LAS VEGAS — Canelo Alvarez says he's the best fighter in the world, despite what Terence Crawford has done, and the Mexican superstar, who defends his undisputed super middleweight title Saturday at T-Mobile Arena against undisputed super welterweight champion Jermell Charlo, has a pretty good case for himself.
Alvarez is sizable -425 favorite at BetMGMCharlo is a highly skilled fighter, though the one accurate knock on him is that he hasn't fought the same level of opposition as Alvarez.Is two-weight class jump too much to overcome at this level?
Lalonde agreed to make 168 and the WBC agreed to sanction it, and so both titles were at stake, giving Leonard access to a potential fifth weight class title. The only significance of that was for the record books. So, ultimately, what is the impact of the weight? It's an advantage to Alvarez, to be sure. He's comfortable and strong at 168, and Charlo hasn't fought that yet. But it's not a momentous disadvantage and it's one Charlo can overcome if he fights well and avoids major errors.Alvarez has officially lost twice, to Floyd Mayweather in 2013 and to Dmitri Bivol in 2022.
That's never been an issue for Alvarez in his career, though his admission to GQ Sports about his effort suggests it has happened at least once.
