What more can Canelo Alvarez go on to do, if he is victorious against Caleb Plant?

If he beats Plant, what more can Canelo Alvarez go on to achieve?

Rocky Fielding
Fought Canelo in 2018

He’s good enough to step up a weight. There’s Jermall Charlo and another Gennady Golovkin fight, I’d be interested to see. But at light-heavy he’d have good success at that weight too.

Joe Gallagher
Trained Liam & Callum Smith

I think everyone wants to see the third Gennady Golovkin fight. Will Canelo move back up to 175lbs and try to unify? In that division you’re thinking there’s going to be a changing of the guard soon. Artur Beterbiev isn’t young anymore. There’s Dmitry Bivol, Joe Smith. I wouldn’t rule it out.

Ryan Rhodes
Boxed Alvarez in 2011

I’d say when Canelo beats Caleb Plant, the only fights out there would be to beat the best at middleweight, a rematch with Gennady Golovkin or fight Jermall Charlo, or the best at light-heavyweight, Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. He’s already beat the best super-middleweights.

Tony Jeffries
Olympic medallist

There interesting fights like David Benavidez and Jermall Charlo but the only challenge I see is at light-heavyweight. Canelo had some trouble before the KO with an aged Sergey Kovalev so Artur Beterbiev or Dmitry Bivol would be extremely attractive and interesting match ups.
