In the world of boxing, opinions on the greatest victories can spark endless debates. Jermall Charlo, the skilled light middleweight contender, has weighed in on the matter, revealing his choice for Canelo Alvarez’s most remarkable triumph among his 39 knockouts.
Charlo, along with his team, has dedicated considerable time to scrutinizing Alvarez’s illustrious career. In a recent interview, Charlo left no room for ambiguity, asserting that Canelo’s 2019 victory over Sergey Kovalev towers above the rest.
“Kovalev was a really good win. He was much bigger and stronger than him, and he still annihilated him. That was a really good win, that I consider Canelo’s best,” Charlo declared emphatically.
Canelo Alvarez’s audacious move up to light heavyweight to challenge Sergey Kovalev for the WBO title turned heads across the boxing world. Kovalev, though slightly past his prime, remained a force to be reckoned with in the 175-pound division. The sheer audacity of the move demonstrated Canelo’s determination to etch his name in boxing history.

As the date of their highly anticipated showdown on September 30th approaches, it’s undeniable that Alvarez will enjoy physical advantages over Charlo, who has spent his entire career in the light middleweight division. Charlo, often dubbed ‘Iron Man,’ is well aware of the challenge ahead.
While the odds may favor Canelo, recent performances have left some observers speculating about his form. Questions have arisen about whether he’s beginning to show signs of decline. Charlo, on the other hand, is optimistic and hopeful that he might have chosen the perfect moment to face the four-weight world champion, potentially securing a monumental payday and a chance to become undisputed champion in a second weight class.
Nevertheless, a Charlo victory over Alvarez would still be a shocker. Alvarez, regarded as one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the sport, has consistently displayed his exceptional skills and adaptability in the ring. Charlo’s confidence and determination will be put to the ultimate test.
In the end, the boxing world eagerly awaits this clash of titans. Charlo’s assertion that Canelo’s triumph over Kovalev stands as his best win serves as a testament to the enduring fascination and endless discussions that surround the sweet science. Regardless of the outcome, this showdown promises to be a historic moment in the annals of boxing.
