The Mexican superstar gets to call the shots for his return, but these are the names currently being discussed
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez showed the world on Saturday night that he still has plenty left in the tank. The Mexican superstar dominated Jermell Charlo to remain undisputed super middleweight champion. The performance was so dominant that it appears talk of Alvarez's skills declining may have been a gross overreaction to a handful of disappointing performances.
After winning nearly every moment of the fight with Charlo -- who entered the fight as undisputed junior middleweight champion -- there is a renewed interest in what Alvarez's next step will be.
Alvarez made it clear that he intends to fight on Cinco De Mayo weekend and no one in the business would stop Alvarez from what he wants, especially when that is putting the Mexican superstar in a fight on a Mexican holiday weekend. That seems to lock his return date in for May 4, 2024.
