Canelo First stepped inside a boxing gym aged 13 to learn how to stave off barrio bullies who teased him over his hair, freckles and pale skin. From the onset, he was coached by the father-son training team of Jose ‘Chepo’ Reynoso and his son Eddy. Twelve years on they continue to tutor Alvarez today. Though his amateur career was restricted to just 20 bouts, ‘Canelo’ was a two-time Mexican junior champion. On the advice of Reynoso senior, he dropped out of high school to join the profession in October 2005, just three months past his 15th birthday, because it was proving impossible to persuade fellow amateurs to fight him. Canelo has had total of 50 fights, he has also fought the most famous boxer who is Mayweather, he sadly didn’t win. But for going for that big boxer who is famous it’s a good thing. Alvarez became the youngest ever to hold a version of the world super-welterweight
