The 36-years old light heavyweight champ stands at six feet tall while Alvarez is at 5’8”.

“I’m worried about him [Canelo] jumping two divisions. [Kovalev] He’s a big guy, has a powerful jab and one punch can end it,” he added.

Alvarez is a natural middleweight wherein he is hailed as the best pound-for-pound boxer.

He then skipped the super middleweight and went right at the light heavyweight division to challenge the Kovalev.

In numbers, the 29-year old Canelo will be adding 15 pounds to his weight to achieve the 175 pounds requirement.

Alvarez is a three-division world champion and is vying to make a history of becoming the first Mexican boxer to win belts in four different divisions.

He is currently holding a record of 52 wins with 35 knockouts, one defeat, and two draws.

On the other hand, Kovalev is known as the best active light heavyweight fighter.

The Russian has a record of 34 wins including 29 knockouts, three losses, and one draw.

Despite the speculations on whether Canelo can keep his power, skill, and speed on a much heavier weight, analysts concluded that body shots will be the key to his success while Kovalev has to look for the knockout with his reach advantage.
