Why Canelo is the favorite: Canelo Alvarez, 35, has an impressive record of 63-2-2, including 39 knockouts. He was the undisputed middleweight champion until he was stripped in July 2024 due to a lack of title defenses. His reputation as a four-division world champion adds to his credibility.

Why Crawford is a threat: Terence Crawford, soon to be 37, hails from Omaha, Nebraska, and boasts an unbeaten record of 41-0 with 31 knockouts. He aims to become the first male fighter to capture undisputed titles in three weight classes.
