Logan Paul recently offered his take on the name that Canelo Alvarez has built for himself over the course of his lengthy career in boxing and how his latest loss at the hands of Dmitry Bivol affects the legacy that he will leave behind.

Canelo Alvarez locked horns with Dmitry Bivol at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 7, Saturday. The reigning WBA light heavyweight champion managed to retain his title by outperforming Alvarez over the course of the fight by way of a unanimous decision.

The loss marked just the second setback of his career. Alvarez was previously bested by Floyd Mayweather way back in September 2013 by way of majority decision.

While in conversation with TMZ Sports, 'The Maverick' admitted that although Alvarez had recently suffered a major setback in his career, he is far from being a washed boxer.

Paul argued that Alvarez is still one of the greatest boxers the sport has ever seen. However, he admitted that his legacy had been marred with a stain, one that will likely remain on his record forever.

"That whole situation is sad. Oh, man! No, he's not washed. He's [Canelo Alvarez]. He's not washed. He's one of the best boxers ever. But it does just suck. What a stain on a legacy. It's just a stain. But it's there."
