Canelo destroyed Yildirim yesterday. His next fight has already been announced for May 8.
Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders, unification fight for Canelo's WBA (Super), WBC, The Ring, and Saunders' WBO World Super Middleweight Titles
Saunders:
30-0-0-0
Former WBO Middleweight Champion, 3 defenses
Current WBO Super Middleweight Champion, 2 defenses
Key wins: Andy Lee, David Lemieux
He's a much better opponent than Yildirim but I don't see him beating Canelo.
After this fight Canelo needs one more belt to become undisputed at 168. Caleb Plant has the IBF belt. Canelo and Plant are also #1 and #2 at TBRB, so a hypothetical fight between them would also be for the lineal crown.
