While Bivol is seen as Canelo’s main rival, other potential opponents are waiting in the wings. David Benavidez and Jermell Charlo are both possible opponents for the end of 2023 and if Canelo decides to fight three times this year, he could face two top fighters. It’s not just his impressive record or his raw talent. Canelo consistently demonstrates in the octagon that he no doubt is a great warrior.

Canelo’s status as the greatest Mexican boxer of all time will undoubtedly be contested. However, one thing is for sure his legacy has already been established in the annals of combat sports history. Few fighters can even begin to imagine the accomplishments he has made possible, and his tenacity in retaining his championships and taking on the most difficult opposition speaks volumes about his character and passion.
Thus, we can only stand back and awe at Canelo’s talent as he gets ready to fight his next opponent in the ring. He will live on as a bright example of what it is to be a genuine fighter, regardless of whether he ends up being the best Mexican fighter of all time, a “pure-bred” GOAT.
