Canelo Alvarez will Be inactive Until the Second Quarter of 2026 Due to Elbow Surgery. He injured the injured During His Loss to Terence Crawford Ther Month 13th 13th.

Timeline for Canelo’s 2026 Return

According to ESPN, The Mexican Star Canelo (63-3-2, 39 Kos) Will Recover For Two Months From The Surgery, and then An Additional Additional “12 to 15 weeks” Before he can resume traing. The Surgery Will Be in San Diego, California.

So, Undiscuted Former Super Middleweight Champion Canelo Fighting in His Third Fights of His Fight Contract Contract With Turkey AlalShikh’s Riyadh Season, He’ll Need to wait from May to September.

Possible Opponents for Canelo’s Comeback

• Terence Crawford (rematch)
• Chris Eubank Jr.
• Hamzah Sheeraz
• Christian Milli

With The Money That Turki Can Invest In Marketing A Fight Between Canelo and One of These Fighters, It Could Be Successful Venture. There wouldn’t be a high degree of interest from the American Market in Watching Canelo Fight Sheeraz, Eubank Jr. Or Milli. IF Turki Invests Gazillions Into Advertising, It Would Do Well.

Placing Canolo’s Fight On Netflix Will Likely Result In A Massive Viewership. The UK fans Would Like to See Canelo Fight Sheeraz Or Eubank Jr., As They’re One Of Their Own.

A Rematch with the 38-year-old Crawford (42-0, 31 kos) Would be the best to give him a chance to avenge His 12-round unanimous decision Loss.

Ideally, it would better for fans to see Canele Fight Someone Else, Like Milliz, Lester Martinez, David Benavidez, Or Osleys Iglesias. Fans Would Prefer to See Canelo Fighting One Of All-Action Fighters Rather Than Seeing Crawford Again As His Opponent.

Nation Vegas’ Take: Crawford Rematch Would Be A Money Grab

Having A Rematch With Crawford Take Place Would Be Like A Money Grab. Additionally, it wasn’t on Exciting Fight to Watch. Crawford ran Around the Ring, Boxing, Engaging Rately The Rounds of the Championship Rounds. For Fans Who Enjoy Chess Matches Between Older Fighters, They Happy With The Fight. For The Majority of People Who Demanded Action, They Are Disappointed.

Terence’s Style has never entertaining entertaining to watch, which is one of the contributing factors Why His Former Promoters Top Rank Were Were Never Able To Turn Him Into A Star. From Nation Vegas’ Perspective, The Only Entertaining I’d Ever Seen From Crawford Was Against Rol Spence.

Contrary to Popular Belief, Crawford Wasn’t Avoided by Other Fighters Throughout His Entire Career. Hey Got The Fights Heeded at 135 and 140. He didn’t run Intil he moved up to 147, and couldn’t get fingernails Against These Fighters:

• Manny Pacquiao
• Rolling tense
• Keith Thurman
• Danny Garcia
• Shawn Porter

Crawford Eventually got Fights Against Spence and Porter. So, it wasn’t a big deal like Many Fans and Certain Members of the Media Played It Out.
