Potential Opponents for Canelo Alvarez: Who Will He Fight Next?

Canelo Alvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion, is set to defend his titles against Jaime Munguia on May 4 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Despite Munguia’s impressive record and former champion status, he is considered a big underdog in this matchup.

While Munguia is a formidable opponent, fans are eagerly awaiting to see who Canelo will face next. The Sporting News has compiled a list of five potential opponents for the Mexican superstar, should he come out victorious against Munguia.

One of the potential opponents is David Benavidez, the interim WBC super middleweight champion. Despite the anticipation for a showdown between Canelo and Benavidez, it seems unlikely to happen anytime soon as Benavidez is pursuing other opportunities.

Another contender on the list is Edgar Berlanga, the WBA No. 1 challenger. Berlanga’s impressive knockout streak caught the attention of many, but he will need to prove himself against tougher competition before facing Canelo.

David Morrell, the WBA regular super middleweight champion, is also mentioned as a possible opponent for Canelo. However, Morrell’s high risk and low reward status may deter Canelo from pursuing this matchup.

Christian Mbilli, the WBC No. 1 challenger, is another contender who could potentially face Canelo. Despite his readiness for a world title fight, Mbilli’s promotional ties may complicate a potential matchup with Canelo.

Lastly, Diego Pacheco, the WBO No. 2 contender, is a young and promising fighter who could face Canelo in the future. With his impressive record and size advantage, Pacheco could pose a challenge to Canelo.

As Canelo continues to dominate the super middleweight division, fans eagerly await to see who will step up to challenge the Mexican superstar next. Stay tuned for updates on Canelo’s future opponents and potential matchups.
