Canelo Alvarez is on a dominating but flawed run.
The Mexican superstar easily outpointed Callum Smith and then stopped Avni Yildirim in consecutive meetings that weren’t great on paper and even worse in the ring. And next up is Billy Joe Saunders, a good boxer with no power who almost certainly will be trampled by Alvarez.
Saunders (30-0, 14 KOs) has the ability to stick and move in the early rounds, which could frustrate Alvarez (55-1-2, 37 KOs) to some degree. However, the master predator will catch up to him soon enough and it won’t be pretty.
The solution? Alvarez, once known for taking on all-comers, needs to focus less on winning title belts and more on the man across the ring from him.
With that in mind, here are 10 potential foes who have a better chance than Smith, Yildirim and Saunders to defeat the man many consider the best fighter in the world.
They are presented in order of the best chance to emerge victorious (by percentage).
