Walk of Fame: Manny Pacquiao and Roy Jones

This Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez will defend his super middleweight world titles against the undisputed super welterweight world champion, Jermell Charlo.

We remember the legacy of the best champions of the super welterweight and super middleweight divisions as a tribute and a fillip to Canelo and Charlo, who will provide a titanic blockbuster, since it is the first time that two undisputed champions face each other, each one being divisionally supreme.
