I would say Anthony Joshua, only due to how much Joshua can switch up game plans.
Joshua could if he wanted to gain 10-14 pounds in mass. He could also tactically fight a different kind of fight.
Alvarez cannot change his physical dimensions to the extent Joshua can, and all he can do in a rematch with Bivol 'Is fight harder'.
I don't think Alvarez can come with a different game plan, all he can do is increase the intensity of his original tactics.
But I will say one thing? They can both win the rematches. Alvarez would not call for a rematch, if he did not think he could win etc.

I was thinking this exact question earlier. Canelo is mentally stronger and has better fight IQ than AJ but he’s at a huge physical advantage against a very skillful guy. Joshua only has the physical advantages. Usyk almost finished AJ in the 12th and Bivol looked like he had still another gear whereas Canelo admitted he was fatigued. Both have very steep mountains to climb but AJ has the power to hurt Usyk whereas i don’t think Canelo can hurt Bivol with one punch. Canelo has it harder IMOComment

Interesting if Canelo does the rematch would he still go for the arms plan like he did with Callum Smith.
Bivol arms were a twisted bruised mess so Canelo went in with a gameplan to target his arms it didnt work this time.Comment

That third fight finished his career. He was a walking punch bag for 7 rounds. Fury pummelling Whyte has perhaps made Wilder's loss look more glamorous if you like.1st thing 1st, boxing fans have to be the most unappreciative group of fans I've ever seen. Everyone is saying that Joshua & Alvarez shouldn't fight Usyk or Bivol again in rematches...what do we want them to do then? Go fight bums for easy pick up fights.
They told Wilder to stay away from Fury & not fight a 3rd fight (1st fight was a draw) & even thought he lost, he gave a good account of himself in that 3rd fight.
Now on to my question, who has a better chance in their rematches? Alvarez or Joshua
in any case to answer your question both fighters adopted the wrong game plan but as good as i rate Usyk Joshua fought a horrendous fight and use all his advantages at his disposal. If AJ imposes his will and fights aggressively im not saying he wins but it will be much more competitive. He has to stop the movement of Usyk whilst Canelo is the smaller shorter, slower fighter . I wanted Canelo to win but he loses to BIVOL againComment
