Eddie Hearn believes Jermall Charlo will be the easiest fight for Canelo Alvarez
Matchroom Boxing promoter and chairman Eddie Hearn has spoken out about Canelo's rumored opponents. While on The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, he spoke about why Jermall Charlo will be the easiest option for Canelo:
"I see Gennadiy Golovkin as a much more brutal fight than Jermall Charlo and I see Dmitry Bivol as a much more technically tricky fight than Charlo, but Charlo's also a great fighter. I think Charlo's the easiest fight of the three."

Eddie Hearn has promoted Canelo in his last few fights and is on good terms with the Mexican pound-for-pound king. It will be interesting to see if Canelo Alvarez goes with Hearn's offer or if he chooses to go with Al Haymon and PBC.
