Crawford and Alvarez have two of the best records in boxing.<\/p>\n

Crawford, 37, is a two-weight undisputed champion and is unbeaten in 41 professional fights. <\/p>\n

He has held world titles in four weight classes from lightweight to light-middleweight and was undisputed at light-middlweight and welterweight.<\/p>\n

The Nebraska native has 31 knockouts on his record and is known for a punishing, spiteful style and an ability to go through the gears quickly when needed.<\/p>\n

Crawford has big names on his resume including Amir Khan,<\/a> Errol Spence Jr, Ricky Burns and Shawn Porter.<\/p>\n

The dominant manner in which he beat domestic rival Spence<\/a> in 2023 confirmed his status as a generational talent. <\/p>\n

Crawford moved up to light-middleweight in preparation for this fight, winning another world title, but faces a fighter who is a natural super-middleweight.<\/p>\n

Alvarez made his professional debut aged 15 and has racked up 67 bouts since then. <\/p>\n

He has won world titles in four weight classes and is the only male fighter to hold all four belts in the super-middleweight division.<\/p>\n

He has never been beaten at that weight. His losses came against Floyd Mayweather at light-middleweight in 2013 and to Dmitry Bivol<\/a> at light-heavyweight in 2022.<\/p>\n

Alvarez has beaten Gennady Golovkin, Sergey Kovalev, Callum Smith, Miguel Cotto and Billy Joe Saunders.<\/p>\n

There is no big height difference but Crawford does have a reach advantage of 74 inches to Alvarez’s 70 inches.<\/p>\n

A lot has been made of Alvarez’s potentially slowing down after 520 rounds under his belt. Crawford has fought 245 in comparison.<\/p>\n

But the weight difference could be a deciding factor in this fight. Crawford has fought as low as lightweight, albeit last in 2014, while Alvarez has twice stepped up to light-heavyweight.<\/p>\n

In a fight where both men might be evenly matched in terms of ability, the difference in weight could well be the decider.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Crawford and Alvarez have two of the best records in boxing.
