Is it possible for Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 knockouts) to be vulnerable? The Mexican great lost his pound-for-pound crown – if not any actual belts – last time out in May, having lost to Dimitry Bivol on a unanimous points decision. Canelo had moved up to light heavyweight for the fight, but struggled to match the Russian's superior reach, excellent jab and all-round ring craft.
Falling 115-113 on every scorecard, Alvarez was unable to cut the distance to his rangier opponent and unleash his trademark bodyshots, with many believing he'd bitten off more than he could chew against a high-class opponent who was more natural at the weight.
Now back on more familiar turf, the undisputed world super middleweight will put all his straps, plus the Ring magazine gong, on the line in taking the biggest fight available to him against his eternal rival Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 knockouts) in their trilogy bout.
The pair have previous. Golovkin, a brilliant amateur who won Olympic silver in 2004, is still simmering at what he (and many watchers) believes was a robbery in the pair's first bout in September 2017. That fight was scored a controversial split draw, with one judge's scorecard of 118-110 for Canelo widely derided in a tight contest that Golovkin probably edged. Canelo rightly won a majority decision a year later in the rematch by getting on the inside and roughing up his skilled Kazakh opponent.
Canelo says he's going to retire Golovkin with a third win, while Golovkin – desperate for revenge against the only fighter to beat him – says Canelo is "deluded" and over the hill for thinking he actually beat Bivol earlier this year.

Who will win? Canelo vs GGG 3 predictions
Despite that unexpected second loss of his career against Bivol in May, Canelo will start as favourite. The Mexican is the naturally bigger man and made the necessary adjustments after the pair's first fight to take the decision in the rematch.
Canelo's brutal work on the inside chips away at his opponents' stamina, as Brit Callum Smith found to his cost in their world title fight a couple of years ago, and Golovkin must maintain the distance if he's to cause an upset.
Golovkin probably has the better skills, particularly at range, but at 40 could age finally be about to catch up with him? Our prediction is a Canelo win on points, perhaps with a late knockdown helping him along.
Canelo Alvarez profile
Who is Canelo Alvarez? One of the greatest pound-for-pound fighters in history, that's who. Canelo – Spanish for 'cinnamon' and local slang for ginger-haired people – is something close to a living god in Mexico. He's a born fighter who turned pro when he was just 15 and has barely ducked a challenge since.
Before that Bivol defeat, his only defeat came in 2013 to hall-of-famer Floyd Mayweather, who forever ducked a rematch thereafter as Canelo developed into a genuine great.
The four-weight world champion holds every belt, plus the Ring magazine strap, at super middleweight and knows he must beat Golovkin to keep his reputation as one of the most-feared fighters on the planet.
Gennady Golovkin profile
Another pound-for-pound king ranked by no poorer judge than the Ring magazine as their list-topper from September 2017 to September 2018, after having that controversial draw with Canelo. Nicknamed Triple G, he has wins against Daniel Jacobs, Kell Brook and David Lemieux on his impressive CV.
Golovkin is a natural middleweight – where he holds the IBF, IBO and WBA (Super) belts – but that hasn't stopped the Kazakh moving up in weight to fight his nemesis, the only person to ever beat him.
