The article made a passing comment in this sentence: "His talent is undeniable and with his new team he is more motivated than ever to get back to the top." That's because he's not with Marc Ramsey anymore, who wanted him to retire. Here's an article about it from May of 2021: https://www.boxingscene.com/eleider-...ramsay--158053

From the end of the article:

After his setback, trainer Marc Ramsay had wanted Alvarez to seriously consider retirement.

“There were two things that bothered me more,” said Ramsay. "The first is his weight between fights. I wanted him to stay around 200 lbs. The last time we met he was 225 lbs.

“Then I wanted him to prepare a post-career project. He still hasn't planned anything yet."


I guess Eleider decided to just stick closer to his out of shape weight. Seems like a winning strategy.

I mean, more power to him. But it's not like he was winning at the lower weights.
