Canelo vs. Kovalev: Height, weight, age and reach of the top light heavyweight title fighters

Between Canelo Alvarez and Sergey Kovalev, who face off at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Saturday, Nov. 2 on DAZN, there's no question who has more starpower.

Alvarez is the biggest star in boxing, taking over the mantle from Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

For Kovalev, who has been a light heavyweight champion for much of this decade, the match with Alvarez is perhaps the biggest moment of his career. 

Canelo is a heavy favorite, but Kovalev will be doing all he can to make sure this opportunity doesn't slip through his hands, knowing it may well be his last shot of a marquee fight.

So, how do Alvarez and Kovalev stack up?

This is Alvarez's first fight as a light heavyweight, moving up two weight classes, and he weighed in at 174.5 pounds Friday.

Kovalev, meanwhile, came in a quarter pound overweight, but he returned a few minutes later and was at 175 pounds, right at the maximum weight.

Here's the complete info on Alvarez and Kovalev, along with the weigh-in results of the full fight card.
