How many games did Canelo Alvarez lose?

In his 16-year boxing career, Canelo Alvarez has only lost one match-his opponent is Floyd Mayweather.

The two major figures in the boxing world met in the ring at the MGM Arena in September 2013. At that time, neither of these two fighters were defeated.

Although Mayweather has defeated players like Zab Judah, Oscar De La Hoya, Rich Hatton and Miguel Cotto, expect his fight with Alvarez to be his toughest one to date.

However, “Money” showed an unforgettable performance, completely surpassing his Mexican opponent. He showed clear blows and first-class defensive mentality, and hurt Alvarez with a stinging counterattack.

Alvarez was able to go further with Mayweather, but found himself on the wrong side of the majority decision. The two judges scored 116-112 and 117-111 in favor of Mayweather, while the controversial score of CJ Rose was 114-114, which was criticized by the majority of fans. Facing strong opposition, Rose later decided to retire.

Alvarez lost his WBC and The Ring light welterweight titles, while Mayweather retained his WBA (super) light welterweight titles.

According to statistics from CompuBox, the 50-0 boxer hit 232 out of his 505 punches against Alvarez. At the same time, the Mexican can only hit 117 of 526 punches.

Years later, Canelo Alvarez said that if he played against the Americans at his peak, he would defeat Mayweather. However, Mayweather pleaded differently.

“He said it was crazy because when Carneiro was playing against me, he was at his peak, and when I was playing against (him), I was an old man,” Mayweather told Fight Hype.
