if canelo is able to return next may i think the winner of this fight would be the perfect comeback opponent to test his hand against after eight months out & surgery. if canelo wins there then the winner of david b v caleb would be perfect for september next year
British super-middleweight Zach Parker thinks Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez is on the decline and "there to be beat".
Parker, 28, is preparing to fight fellow Briton John Ryder for the vacant WBO interim belt at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday.
The winner will be in prime position to fight champion Alvarez.
"You just need the right style against him," Parker told BBC Sport. "You need to be big enough and have power to keep him off you."
Alvarez, 32, has won 58 of his 62 fights, with his two defeats against Floyd Mayweather at light-middleweight in 2013 and Dmitry Bivol at light-heavyweight in May this year.
He followed that latest loss by beating Gennady Golovkin on points in their trilogy fight in September, but Parker thinks the Mexican has underperformed recently.
"He's on a downward spiral at the minute," Parker said. "I think he's there to be beat.
"He lost to Bivol and he didn't looking amazing against an old Golovkin.
"I'm buzzing to get a world title and it adds that extra bit with Canelo. That's the sort of fights you want to be in boxing for.
"He's not just one of the best boxers out there, but you get a lot of money from that fight which will provide for my family."
He must first get past 34-year-old Ryder, who has five losses and 31 wins in his career.
Parker, meanwhile, is undefeated in 22 pro fights and on a run of five stoppages in a row, but has not fought since November 2021.
He was due to fight Demetrius Andrade this summer but the American twice pulled out of a scheduled date and the WBO eventually offered Ryder the chance to contest the vacant interim title.

Eddie Hearn wants Canelo Alvarez vs John Ryder at Emirates Stadium
Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn has confirmed that he wants to book Canelo Alvarez vs John Ryder at Emirates Stadium next year.
There are a handful of truly ‘top’ stars in the sport of professional boxing – and Canelo Alvarez is certainly one of them.
The Mexican sensation has had his fair share of ups and downs over the years but through it all, his talent inside of the squared circle has rarely been called into question.
Now, in the wake of his latest appearance, the search has begun to see who will take him on in 2023.
A rematch with Dmitry Bivol is likely being lined up for September of next year but as often tends to be the case, Canelo is interested in also fighting in May.
British fighter John Ryder, who holds the WBO interim super middleweight title, has been calling for a showdown with Alvarez for quite some time. His most notable win came earlier this year against Daniel Jacobs and, for the most part, he hasn’t looked back since.
In the mind of Eddie Hearn, it makes sense to book the two against one another at the home of Ryder’s beloved Arsenal Football Club.
“I am so pleased for John Ryder. Since he beat Daniel Jacobs, we’ve been looking for this big fight,” Hearn said.
“I’ve already texted Eddy Reynoso to say, ‘John Ryder is mandatory, let’s go in May at the Emirates’. It would be a dream for Ryder, he deserves it.
“He is a very good fighter and he’s the mandatory challenger for Canelo Alvarez. This could be our chance to bring Canelo to the UK, it would be unbelievable. We’ll see if we can get it over the line.”
Canelo Alvarez will almost certainly be going down the route of taking a fight in May.
With that in mind, you’d have to think Eddie Hearn will throw everything he can at boxing’s top dog in order to secure a major payday on British soil.
The Emirates would be an incredible location for an event of this scale and with Spurs putting on a similar show on their own turf, it’d reaffirm North London as an amazing destination for combat sports.
Buckle up, because 2023 is going to be a big one for the UK.
