Canelo's oppurtunity to really move forward.

Let's hope Canelo faces a legitimate threat soon. I guess Kovalev had size and a puncher's chance but he looked like a shot fighter to me,
I'm in the minority but I think Alvarez's tactic of moving up and down in weight and targeting weak champs, hurts his legacy. I'd rather see him choose a division and fight the top guys, proving he's the dominant fighter at that weight.Comment

Canelo seems to consistently fight for belts. He unified with Jacobs whom is at 168 now. He won the WBO from Kovalev.Let's hope Canelo faces a legitimate threat soon. I guess Kovalev had size and a puncher's chance but he looked like a shot fighter to me,

Definitively beat GGG at 160, 168 or a CW in between. Add in Andrade or Charlo for extra credit with the same weight guidelinesHow much credit would you give Canelo with this schedule. Lets be honest it probably wouldnt happen but wish it would. The Covd 19 period has really stalled boxing. Canelo could really cement his legayc if when things get back to normal, he really push his legacy with these 4 fights. David Benavidez at 168, then GGG 3 at either 160 or 168, Then Bivol at 168 or 175. Then finish with Beterbiev at 175. That would really help set him up as an alltime great.
Beat two of BJS/Callum Smith/Benavidez/Plant at 168
Beat one of Beterbiev/Bivol at 175
That would be an impressive run for someone in their 30sComment

Canelo still needs a signature win.
He should fight Benavidez at 168 or Bivol or Beterbiev at 175, if he wants to be remembered as a legend.Comment

As much as I love GGG, if Canelo wants to chase greatness he should skip another fight with him and take on 168 and even 175 champs. Beating GGG again does nothing for his legacy (1st fight he lost, 2nd he won pretty clearly).
He's got the speed and smarts to beat the bigger guys.
And yet , still no mention of Beterbiev
Coincidentally , right after the Derevyanchenko fight , he’s back to Wanting to fight GGG
That’s legacy right there but it also explains his selection of fights if he goes through with itComment
