Saul Canelo Alvarez wouldn't let retirement plans b wasted! Man's going to stack resume that bad you'll scroll far just to finally see a tomato can!

That's a really good question, larry. Taking a run through:

Obviously eliminated:
Too Old: Usyk, Crawford, Golovkin, Pac, Wilder, Beterbiev
Little guys don't age well: Estrada, Roman

Close, but no cigar:
Spence - already 30, don't think he ages well, close fight vs. Porter, couldn't knock Mikey out.
Joshua - has potential, but has gotten buzzed a few times, vs. Whyte, Wlad and Ruiz. Likely to suffer another loss.
Callum - excellent skills, good resume. Lack of marquee opponents at SMW/LHW, looked vulnerable. Already 30.
Bivol - good, but not great fighter at every dimension. 29. Don't think he has the power to keep elite LHWs away from him. Will he get premier matchups?
Navarette - excellent fighter, right age, but don't think he'll get enough marquee opponents
Loma - has a shot, but in effect is too old. He'd need to clean up 135 and 140 in next 3 years, including the trifecta of Haney/Lopez/Tank - I doubt all 3 will take the fight until he's older.
Loprez - has a shot, but IMO he's just not skilled enough and will get outboxed eventually.
Tank - good skills, good power, not disciplined, Will be undersized for glamour divisions. Likely to get outboxed later.
Shakur - will lack power as he ages and will get overwhelmed. If he can pump some roids or significantly improve his frame at 135, he has a shot. For Floyd comparisons.. Floyd was a devastating puncher at lower weights.
Ramirez - was a solid boxer with OK power at SMW. Need to see more at LHW if he filled out. Poor promotion, may not get defining fights in his career.

Contenders:
Canelo - slightly on the older side (will be 39 in 2029). Has fought most of the guys at his natural weight (160). As he ages and his reflexes slow, likely to get outboxed against bigger, longer fighters. But.. doubt Canelo at your own peril!
Benavidez - only 23, barely unlocked his potential. Has that extra gear. Looked vulnerable vs. Gavril though.
Inoue - right age, are there enough marquee match ups? Small fighters are historically at a disadvantage for FOTY though.
Fury - has a really good shot if he can keep the head on his shoulders. Will there be enough marquee matchups if he beats Wilder again and then Joshua? He's proved he has a chin and the skills. HWs age well. Wild card.

My pick:
Haney - only 21, excellent skills, good power, good head on his shoulders. Should grow into a WW, a prestigious division. If he can beat Lomachenko before he turns 35, that's a great scalp for him.

Canelo just needs to fight 5 years against names... and he will get it like mayweather did

Stevenson has the best shot.

[-DSG-]

Teofimo Lopez.

[Earl-Hickey]

Fury has a good shout the only question is can he stay on the rails, if he can nobody will beat him. He's also a heavyweight with a big personality who can make for huge events.

The problem with the lower weights is there are skilled guys but they are all vanilla midgets with no personality, and if you are a vanilla midget with no personality you better have an explosive style producing spectacular ko's

Gonna go with Inoue. Now that he's signed in America he can be a huge fan favorite with his skills and style
