Canelo won't fight on Mexican Independence Day weekend for the third straight year as he looks to book an opponent for late fall
Canelo Alvarez has never been one to shy away from a challenge and it is rare for any opponent to pass up an opportunity to make a career-best payday against the top attraction in boxing. Still, those factors did not add up Canelo and Caleb Plant successfully booking a super middleweight unification fight on Sept. 18. A bout with Plant was the well-established target even before Canelo shattered Billy Joe Saunders' face in May. Still, negotiations fell apart in the final stages of the process and Canelo missed out on a Mexican Independence Day weekend fight for a third straight year. So, what is next for the Mexican superstar? Let's take a look at the top three options for Canelo's targeted November return.
