Does Canelo Alvarez have more belts than Floyd Mayweather?

With his most recent victory over Billy Joe Saunders, Canelo Alvarez now has more world titles to his name than Floyd Mayweather.

However, certain parameters were taken into consideration to generate a list of this sort. They are the following:

• Grabbing the same title twice will not be considered as grabbing a new title
• The World Boxing Association titles, i.e. the WBA (Super), and WBA (Regular) titles, will be considered as different. A WBA (Super) champion is crowned when the boxer, who wins the title, held other world titles prior to winning the WBA title. The WBA (Regular) title is a separate title that is limited to the WBA roster.

What is next for Canelo Alvarez?

Canelo Alvarez, who is currently fighting in the super-middleweight division, now holds 3 of the 4 world titles in the division — WBO, WBC and WBA Super Middleweight world titles.

The fourth title (IBF Super Middleweight title) currently rests on the shoulders of American boxer Caleb Plant.

The Mexican, who aims to unify all the major world titles in the 168-pound division, has already made his callout to Plant. Should Alvarez manage to beat Plant and win the IBF world title, he will join the list of boxers who have completely dominated entire divisions by holding all four major world titles.
