Floyd Mayweather and Canelo Alvarez fought quite a number of years back at this stage.
Mayweather won a comfortable points decision on the night.
It was an excellent performance by Mayweather in fairness.
A boxing clinic of the highest caliber.

Look how far Canelo has come since.
He used that defeat to learn and improve to become the fighter he is today.
Still getting even better too.

It could be suggested that Canelo has not reached his prime yet.

The response from fans has been quite something.
A huge reaction:

That says it all in the amount of people reacting. Huge response.
The sheer frequency of responses so far has been nuts. Off the hook, as it were.
Possibly one of the most controversial subjects in all of boxing at the moment.
