It is one of the best Mexican fighters of today. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez again demonstrated his dominance as welterweight champion on Saturday, a victory that even today continues to enjoy as much as the time when the crowned once again saw his dream.

That is why we take a look at the five moments that have marked the short but successful history of "Canelo".

1) The ring of A Star is Born

It was on October 29, 2005 when the youngest of seven brothers boxers began his career in the Arena "Chololo Larios" in Tonala, Jalisco itself that gave birth to the new promise of sport fists, because his 15 years at an TKO blunt, Abraham Saul Alvarez defeated Gonzalez in a debut with his right foot which ultimately would bring more success.

2) The big leagues

He had reached the age of 20 when the "Canelo" received the best news of his career, as the developer "Golden Boy" Oscar de la Hoya signed September 20, 2010 the boxer Jalisco in a contract that sealed 10 fights or three years and the amount of which was never revealed, which was intended to boost the career of Alvarez not only in Mexico but in the United States.

3) World Middleweight Champion

After failing to tackle the race for the welterweight title of the World Boxing Association, the WBC gave his vote for the Mexican fought middleweight title vacated by Manny Pacquiao after it had made no defense in three months giving them the opportunity to "Canelo" to dispute it with Matthew Hatton. The satisfaction catapult and give the spotlight to Alvarez. Come on 5 March last year when he won the World Championship Middleweight World Boxing Council's unanimous decision to win the British backdrop of the Honda Center in Anaheim California.

4) Fourth defense

Having emerged victorious from the strife against Ryan Rhodes, Alfonso Gomez and Kermit Cintron, the Mexican boxer faced the fourth defense of his middleweight title on 5 May this year against Shane "Sugar" Mosley at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. This was perhaps the most fierce and complicated struggle that has faced the "Canelo," which won a unanimous decision to retain his title and, in a fight that was the prelude to that held Miguel Cotto and Floyd Mayweather.

5) Stellar Victory

He arrived when expected and Saul Alvarez finally starred in his first bout in Las Vegas star, where it sought to endorse his title for the fifth time in the middleweight and that was face to face with Josesito Lopez. Five rounds were enough for the Mexican left no chance to the U.S. and take the fight by TKO, making it clear he's ready to be measured with more senior rivals.
