"Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KOs), who already has won 11 world titles across four weight classes, will aim to secure his place as one of the greatest boxers of this generation by retaining his undisputed status and putting the first blemish on two-division undisputed champion Crawford's record. Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) is moving up two weight classes in an attempt to become the first men's boxer to achieve undisputed status in three weight classes."
"Crawford, ESPN's No. 3 pound for pound fighter, wants to prove that he's the best in the world by pulling off the upset against boxing's biggest star. "I have more to lose than him," Crawford told ESPN. "There are so many people who can't wait to say that I'm not as good as people thought I was. But Canelo has something to lose, too, because it would tarnish his career if a fighter came up two weight classes and beat him.""
