Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant: Will the height and reach advantage make a difference?

In a sport such as boxing, you can use any kind of advantage over your opponent against them. As such, height and reach advantages do sometimes make a big difference in fights. The taller lengthier opponents use their reach advantage to keep their opponent at an arms-length, engaging them comfortably and using the distance to avoid getting hit.

However, after 57 bouts inside the ring, Canelo Alvarez has fought and conquered opponents much taller than him. Canelo is pound-for-pound the best boxer for a reason. In his fight against the much taller Callum Smith, he was able to close the distance and absolutely annihilate Smith over the course of 12 rounds.

Plant, on the other hand, is not a knockout artist. He uses his exceptional boxing IQ and movement to slip and counter beautifully. The 3.5-inch reach advantage can work in favor of Plant if he uses it well and does not allow Canelo to close the distance. This fight will be a game of chess between two of the most highly skilled boxers.
