Canelo Alvarez’s stock has dropped to the lowest it has ever been following an update to the pound-for-pound boxing rankings.
Canelo and Terence Crawford fought for the undisputed Super Middleweight title in September.
Despite going into the fight as the big favorite because of his size advantage, the Mexican was dominated by ‘Bud’ Crawford who dethroned Canelo to become the new undisputed champion.
Canelo was without a world championship for the first seven years after his defeat, which could mark the end of an incredible career.

Canelo is no longer in the top 10 of the P4P rankings
This past Monday evening, the Ring Magazine’s pound-for-pound rankings were updated, and they are the most widely recognized pound-for-pound rankings in the sport.
The Mexican was not ranked in the top 10 for the first time since 2018, when he had been removed from the rankings after testing positive for an illegal substance. This is another blow to him.
Devin Haney replaces him in the top 10. He won the WBO Welterweight Title this past weekend after winning the unanimous decision victory over Brian Norman Jr.
Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez also made his way into the top 5, overtaking Dmitry Bivol, after defending his four flyweight world titles.
Canelo’s recent foe, Crawford, remained at the top of the list with Oleksandr Usyk and Naoya Inoue being the other two fighters occupying the top 3.
