Peleas de peso capturado en 155 libras
Álvarez contra Angulo
El 9 de enero de 2014, el director ejecutivo de Golden Boy , Richard Schaefer, confirmó que se había llegado a un acuerdo para una pelea entre Álvarez y el boxeador mexicano de 31 años Alfredo Angulo (22-3, 18 KOs) que tendrá lugar el 8 de marzo de 2014, en Showtime PPV en el MGM Grand de Las Vegas . [64] [65] En marzo, ESPN informó que la pelea se llevaría a cabo con un peso de 155 libras, debido a que Álvarez no pudo alcanzar el límite de peso mediano ligero de 154 libras. Para la pelea de PPV, Álvarez acordó pagar $ 100,000 de su monedero mínimo de $ 1.25 millones a Angulo, lo que aumentaría su monedero $ 850,000. También en las negociaciones, Álvarez acordó pesar no más de 168 libras en la noche de la pelea. Esta fue la primera de las cinco peleas de Álvarez que se llevaron a cabo en las 155 libras. En la noche de la pelea, Álvarez pesó 174 libras en la báscula de Showtime y Angulo pesó 170 libras. [66] Frente a 14.610 en el MGM, Álvarez salió fuerte, lanzando combinaciones. En una paliza bastante desigual, Álvarez anotó un paro en el décimo asalto sobre Angulo puntuado por un uppercut de izquierda. El final de la pelea comenzó en el sexto asalto, cuando el ojo izquierdo de Angulo comenzó a hincharse. Cuando el árbitro canceló la pelea, la multitud estaba disgustada y abucheada. En el momento del paro, dos jueces lo tenían 89-82 y el tercer juez lo tenía 88-83, todos a favor de Álvarez. [67]
Angulo declaró después de la pelea que estaba descontento con el paro, "Le dije a Tony que hizo el trabajo equivocado esta noche. El árbitro nos dice que nos cuidemos en todo momento. Puedo cuidarme solo. Mi plan era trabajar más duro". en los últimos cuatro o tres asaltos. Tuve una buena preparación para esta pelea ". Su entrenador Virgil Hunter también estaba descontento con el árbitro Tony Weeks, "Estoy muy molesto. Le dije al árbitro y al médico que si Canelo ponía dos o tres tiros juntos, yo detendría la pelea. Él conectó un golpe. Todos conocen a Alfredo". venía fuerte, todo el mundo lo sabe ". [68]
Álvarez vs. Lara
Álvarez luchó contra Erislandy Lara el 12 de julio de 2014, en el MGM Grand en un combate sin título. El título de peso mediano ligero de la AMB de Lara no estaba en juego, ya que la pelea se llevó a cabo en un peso intermedio de 155 libras y ambos peleadores pesaron exactamente 155 libras. Álvarez se rehidrató a 171 libras mientras que Lara entró al ring con 166 libras. En una pelea muy cerrada y competitiva que terminó con una decisión dividida, Álvarez se impuso con dos jueces con una puntuación de 115-113 a favor de cada luchador y el juez final con una puntuación de 117-111 a favor de Álvarez. [69] El cuadro de mando final fue controvertido ya que muchos observadores lo consideraron demasiado amplio. Según CompuBox, Lara conectó 55 golpes contra nueve de Álvarez, quien conectó el golpe a una tasa de conexión del cinco por ciento. Álvarez logró conectar 88 golpes de poder, mientras que Lara conectó 53 golpes de poder. Los golpes limpios, la defensa y el movimiento de Lara se compararon con la agresividad efectiva y el poder de los golpes de Álvarez. [70] Lara salió de manera dominante, utilizando un estilo de pegar y moverse y capturando las primeras rondas. Aunque Álvarez luchó con las combinaciones uno-dos de Lara, los golpes de Lara no fueron lanzados con suficiente potencia o frecuencia para disuadirlo de presionar constantemente la pelea contra una Lara en retirada, y pudo golpear el cuerpo de Lara cuando lo tuvo en el cuerdas. La mano delantera de Lara jugó un papel muy importante en la efectividad de su combinación uno-dos, pero su rendimiento disminuyó a medida que avanzaba la pelea y se volvió cada vez más tentativo. Álvarez pudo cortar a Lara con un uppercut de izquierda de ventaja en el séptimo asalto. [71] Aunque la decisión sigue siendo controvertida, Oscar De La Hoya descartó cualquier conversación sobre una revancha en el futuro, quien continuó diciendo: "Nadie quiere una revancha". [72] [73]
Álvarez contra Kirkland

La razón por la que no se fijó la fecha se debió a que la próxima pelea de Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao no tenía una fecha oficial. [74] En marzo, en la conferencia de prensa oficial, se anunció que la pelea se llevaría a cabo en el Minute Maid Park en Houston , Texas, el 9 de mayo de 2015, en vivo por HBO, una semana después de la pelea del 2 de mayo entre Mayweather y Pacquiao .

Álvarez terminó la pelea con un jab al cuerpo seguido rápidamente por la mano derecha, creando el KO. Álvarez conectó 87 de 150 golpes lanzados (58%) y Kirkland conectó 42 de 197 (21%). Después de la pelea, Kirkland dijo: "No sabía que estaba noqueado". Luego fue llevado al hospital para someterse a una tomografía computarizada .

La pelea se llevó a cabo con un peso de 155 libras a pedido de Cotto. [80] Aunque Cotto hizo un esfuerzo tremendo, moviéndose bien durante la pelea, los jueces claramente eligieron el poder y la precisión superiores de Álvarez, con puntajes sorprendentemente amplios de 117-111, 119-109 y 118-110. ESPN.com tuvo la pelea mucho más cerrada, pero aún así la anotó a favor de Álvarez, 115-113. Según CompuBox, Álvarez conectó 155 de 484 golpes (32%) y Cotto conectó 129 de 629 (21%), siendo Álvarez los golpes más fuertes e infligiendo más daño. [81] Dos meses después de la pelea, el CMB le otorgó a Álvarez el título de peso mediano Diamante del CMB en su sede en México.

Álvarez vs. Chávez Jr.
Following Julio César Chávez Jr.'s comeback win against Dominik Britsch in December 2016, he claimed he was back and ready to fight Golovkin at 168 lbs and Álvarez at a 164-pound catchweight. Negotiations began soon after for a potential HBO PPV fight to take place in 2017 on Cinco de Mayo weekend, as there was interest from both sides that a fight take place. De La Hoya said a fight with Golovkin would still be likely for September 2017. Golden Boy president Eric Gomez confirmed a catchweight of 165 lbs was agreed between both sides.[98][99][100] WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman was on board, saying he would likely get his organisation involved in the bout and that it was a "very attractive fight."[101][102] On 18 December, Julio César Chávez Sr. spoke about the ongoing negotiations, saying Golden Boy were offering his son a small amount for the potential big PPV fight. He went on to claim his son was offered a $5 million purse with no mention he would get a cut of the PPV revenue, a counter offer was submitted. A rematch clause was also discussed, which Chávez Jr. and his team had no problem with. Chávez Sr. went on to admit that he was fully aware Álvarez is the A-side in the fight and would settle for no less than 30–35% of the full revenue.[103][104]
On 22 December, the WBO made Álvarez the mandatory challenger to the middleweight title, skipping the previous number one Avtandil Khurtsidze, which was considered controversial due to Álvarez currently not fighting at middleweight. Khurtsidze, who had ten days to appeal decision, decided not to.[105][106] On 24 December, Álvarez and his team gave Chávez Jr. a week to accept the terms, which included a purse of $7 million, or he would consider other options.[107] On 12 January 2017, De La Hoya and Álvarez called for the contract to be signed, which was supposedly sent to Al Haymon, who advises Chávez Jr. and urged him to sign it.[108] A day later, Chávez Jr. claimed he had agreed to all the demands set by Álvarez and said that he would sign the contract.

According to the NSAC, it was reported that Álvarez would earn $5 million and Chávez Jr. would earn $3 million before any shares of PPV. The figures would increase based on PPV sales.[117][118]
In front of a sold-out crowd of 20,510, Álvarez won the fight in dominant fashion via a shutout unanimous decision. All three judges scored it 120–108 for Álvarez. Chávez Jr. was very cautious throughout the fight. At times, he came forward and also had Álvarez against the ropes, but failed to throw any punches. This led to jeers from the crowd in the later rounds due to a lack of action. Álvarez spoke to HBO's Max Kellerman in the post-fight interview, talking about his fighting style, "Tonight, I showed I could move, I could box, I showed as a fighter I can do all things. I thought I was going to showcase myself as a fighter that could throw punches, but he just wouldn't do it. I've shown I can do lots of things in the ring, anything a fighter brings, I've shown I can showcase myself." CompuBox stats showed that Álvarez landed 228 of 604 his punches thrown (38%) and Chávez Jr. landed 71 of 302 (24%). By the end of round five, Álvarez landed 102 punches compared to Chávez Jr.'s 25 landed.[119][120][121] Early figures revealed that the fight generated at least one million buys.[122] A replay was shown on regular HBO a week later and drew an average of 769,000 viewers.[123] This was the first boxing match to generate over a million PPV buys that didn't include Mayweather, Pacquiao or De La Hoya since 2002, which saw Lennox Lewis retain his heavyweight world titles against Mike Tyson. Later sources confirmed the fight did close to 1.2 million buys, which means it would have generated around $80 million.[124]

Álvarez vs. Golovkin
Immediately after the Chávez Jr. fight, Álvarez announced that he would next fight Gennady Golovkin on 16 September 2017, at a location to be determined. Golovkin, who stated he would not attend the fight, was joined by his trainer Abel Sanchez and promoter Tom Loeffler.[125] Golovkin joined him in the ring during the announcement to help promote their upcoming bout. Speaking through a translator, Álvarez said, "Golovkin, you are next, my friend. The fight is done. I've never feared anyone, since I was 15 fighting as a professional. When I was born, fear was gone." When Golovkin arrived in the ring, he said, "I feel very excited. Right now is a different story. In September, it will be a different style – a big drama show. I'm ready. Tonight, first congrats to Canelo and his team. Right now, I think everyone is excited for September. Canelo looked very good tonight, and 100 percent he is the biggest challenge of my career. Good luck to Canelo in September."[119]
On 9 May, Eric Gomez, president of Golden Boy Promotions told the LA Times that Álvarez had an immediate rematch clause in place on his contract, whereas Golovkin, if he loses, won't be guaranteed a rematch.[126] De La Hoya later revealed in an interview with ESPN that the fight would also take place at the full middleweight limit of 160 lbs with no rehydration clauses, meaning Golovkin and Álvarez would be able to gain an unlimited amount of weight following the weigh in.[127] On 5 June, the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas was announced as the venue of the fight and would mark the first time Golovkin would fight in the state of Nevada. The AT&T Stadium, Madison Square Garden and Dodgers Stadium missed out on hosting the fight.[128] Eric Gomez of Golden Boy Promotions said in a statement that Álvarez would fight for the IBF title, meaning he would participate in the second day weigh in where the IBF requires that each boxer weighs no more than ten lbs over the 160-pound limit. Although he said there was no word on whether Álvarez would fight for the WBC title, Álvarez claimed that he would not be.[129] On 7 July 2017, Golden Boy and K2 Promotions individually announced the tickets had sold out.[130]
On 15 August, Golden Boy matchmaker Robert Diaz revealed that Álvarez would indeed attend the IBF mandatory second day weigh in and fully intended to fight for both the IBF title and the WBA title. He also made it clear that whilst Golovkin would still defend the WBC and IBO title, Álvarez would not pay their sanctioning fees.[131] On 22 August, IBF president Daryl Peoples announced that they would be dropping the mandatory second day weigh in for unification fights, meaning neither fighter is required to participate, however they would still encourage them to do so.[132] It was reported that Álvarez would earn a base minimum $5 million and Golovkin would earn $3 million, before any shares of the revenue are added to their purses.[133]
On fight night, in front of a sold-out crowd of 22,358, Golovkin and Álvarez fought to a split draw (118–110 Álvarez, 115–113 Golovkin, and 114–114). ESPN's Dan Rafael and HBO's Harold Lederman scored the fight 116–112 in favor of Golovkin. Judge Adalaide Byrd's scorecard of 118–110 in favor of Álvarez was widely ridiculed. Many observers felt that Golovkin had won a narrow, closely contested fight and while a draw was justifiable, a card that wide in favor of Álvarez was inexcusable.[134][135][136] Nevertheless, Bob Bennett, director of the Nevada Athletic Commission, said that he had full confidence in Byrd going forward.[137] Despite the controversy, several mainstream media outlets referred to the bout as a "classic".[138][139] The fight started with both boxers finding their rhythm, Álvarez using his footwork and Golovkin establishing his jab. During the middle rounds, particularly between four and eight, Álvarez started each round quickly, but seemed to tire out after a minute, with Golovkin taking over and doing enough to win the rounds. The championship rounds were arguably the best rounds and Álvarez started to counter more and both fighters stood toe-to-toe exchanging swings, the majority of which missed. The draw saw Golovkin make his 19th consecutive defense, just one behind middleweight great Bernard Hopkins. CompuBox stats showed that Golovkin was the busier of the two, landing 218 of 703 thrown (31%), while Álvarez was more accurate, landing 169 of his 505 thrown (34%). Golovkin out landed Álvarez in ten of the twelve rounds.[140][141] The replay, which took place a week later on HBO averaged 726,000, peaking at 840,000 viewers.[142]
Speaking to Max Kellerman after the fight, Golovkin said, "It was a big drama show. [The scoring] is not my fault. I put pressure on him every round. Look, I still have all the belts. I am still the champion." Álvarez felt as though he won the fight, "In the first rounds, I came out to see what he had. Then I was building from there. I think I won eight rounds. I felt that I won the fight. I think I was superior in the ring. I won at least seven or eight rounds. I was able to counterpunch and made Gennady wobble at least three times. If we fight again, it's up to the people. I feel frustrated over my draw."[143][144][145] Golovkin's trainer Abel Sanchez believed judge Byrd had her scorecard filled out before the first bell rang.[146] Álvarez ruled out another fight in 2017, claiming he would return on Cinco de Mayo weekend in May 2018. At the post-fight press conference, Álvarez said through a translator, "Look, right now I wanna rest. Whatever the fans want, whatever the people want and ask for, we’ll do. You know that’s my style. But right now, who knows if it’s in May or September? But one thing’s for sure – this is my era, the era of Canelo".[147] Golovkin's promoter Tom Loeffler stated that they would like an immediate rematch, but Golovkin, who prefers fighting at least three times in a calendar year, reiterated his desire to also fight in December.
The fight surpassed Mayweather–Álvarez to achieve the third highest gate in boxing history. ESPN reported the fight generated $27,059,850 from 17,318 tickets sold. 934 complimentary tickets were given out, according to the NSAC. Mayweather vs. Álvarez sold 16,146 tickets to produce a live gate of $20,003,150.[148]
The replay, which took place a week later on HBO averaged 726,000, peaking at 840,000 viewers.[142] The LA Times reported the fight generated 1.3 million domestic PPV buys. Although HBO didn't make an official announcement, it is believed that the revenue would exceed $100 million.[149]
Álvarez vs. Golovkin II
Immediately after the controversial ending, talks began for a rematch between Álvarez and Golovkin. Álvarez stated he would next fight in May 2018, whereas Golovkin was open to fighting in December 2017. ESPN reported that Álvarez, who only had the rematch clause in his contract, must activate it within three weeks of their fight. On 19 September, Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez told ESPN that everyone on their side was interested in the rematch and they would hold discussions with Tom Loeffler in the coming days.[150] Ringtv reported that the negotiations would begin on 22 September.[151] On 24 September, Gomez said the rematch would likely take place in the first week of May 2018 or as early as March if a deal could be worked.[152] Despite ongoing negotiations for the rematch, at the 55th annual convention in Baku, Azerbaijan on 2 October, the WBC officially ordered a rematch. Gomez reacted by telling ESPN, "Regardless of if they did or didn't order the rematch, we are going to try to make it happen. We'll do whatever it takes to make it happen."[153][154] On 7 November, Gomez indicated the negotiations were going well and Álvarez would make a decision in regards to the rematch in the following weeks. It was believed that Golden Boy would wait until after David Lemieux and Billy Joe Saunders fought for the latter's WBO title on 16 December 2017, before making a decision.[155] On 15 November, Matchroom's Eddie Hearn, promoter of Daniel Jacobs, stated that he approached Tom Loeffler regarding a possible rematch between Golovkin and Jacobs if the Álvarez–Golovkin rematch failed to take place.[156] On 20 December, Gomez announced that the negotiations were close to being finalized after Álvarez gave Golden Boy the go-ahead to write up the contracts.[157] On 29 January 2018, HBO finally announced the rematch would take place in May on Cinco de Mayo weekend.[158][159] On 22 February, the T-Mobile Arena was again selected as the fight's venue.[160] According to WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman, Álvarez would fight Golovkin for their title this time around.[161]
In March 2018, Álvarez tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol ahead of the fight.[162] Adding to the controversy, Golovkin's trainer Abel Sanchez claimed that Álvarez had his hands wrapped in an illegal manner for the first fight.[163] On 23 March, the NSAC temporarily suspended Álvarez due to his two positive tests for the banned substance clenbuterol. Álvarez was required to appear at a commission hearing, either in person or via telephone, on the issue on 10 April. The commission would decide at the hearing whether the fight would be permitted to go ahead as scheduled.[164] On 28 March, MGM Resorts International, who own the T-Mobile Arena, started to offer full refunds to anyone who had already purchased tickets for the bout. They wrote, "In the event a fan requested a refund, they could get one at the original point of sale and in full." The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported the news.[165][166] The hearing was rescheduled for 18 April, as Bob Bennett filed a complaint against Álvarez.[167][168] On 3 April, Álvarez officially withdrew from the rematch. Golden Boy mentioned during a press conference it was hinted that Álvarez would likely not be cleared at the hearing and they would not have enough time to promote the fight.[169]
On 13 April, an unofficial source stated that Álvarez had checked into a private hospital in Guadalajara for an arthroscopy knee surgery.[170] A spokesperson for Golden Boy later said it was a cosmetic surgery.[171] After surgery, Álvarez posted a picture on social media with a caption reading, "I share that today I had to undergo an arthroscopic surgery to repair the internal femoral cartilage and eliminate a pathological fold of my right knee." Eric Gomez of Golden Boy later confirmed that Álvarez had "a cyst taken out of his knee" and there were no serious issues with his knee.[172][173]
At the hearing, Álvarez was given a six-month suspension, backdated to his first drug test fail on 17 February, meaning the ban would end on 17 August 2018. The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) stated that Álvarez was not enrolled in their testing program. His promoter De La Hoya then announced that Álvarez would return to the ring on Mexican Independence Day weekend.[174][175]
According to Golovkin on 27 April, before he defeated Vanes Martirosyan, a fight with Álvarez in the fall was still a priority. During a conference call, he stated it was the "biggest fight in the world" and beneficial for all parties involved. Although Golovkin stated the rematch had a ten percent chance of happening, Eric Gomez and Tom Loeffler agreed to meet and start negotiating after 5 May.[176][177][178] One of the main issues preventing the rematch to take place was the purse split. Álvarez wanted 65–35 in his favor, the same terms Golovkin agreed to initially, however Golovkin wanted a straight 50–50 split.[179]
On 6 June, Golovkin was stripped of his IBF title due to not adhering to the IBF's rules. The IBF granted Golovkin an exception to fight Martirosyan, although they would not sanction the fight and told Golovkin's team to start negotiating and fight mandatory challenger Sergiy Derevyanchenko by 3 August 2018.[180] The IBF released a statement in detail explaining its decision to strip Golovkin of the belt.[181][182] On 7 June, Golovkin's team stated they would accept a 55–45 split in favor of Álvarez.[183] Five days later on 12 June, Golden Boy gave Golovkin a 24-hour deadline to accept a 57½–42½ split in Álvarez's favor or they would explore other fights. At this time, Golden Boy were already in light negotiations with Eddie Hearn for a fight against Daniel Jacobs instead. At the same time, Loeffler was working closely with Frank Warren to match Saunders with Golovkin at the end of August.[184] Golovkin declined the offer and De La Hoya stated there would be no rematch. Despite this, some sources indicated both sides were still negotiating after a "Hail Mary" idea came to light.[185][186] Hours later, De La Hoya confirmed via his Twitter account that terms had been agreed and the fight would indeed take place on 15 September at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.[187][188] Golovkin revealed to ESPN he agreed to 45%.[189] Álvarez started training for the bout on 14 June and stated his intention to apply for his boxing license on 18 August.[190] It was confirmed that both boxers would not physically come face to face with each other until the fight week. A split-screen press conference took place on 3 July.[191] On 3 September, due to a majority vote of the panel, it was announced that the vacant Ring middleweight title would be contested for the bout. Doug Fischer wrote, "We posed the question to the Ratings Panel, which, in a landslide, voted in favor the magazine’s 160-pound championship being up for grabs when the two stars clash at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas."[192]
In front of a sell out crowd of 21,965, the fight was again not without controversy as Álvarez defeated Golovkin via majority decision after twelve rounds. Álvarez was favored by judges Dave Moretti and Steve Weisfeld, both scoring the bout 115–113, the third judge Glenn Feldman scored it 114–114. The result was disputed by fans, pundits and media. Of the 18 media outlets scoring the bout, ten ruled in favor of Golovkin, seven scored a draw while one scored the bout for Álvarez.[193][194] The scorecards showed how close the bout was, with the judges splitting eight rounds. After nine rounds, all three judges had their scorecards reading 87–84 for Álvarez.[195]
The fight was much different from the first bout in terms of action. Álvarez who was described by Golovkin's team as a "runner", altered his style and became more aggressive. Both boxers found use of their respective jabs from the opening round with Golovkin using his jab more as the fight went on. Big punches were landed by both fighters during the bout, with both Álvarez and Golovkin showing excellent chins. Despite the tense build up, both boxers showed each other respect after the fight. Álvarez made good use of his body attack, landing 46 compared to Golovkin's six landed. CompuBox stats showed that Golovkin landed 234 of 879 punches thrown (27%) and Álvarez landed 202 of his 622 punches (33%). Golovkin had the edge in jabs, landing 118 out of 547 (21.6%) compared to 59 out of 256 (23%) for Álvarez. However, Álvarez had the edge in power punches, landing 143 out of 366 (39.1%) compared to 116 out of 332 (34.9%) for Golovkin. In eight of the rounds Golovkin outlanded Álvarez in total punches whereas Álvarez outlanded him in power punches in 9 of the rounds.[196][197]
Álvarez stated that the fight was a "clear victory" and that "in the end, it was a victory for Mexico. And again, it was an opportunity. And I want to shout out to my opponent, the best in the sport of boxing. I am a great fighter, and I showed it tonight. If the people want another round, I'll do it again. But for right now, I will enjoy time with my family." Golovkin did not take part in the post-fight and made his way backstage where he received stitches for a cut over his right eye. He later responded to the defeat, explaining that "I'm not going to say who won tonight, because the victory belongs to Canelo, according to the judges. I thought it was a very good fight for the fans and very exciting. I thought I fought better than he did." Both fighters were open to a trilogy.[198]
The fight generated a live gate of $23,473,500 from 16,732 tickets sold. This was lower than the first bout, but still the fourth largest-grossing gates in Nevada boxing history. The fight sold 1.1 million PPV buys, lower than the first bout; however, due to being priced at $84.95, it generated more revenue at around $94 million.[199][200]
Super middleweight
Álvarez vs. Fielding
In October 2018, Álvarez announced that he would fight 31-year-old British boxer Rocky Fielding (27–1, 15 KOs) at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York on 15 December 2018, for the WBA (Regular) super middleweight title.[201] On 17 October 2018, DAZN announced that it had signed a five-year, $365 million deal with Álvarez, under which his next eleven fights would be broadcast in the U.S. by the subscription sports streaming service. The deal would begin with Álvarez vs. Fielding and replace his expired contract with HBO (which had also announced its discontinuation of boxing telecasts).[202][203]
Álvarez won via TKO after repeatedly downing Fielding with body shots. Following the fourth knockdown suffered by Fielding, referee Ricky Gonzalez stopped the match.[204]
Return to middleweight
Álvarez vs. Jacobs
Álvarez defeated Daniel Jacobs via unanimous decision 115–113, 115–113, and 116–112 on 4 May 2019, in a middleweight unification bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Álvarez defended his WBA (Super), WBC, Ring and lineal middleweight titles whilst obtaining Jacobs' IBF middleweight title.[205][206]

Álvarez vs. Kovalev
On 13 September 2019, Álvarez announced via social media that he would move up two weight classes to challenge WBO light heavyweight titleholder Sergey Kovalev on 2 November 2019, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.[207] Álvarez won the bout via eleventh-round KO to become a four-division world champion. He joined Thomas Hearns, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Mike McCallum as the only former junior middleweight champions in history to win a title at light heavyweight. Among them, only he and Hearns established their careers at welterweight and claimed the title at the 175 pound limit.[208][209][210][211]
For his 2019 campaign, he was named the fighter of the year by The Ring Magazine, ESPN, Sports Illustrated, and the Boxing Writers Association of America.[212][213][214]
Return to super middleweight
On 6 November 2020, Álvarez was released from his contract with Golden Boy Promotions after a lawsuit was settled for breach of contract.[215]
Álvarez vs. Smith
On 17 November via social media, Álvarez announced he would be facing Callum Smith on 19 December 2020 in a unification bout for the WBA and vacant WBC super middleweight titles.[216] The fight was held at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas.[217] Álvarez won by unanimous decision.[218]
Álvarez vs. Yıldırım
It was announced on 20 January 2021 Álvarez would be defending his titles against WBC mandatory challenger Avni Yıldırım on 27 February at the Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Florida.[219] Álvarez defeated Yıldırım by TKO after Yildirim's corner threw in the towel at the end of the third round. According to CompuBox stats, Álvarez outlanded Yıldırım 67 (40%) to 11 (11%) in total punches and 58 (59%) to 4 (22%) in power punches. In the third round, Álvarez threw 53 power punches.[220]
Álvarez vs. Saunders
After Álvarez's successful defense against Avni Yıldırım, Eddie Hearn confirmed Álvarez would be facing WBO titleholder and undefeated two-weight world champion Billy Joe Saunders in a unification bout on May 8 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.[221]
In front of a record breaking crowd of 73,126 for boxing attendance at an indoor facility, Álvarez won via stoppage after the eighth round where Saunders' team threw in the towel due to a fractured orbital bone. At the time of the stoppage, Álvarez was winning on the scorecards 78–74 (twice) and 77–75.[222] Throughout the fight, Álvarez outlanded Saunders 73 to 60 in total punches and landed 53% of his power punches.[223]
