After losing to Dmitry Bivol at light-heavyweight and beating Gennady Golovkin in 2022 with a less-than-stellar performance, there were some concerns about whether Alvarez’s finest years were behind him.
Alvarez was expected to do admirably against Ryder. Even though he didn’t get the knockout, he defeated a tough opponent with ease on a night when the stakes were extremely high.

David Benavidez, Dmitry Bivol or Others ?
The British challenger was knocked out and his nose was damaged by Alvarez, who then cruised to victory with scores of 120-107 on one card and 118-109 on the other two, improving his record to 59-2-2.
Ryder, who is 32-6, had a four-bout winning streak snapped.
It was Canelo’s first match following surgery on his left wrist in March of last year. In his previous four fights, including his defeat to light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol a year prior, he claimed the injury had slowed him down.
Boxing fans are pushing for a mouthwatering matchup between David Benavidez and a former world champion. The American is unbeaten and has won 23 of his 27 matches by knockout.

On the strength of his jab and movement in the huge 22-by-22 ring, Plant jumped out to an early lead, but Benavidez was able to damage his opponent numerous times.
Over the course of the second half of the super middleweight battle, Benavidez’s relentless pressure wore down Plant, and Benavidez eventually won by scores of 115-113, 116-112, and 117-111.
This is why he is an ideal opponent for Canelo Alvarez

Also fans and experts like mike Tyson has been calling for it .
Alvarez claimed he wants to become the second two-time light-heavyweight champion and get revenge for his loss to Bivol.
Alvarez scoffed at the notion that Bivol may lose weight and retorted, “Same rules, same terms, same everything.”
There aren’t many fights where Alvarez would enter as the underdog, but the elegant Bivol emerged victorious in the opening round.
