I was with him in San Diego, and this is the moment where he’ll field all the offers from everybody. It could be Charlo from PBC, Beterbiev from Top Rank.
From us, it could be Bivol or Golovkin, which are two great fights,” said Hearn to on who Canelo will fight next on May 7th.
“It really comes down to money, of course, but also what he and Eddy Reynoso fancy, what they like. They’ve got all the money, they’ve got all the legacy, they’ve got all the belts.
“Canelo lives for the challenge, and it’ll come down to the fight he likes. The Golovkin fight is still the biggest in boxing; it’s the trilogy for the undisputed championship [at 168].
“Bivol is a great fight at 175 if he moves up and tries to become undisputed at light heavyweight. Charlo is another good fight, Benavidez; there are loads of fights.
“He’s earned the right to call the shots, and for me, it’s a dream working with him. When you’re around a fighter like Canelo, you start to realize the importance of confidence and mindset of a fighter,” Hearn said.
There won’t be any point in Canelo fighting Gennadiy Golovkin (41-1-1, 36 KOs) after this year because the Kazakh fighter will be 41-years-old in 2023. Fans will laugh at Canelo if he chooses to fight Golovkin with him being that age.
“He thinks he’s completely unbeatable, and he thinks he can beat Usyk,” Hearn continued. “I guess he thinks he can beat AJ. That’s just his mentality. He’s so good. Arguably the best fighter I’ve ever seen up close, but even across the generations.
“When I got to work with him, we did Saunders; we broke the indoor attendance record in Dallas. It was a dream come true, really.
“I don’t want to sound like a fan-boy, but if we can get his signature for a couple of fights, I’d be over the moon,” said Hearn.
