There is a terrifying force of nature on the horizon.
It's a red-headed thunderstorm whom they call "Canelo."
Saul Alvarez is a state-of-the-art fistic calamity. He's often described as a pressure fighter (of sorts). He is becoming a master of angles and is excellent at cutting the ring off from his opponent—but that doesn't do him justice.
His patience inside of the ring is indicative of his boxing cunning. He lulls his opponents into a serene state—entrancing them within the eye of the storm.
And then he brings the thunder—in the form of two clenched fists.
Alvarez's combinations are traumatizing. His hand speed is blistering. His head movement, deceiving. His need to be great, insatiable.
That's how he's been able to put together an incredible record made up of 42 wins and zero defeats.
And he takes this inextinguishable will to win with him when he ducks his head under the ropes and steps into the ring with pound-for-pound kingpin Floyd Mayweather Jr., on September 14 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
But before Alvarez's attempt to shape his future for glory, take some time to reminisce about his past. More specifically, the 10 most impressive victories of his career.
These aren't necessarily his best wins, or those of the highest quality; but, given their own particular circumstances, they are "Canelo" Alvarez's most impressive triumphs to date.
