On Saturday, Saul "Canelo" Alvarez proved his prowess, dominating Jermell Charlo and retaining the undisputed super middleweight championship. So who's next for Canelo? Let's find out!
The victor of the scheduled Nov. 25 showdown will be the front-runner to challenge Alvarez for the undisputed status at 168 pounds.
There's a compelling narrative at play, with the larger Charlo twin aiming to avenge his brother's loss. Initially, Jermall was slated to face Alvarez but wasn't prepared, allowing Jermell to step in and face the consequential outcome.
Terence Crawford, undefeated at 40-0 (31), is widely seen as the best fighter after defeating Errol Spence for welterweight supremacy. This status might challenge Canelo Alvarez, known for valuing his superstar reputation.
This was the much-anticipated rematch that Canelo desired, especially after Bivol's victory with a score of 21-0 (11) in May 2022. The potential rematch appeared to be in the works for some time. However, Bivol's dominant win in the light-heavyweight division might have made Alvarez reconsider or seek advice before pursuing a return.
David Morrell Jr. (9-0, 8 KOs) showcased his prowess in his last fight on the Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia undercard, securing a first-round knockout against Yamaguchi Falcao. Without a scheduled fight, a potential match between Canelo and Morrell would be a clash of top-tier boxers and super middleweights.
