    He can only do three things:

    1. Fight Charlo or Andrade or GGG again.

    2. Fight other Mexicans Benavidez or Zurdo in all Mexican brawl, guaranteed to make money

    3. Go to LHW and try to unify another division, is only 7lb higher. Which he definitely could do given how terrible both Beterbiev and Bivol looked in their last outings. Bivol also inactive more than anyone, and ripe for pickings. Joe Smith barely won his title, and only has one punch and zero defence, Canelo would batter him. This this is very much do able!

    Zurdo or Beterbiev. The others he rinses.

    Beterbiev looked like crap in his last fight
    Zurdo seems to be invisible, haven't heard or seen him...where is he at?

    Mayweather rematch:eusa_dance:

    No If he moves up to 175 Beterbiev or Bivol

    At 168 there is David Benavidez left, a 3rd Golovkin fight or Ramirez.

    If he moves down to 160 also a 3rd Golovkin fight, Charlo or Andrade

    I hope there won't be a catchweight fight with Beterbiev or Bivol.

    He beats the crap out of frauds like Charlo and Andrade at the same night. 160 journey is useless.

    He said that he will never fight other Mexicans. Benavidez fight will never happen. His 168 journey looks like over.

    Bivol and Beterbiev at 175 are the only sensible options.

    He’ll probably defend against Benavidez or Zurdo for Cinco de Mayo, so he may deal with a mandatory challenger between then and now in spring 2022

    Then afterwards, in autumn 2022 he’ll go for a belt at 175

    My guess is UK bout against Zach Parker and afterwards a big fight against either Charlo, Benavidez or Beterbiev.
