Canelo Alvarez
• Nationality: Mexican
• Age: 34
• Height: 5′ 7.5″
• Reach: 70.5″
• Total Fights: 66
• Record: 62-2-2 (39 KOs)
William Scull
• Nationality: Cuban
• Age: 32
• Height: 5′ 11.5″
• Reach: 73″
• Total Fights: 23
• Record: 23-0 (9 KOs)
Scull’s 4-inch height and 2.5-inch reach advantage could force Canelo to adjust his trademark body-head combinations. However, Canelo’s superior footwork and experience against taller opponents (e.g., Callum Smith, Rocky Fielding) may neutralize Scull’s physical edge. Scull’s lower knockout rate (39%) suggests a reliance on decision wins, while Canelo’s power could prove decisive in the later rounds.
