He has held world titles in four weight classes from lightweight to light-middleweight and was undisputed at light-middlweight and welterweight.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.Crawford has big names on his resume including Amir Khan, Errol Spence Jr, Ricky Burns and Shawn Porter.The dominant manner in which he beat domestic rival Spence in 2023 confirmed his status as a generational talent. 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.Alvarez made his professional debut aged 15 and has racked up 67 bouts since then. 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.He has never been beaten at that weight. His losses came against Floyd Mayweather at light-middleweight in 2013 and to Dmitry Bivol at light-heavyweight in 2022.Alvarez has beaten Gennady Golovkin, Sergey Kovalev, Callum Smith, Miguel Cotto and Billy Joe Saunders.There is no big height difference but Crawford does have a reach advantage of 74 inches to Alvarez's 70 inches.A lot has been made of Alvarez's potentially slowing down after 520 rounds under his belt. Crawford has fought 245 in comparison.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.In a fight where both men might be evenly matched in terms of ability, the difference in weight could well be the decider.From selling ice creams to selling out stadiumsPublished5 May 2023'Beautiful to watch' - Is Crawford era's greatest?Published30 July 2023What belts are on the line in Canelo v Crawford?Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Alvarez has won 11 different world titles in four weight classes in his careerAlvarez will be defending his super-middleweight world titles.The WBO, WBA, IBF and WBC belts will be on the line, as well as the Ring Magazine title.Who are the judges for Canelo v Crawford?The referee will be Thomas Taylor.The three judges at ringside will be Tim Cheatham, Steve Weisfeld and Max DeLuca, all from the United States.Interestingly, this is the same team which scored Manny Pacquiao's controversial majority draw with Mario Barrios in July.What is the Canelo v Crawford fight week schedule?Tuesday - grand arrivals from 02:00 BSTThe Fontainebleau hotel hosts the arrivals of all the fighters at 18:00 local time.Wednesday - open workouts 02:00 to 04:00All the boxers will conduct a workout for the media from 18:00 local time at the Fontainebleau hotel.Thursday - news conference from 02:00The T-Mobile Arena hosts the news conference will feature the main event stars from 18:00 local time.Friday - weigh-in from 17:00 & 02:00There will be the official and ceremonial weigh-in on Friday.
