Canelo Alvarez went up against Floyd Mayweather over a decade ago.

They met in September 2013 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, with Canelo defending his WBC super-welterweight title and Mayweather putting his WBA belt on the line

It was seen as a tough test for Mayweather heading into the fight, with Alvarez bringing an unbeaten record of 42-0-1, along with wins over the likes of Shane Mosley, Austin Trout and Josesito Lopez.

It didn’t turn out to be that way though, with Mayweather dominating the majority of the action on his way to a points win, even though the judges controversially scored it much closer than many fans expected.

Canelo has since given his verdict on how hard Mayweather hit during their fight, needing just two words to sum it up whilst speaking to Fight Hub TV.

The Mexican superstar then acknowledged that even though Mayweather may not have power, it makes it a very difficult style to compete against.

“He has a style that doesn’t make for attractive fights. It’s very difficult to land punches. He’s not aggressive, he doesn’t punch hard at all.”

Mayweather fought fight five more times following the bout with Canelo, including a showdown with long-term rival Manny Pacquiao. His victory there helped him retire with a perfect 50-0 record back in 2017.

Canelo meanwhile has a current record of 62-2-2 and is now a four-weight world champion, having gone on to become undisputed at super-middleweight and champion at both middleweight and light-heavyweight following his fight with Mayweather.
