Canelo Alvarez is a most wanted person at the moment.

Shortly after finishing his waistline with Caleb Plant’s IBF super middleweight title on November 6, to become the first undisputed champion of the discipline, Alvarez had little time to eat. happy.

As the Mexican star tried to enjoy his win, he was hit with offers from both PBC’s Al Haymon and Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn. As for Haymon, he is said to have offered Alvarez a two-fight $100 million deal to take on current middleweight champion Jermall Charlo and former two-time super middleweight titleholder David Benavidez.

On the other hand, Hearn has also offered Alvarez a two-match contract. In match number one, Alvarez will face WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, followed by a third and perhaps final fight with Gennadiy Golovkin.

Having fought some of the best boxers of his generation, including Bernard Hopkins, Shane Mosley, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Fernando Vargas, and a long list of Hall of Famers, Oscar De La Hoya watches both The deal is remarkable. However, when asked who would present Alvarez with the toughest challenge in the ring, the former six-division player pointed a finger in the direction of PBC.

“As a fan, as a former boxer, I would pick Charlo and Benavidez because they are the tough guys. They are real threats,” De La Hoya said in an interview with KO Artist Sports. “I’ll choose them.”

Although De La Hoya sees PBC’s offer as a bigger challenge, Alvarez is said to be still weighing both offers. Although the Hall of Fame boxer turned promoter enjoys the sound of head-to-head confrontations with Charlo and Benavidez, he has a hunch that Alvarez will eventually go the other way.
