Believe him or not, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez maintains that his career vision is more of an event-by-event analysis rather than a grand plan extending years into the future. Despite the angst that may cause others, the sport’s most popular fighter has relied on his own reasons this year to wait out the possible future tasks of meeting unbeaten light heavyweights David Benavidez and Dmitry Bivol, and to instead turn toward a pair of 27-year-old super middleweight contenders whose combined knockout rate is just under 75 percent.

Isaac “Pitbull” Cruz had been riding a high ever since his competitive loss to Gervonta “Tank” Davis back in December 2021. Although there was a caveat to that night — Davis had a hand injury — Cruz was able to leverage that performance into additional opportunities, culminating in a move up to junior welterweight to win a world title over Rolando “Rolly” Romero in March 2024.
