Canelo Alvarez had a brutal response for McGregor after being trolled
McGregor, 35, fought an exhibition against Mayweather, 46, in 2017.
The highly-anticipated bout saw the UFC superstar make the switch to boxing.
And despite an impressive early start, McGregor was eventually outclassed before losing to a 10th round KO.
He was just the latest in a long line of top fighters taken down by Mayweather, who boasts an incredible 50-0 record.
One of those who struggled to get the best of the American was Canelo, now regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet.
His 2013 light middleweight championship bout with Mayweather ended in defeat following a majority decision.
It was Canelo’s first ever loss and just his second in 64 career fights to date.
Many agree Mayweather’s performance went down in history, with the ace dominating throughout.
