Canelo Alvarez may have the most expanded radar in the boxing sphere at this point, which goes across multiple weight classes. From middleweight to cruiserweight, Alvarez can dive deep into any of the weight categories. That said, he will take a trip back to 175 lbs and face WBA champion Dmitry Bivol on May 7.
However, Alvarez has several more names available onboard. On winning against Bivol, he will be eligible to compete against Gennady Golovkin in a trilogy in the super middleweight category. That said, middleweight stars like Jermall Charlo, Demetrius Andrade, and super middleweight elite David Benavidez have also desired to battle the current P4P king in the past.

‘Boo Boo’ Andrade had even hijacked Alvarez’s post-fight press conference in May to offer himself for a fight. Well, Canelo Alvarez has finally responded to all the champions wanting to face him.
In a chat with ESNews, the Mexican superstar said, `“I’ll fight anybody, but they need to fight each other too. They’re just waiting for me because they want a good payday. I know that, but they need to fight each other and I’ll fight the winner of all of it.”

On his last move to the light heavyweight division, Canelo Alvarez knocked out Sergey Kovalev in highlight-reel fashion to earn the WBO strap. While he can repeat the same ahead, Bivol may be a tougher opponent to crack. 19-0 as a pro, Dmitry Bivol has defended his belt ten times already.
