6. Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez
Alvarez is combat sports’ biggest superstar and the most valuable athlete on the planet. His rise and achievements are ridiculous. The unified middleweight champion of the world is enroute to repeat the same feat at light-heavyweight. His power-punching and body work are some of his most effective techniques and have enabled him to defeat bigger and longer opponents.

Canelo lost to Floyd Mayweather but there should be a disclaimer. He was just a young man and has evolved substantially since then. Furthermore, he defeated respected fighters like Sergey Kovalev, Gennady Golovkin, and Miguel Cotto. He is also a four-weight champion. Alvarez is a force of nature and a dangerous threat to every boxer on the planet.
