Canelo, the undisputed super middleweight champion from Mexico, brings a record of 63 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws to the ring. Crawford, an American who has held titles in multiple weight classes, comes in undefeated with 41 wins and 31 knockouts.
The match presents a big challenge for Crawford. He's moving up to the super middleweight division, a weight class where he hasn't competed before. This jump could prove tricky for the former welterweight champ.
Looking at their recent activity, Canelo has been busier. Since 2015, he's fought 21 times compared to Crawford's 16. In the last two years alone, Canelo has boxed 48 rounds while Crawford has only seen 12.
Both fighters have faced tough opponents, but Canelo's list stands out. He's gone toe-to-toe with boxing greats like Shane Mosley, Floyd Mayweather, and Gennadiy Golovkin. Crawford has had his share of big fights too, beating guys like Yuriorkis Gamboa and Viktor Postol.
"Canelo has fought more established stars at their peak," said a boxing analyst. "He's been in there with epoch-making fighters like Mayweather and Golovkin. That gives him a real edge in experience."
Crawford's recent wins, while impressive, have come against fighters past their prime. His victory over Errol Spence Jr, for example, came after Spence had suffered a serious car accident and vision problems.
The fight will take place at Allegiant Stadium, home of the NFL's Raiders. It's a massive venue for what promises to be a massive fight.
As the weekend approaches, fans and experts alike are eager to see how Crawford handles the weight jump and if Canelo's experience will prove too much. One thing's for sure – this bout between two of boxing's best has got everyone talking.
