Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez wants a rematch with Floyd Mayweather - should the undefeated American come out of retirement.

'Money' handed the Mexican the only defeat of his professional career to date back in 2013 before appearing to call time on his own time in the ring after extend his record to an unblemished 50-0 with the defeat of Conor McGregor last year.

Mayweather has talked up a return in recent weeks with former foe Manny Pacquiao and UFC star Khabib Nurmagomedov touted as potential opponents.

But Canelo, who faces Brit Rocky Fielding in New York in December, is keen to get his shot at redemption first.

Indeed, he believes should he get the opportunity he can right the wrong of five years ago.

“That's something I would love,” he told Sports Illustrated. “If he wants to come back and is still motivated to come back, he should do it right and give me the opportunity to have that rematch and demonstrate who is better.

“I think in that first fight, experience beat me as I was very young. And I don't have much more to say other than his experience beat me and he is a great fighter.

“I'd love to have the opportunity to prove myself at this point in my career.

“I think it would be very different and if he is willing to come back, I would love to have that rematch, show the people who is truly the best. I guess we'll see.”
