Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez edged a thrilling rematch with Gennady Golovkin to become the new WBA and WBC middleweight champion in a Las Vegas classic which paves the way for a trilogy which would be fit to grace any era.
Two months later Alvarez is talking about the win.
“Everything that was said about me and the attacks made against me as a person-well, I demonstrated what I’m really made of in my last fight. That’s the nicest feeling to be able to shut mouths with facts,” Canelo said.
“As I’ve always said, I’ve always considered myself to be the best and now more so than ever,” Canelo said.
“I’m here because of that and because of that motivation to be the best. To be on the pound for pound list or not that's something that neither excites me nor upsets me. I’m just happy with what I’ve done and satisfied with what I am doing.”
