Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders: The Breakdown
AGE AND PHYSICAL EQUIPMENT
CANELO: A professional since 2005, it is amazing to think that the 55-1-2 (37) Canelo is still only 30 years old – and seemingly improving with age. Arguably in his fighting prime, the bull-necked Mexican is a strong and stocky super-middleweight standing at 5ft 8ins. Despite being three inches shorter than Saunders, the duo share a very similar reach (71ins for Saunders and 70 1/2ins for Canelo).
SAUNDERS: Although he is a year older than Canelo, Saunders is the fresher of the two, having contested 30 pro bouts (all victories, 14 inside time) compared to Alvarez’s 58.
