Canelo Alvarez once again showed why he s almost unbeatable by making Billy Joe Saunders quit in his corner after eight rounds. Is Alvarez the current best fighter in the world? There s a good argument to be made for the super middleweight unified champion.
A former great, Floyd Mayweather, killed two birds with one stone during the press conference to announce his exhibition match against YouTube sensation Logan Paul. Previous to that event, Mayweather got into an altercation with Logan Paul s younger brother Jake, also a YouTuber turned boxer, and it looks like a boxing match between them could be in the works for later this year. Mayweather could cash in on those two fights without taking much of a risk.
