Canelo Alvarez hopes to unify all the belts at 168 lbs. So he will have to overcome Caleb Plant and Billy Joe Saunders to grab the IBF and WBO titles.
He is no longer associated with Golden Boy Promotions and can select his own opponents. So, Alvarez can pick up those fights in 2021 to expand his empire.

Ryan Garcia is the WBC Interim champion and can validate his mandatory spot to challenge Devin Haney for the lightweight belt. But he wants to face Gervonta Davis first.
If Floyd Mayweather and Oscar De La Hoya can find some middle ground, 2021 will witness ‘Tank’ vs ‘KingRy’ with Davis’ WBA strap at stake.
Do you think Ryan Garcia and Canelo Alvarez will continue their dominance in 2021?
