5 Biggest Boxing Fights Still To Come In 2013

1. Floyd Mayweather vs. Saul Alvarez The most exciting match up of 2013 is undoubtedly Mayweather-Alvarez. These two undefeated fighters have dominated opponents over the past few years and this really is a clash of the titans. These two fighters are arguably the best pound for pound boxers around in boxing today. Mayweather has not had a bigger fight than this since Ricky Hatton back in 2007, this will be a real test for pretty boy. Alvarez is only 23 and already has 43 fights to his name including names like Shane Mosley and Austin Trout on his record. The match will take place next month on the 14th of September at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and it will be for the WBC and WBA light middleweight titles. Mayweather has proven he is the greatest pound for pound boxer of this generation and is now finding himself on the wrong side of thirty, there is a thirteen year age gap between the two warriors. Despite this Mayweather shows no signs of diminishing boxing skills, although Mayweather's great ability is his intelligence in the ring. This is by far the best fight that can be made in boxing at the moment without Pacquiao-Mayweather coming to blows. Alvarez has been impressive in his last few fights but I don't see him getting past Money Mayweather on this occasion.

'It's gonna be tough, it's gonna be tough. I gotta go towards Floyd a little bit. It's gonna be tough, because we don't know because Floyd is older. This guy is gonna hit him, but it's just difficult to bet against Floyd if you're really honest with yourself. It's really difficult to bet against him because he's been so superior over all of the fighters during the duration of his career.' - Mike Tyson
