkin. The two middleweights will face off for the third time on September 17th in Las Vegas.
Alvarez is the betting favorite against Golovkin, but he knows that he cannot overlook his opponent. Golovkin is a dangerous fighter who has never been knocked out.
The Future of the Mayweather-Alvarez Rivalry
Whether or not Mayweather ever comes out of retirement, the rivalry between him and Alvarez is likely to continue. The two fighters have a history of trading barbs in the media, and a rematch would only add fuel to the fire.
For now, Alvarez is focused on Golovkin. But if Mayweather does decide to return to the ring, a rematch with Alvarez would be one of the most anticipated fights in boxing history.
