    Let's talk about Canelo's next route if Bivol rematch won't happen.

    If Zurdo spanks Bivol or Bivol doesn't wanna rematch despite his win, Canelo's route would be interesting. 175 will be removed from his life. Bivol puts legacy before payday.

    First option is return to 160 which is semi-dead division. Charlo and Janibek are middle difficulty fights. GGG will retire after the BS Falcao mandatory. He can become undisputed in two fights. He already destroyed "he can't make 160 anymore" claims by being at his thinnest since Jacobs fight in Golovkin 3. Also, he made 160 after 168 in the Jacobs fight. So, he can easily make 160.

    Second option is trip to UK and Europe. He is famous in North America and South America but not Europe. He can promote himself in this way. He may fight Ryder vs Parker winner at 168 which is another middle difficulty fight. Hitting two birds with one stone. Then, Plant vs Benavidez winner is possibly opponent for him. There is no reason there isn't the Plant vs Benavidez fight after Benavidez beat Uzcategui.

    Both options are good but 160 is better in terms of legacy. I don't think Canelo will stay much more in the sport anymore. Retirement is possible after 2-3 fights. What do you think?

    Nahh nahhh... Nelo needs to avenge his humiliating loss to Bivol... Nelo claimed he's still the best boxer out there since he's the only one constantly seeking bigger challenges.... He needs to convince Bivol to fight him again despite the one-sided beating he got from Bivol... Nelo should make an offer which Bivol can't refuse... How about a high 8-digits payday?

      It's already set up b/c Canelo told you a time ago and Warren put everything in motion if Bivol chooses not to beat up Canelo again. Andrade offered 1/10th of his original purse so the fanboys can call him doo doo (yawn) and duck (yawn). That puts Parker vs Ryder in play for a 168 automatic mandatory. Two fighters are even lamer than Sweet Cheeks Plant. Canelo said he wants a United Kingdom fight, right? Well played for the rock-in-the-head boxing fans. Canelo wants to put his show on the road just like the other cash cow, AJ. I am guessing at some point they may convince him to fight Benavidez in Mexico and beat him up too. He can take all the stimulants he needs to offset Benavidez's work rate without getting tired. Still believe Haymon wants to sell Spence to Canelo at 164 in Arlington to a packed house. That's why the Crawford stuff can't get done. Let's hear the fanboys say they never offered Spence 164 in that $100 million deal.

          No one needs to avenge his loss. If Bivol wanna his legacy, we should leave him alone. He is one of the rare species who put legacy before payday.

          Canelo can become GOAT at 168 by keep defending his belts there. Or, can return to 160 to become 2x undisputed. Those are legacy too.

            Canelo fighting anybody at 168 not named benavidez is a duck

              Hearn said in an interview today that Canelo is ready to fight Bivol in march if he wins vs Zurdo, that means this whole injury claim and taking a year off was all hot air. Canelo is ready to go. He will fight the winner of Parker/Ryder almost 100%

                Should fight Charlo next but I’m not sure if Charlo wants to loose.

                  Canelo needs to stop with the "history" bull**** if he's not gonna go on an undisputed reign and take on everybody at 168. Not fighting somebody or dropping any titles makes "first ever undisputed super middleweight" mean very little

                    From here on out, Nelo can do as he pleases.
                    I'd love for him to fight Biv again.
                    If Plant wants to try again, let him.
                    If Usyk wants some, let's go

                    While ''old'' assed GGG takes on a few Falcao's before retiring.
