Kovalev's best chance would be to try to outpoint Alvarez. He can hurt Eleider, as shown in rnd 4, but showed he can box well in spots. That would be better than a brawl in which he gets ko'd again. It would be tough to win a rematch though, but possible.
Despite being a de****able, arrogant racist when he was winning and on top of the world, you gotta give Kov credit, he is and has always been eager and ready to fight anyone. That’s a quality that’s hard to find in fighters these days.
