JAKARTA - In football we have seen many players compared to Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi. However, it is rare for a boxer to receive such praise.
Canelo Alvarez is a unique individual, although the Mexican made it clear he never imagined he would reach a level where such comparisons are easy to make.
Alvarez is widely regarded as the best boxer in the world on a pound-for-pound basis (regardless of the fighter's weight or weight being the same for all classes).
Da has combined titles in three different heavyweights and hopes to clinch a fourth in the near future.
No wonder many people compare him to Ronaldo and Messi. So what's the response?
"Sometimes I believe and sometimes I think that I am happy and grateful (for this achievement)," Canelo told TUDN.

"I never imagined getting all this. I imagined being the best boxer, but I never thought it would be this big (like Ronaldo and Messi), I feel very happy and this motivates me to keep winning and make history."
Canelo's next fight is against Caleb Plant, and he's a serious contender. Currently, both boxers are seen as the most complete fighters.
