- Unbeaten? Some would say Gennadiy Golovkin is unbeaten, insisting he deserved to win his draw and subsequent loss to Canelo
- Still No. 1: Despite losing to light heavyweight belt holder Dmitry Bivol in May 2022, Canelo is still considered BoxRec's top pound-for-pound boxer. He is No. 6 in RING's list.
- Odds: Per Gaming Today and as of May 24, Canelo is the favorite at -410 while GGG is a +320 underdog
- Ages: Canelo is 32; GGG is 40. Some believe the latter has slipped since the pair last fought in 2018
- Height/Reach: Golovkin is about 2 1/2 inches taller and the reach difference is negligible (roughly 70 inches)
- Top Ranked: Canelo and GGG are rated No.1 in the super middleweight and middleweight divisions respectively by BoxRec
