Canelo Alvarez witnessed a cracking boxing run in 2021. He also went on to become the maiden undisputed super-middleweight champion in history. Since then, he’s trending all over for his next fight that is expected to be at a bigger weight class. Earlier, it was reported Canelo will square off with Ilunga Makabu for his WBC cruiserweight title. However, the possibility of this fight seems less.
Eventually, fans began drawing comparisons between Alvarez and the WBC and IBF light heavyweight champ, Artur Beterbiev. A matchup between these two was discussed ever since Alvarez competed in the 168-pound landscape. But is Beterbiev the toughest opponent for the p4p king?

Stevenson hits you like it’s to compare with something. It’s like somebody shooting you from the sniper rifle. This guy, he just, he just, I don’t know, he just has a really heavy fists.”
Beterbiev is one of the most terrifying boxers in the 175-pound division. He holds an immaculate track record of 17 wins.
On top of this, all of his wins arrived via T/KO. Beterbiev himself seems to have reached saturation in the light heavyweight division. However, if he squares off with Canelo Alvarez by any means, needless to say, the undefeated boxer will be in for the toughest test of his career.
