In her BBC Sport column, boxing analyst Claudia Trejos says Mexican Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez may only be appreciated after he retires.

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has won 60 fights, with two draws and two losses, since making his debut in 2005.Mexican Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez , 33, will put his WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF super-middleweight titles on the line against compatriot Jaime Munguia, 27, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday.

Canelo may be a global superstar, but the Mexican fans in particular have always been split in their opinion, and we saw that again at Tuesday’s grand arrivals in Las Vegas. This is a man who was a father at the age of 16, while juggling his boxing career. He is not a kid who showed up out of the blue and instantly became a star.Former light-middleweight champion Jaime Munguia has won all 43 of his pro fights and beat Briton John Ryder in JanuaryHe had an astonishing run-in with his former promoter Oscar de la Hoya, who is representing opponent Jaime Munguia.

There were calls from the boxing public for Canelo to face a different Mexican instead – the hard-hitting David Benavidez. Benavidez is on a high with lots of knockouts and it's not like Canelo is saying he will be done after Munguia. I truly believe the Benavidez fight will happen – just not right now.Are we nearing the end for Canelo’s career? At 33, maybe. But how soon will it be? Only he will know.His pride in his performances will not allow him to get to a stage where his career peters out with losses.
