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?
