Canelo Alvarez is well known for being very daring. In fact he has said multiple times that has never feared anyone. Thislevel of confidence allows his manager and lifelong trainer, Eddy Reynoso, to create and aim for the most incredible boxing feats.

In the last WBC Convention, celebrated in Mexico City , Reynoso shocked the entire world with theunbeleivable request he made to Mauricio Sulaiman , the president of organization at hand. He wants Canelo to join Hearns , Leonard , De la Hoya , Mayweather and Pacquiao in the list of boxers with World Titles won in 5 different weight classes .

This petition takes Alvarez to challenge Ilunga Junior Makabu, the current WBC World Cruiserweight Champion. Considering that Mexican Superstar started his career on 147 lbs, try to conquer a 53 libs higher belt sounds crazy at least.

Nevertheless, the Pound for Pound king states something clear. He fully trusts on Eddy Reynoso, so he leaves, as he has done for almost 17 years, his career on his hands:“Like I always say, if Eddy says something or he tries to do something crazy, I’m always in. I’m his warrior.”
