I can see nothing special with Ilunga Makabu. The man may be bigger and heavier but I guess Canelo is very much in his peak right now. I think Canelo can dismantle this boxer easily. Compared to Caleb, I think Makabu is the easier opponent. This man might only end up being a punching against Canelo. Since he has a bigger body, he will just become a bigger and easier target. Canelo's power is a destroyer. Makabu will likely end up knocked out.
That remains to be seen because Makabu will be fighting in his comfort zone and obviously he is the bigger and heavier fighter. As I said, Canelo seems to be having problems fighting with heavier fighters, in fact, on one occasion it's stipulated in the contract the fight weight (forgot the opponent) so the opponent can't go bigger during the fight. Nevertheless, it's a good move for Canelo to push himself because there is not many fighters to fight in the Super Middleweight division. Of course everything remains to be seen. We are only looking at the various possibilities in this fight. I took a look at Ilunga Makabu's previous fight highlights and I cannot see how he would win against Canelo. If he cannot naturally float around for the entire 12 rounds, he will probably lose. Canelo's pressure is non-stop. It will definitely wear Makabu out. And also Canelo's chin could catch a strong and heavy punch. If Makabu will stick to brawling, he is no match for Canelo. In terms of boxing IQ, Ilunga Makabu must be much inferior to Canelo. *Please update your avatar and signature. A new set was released last Tuesday, November 16.I could say it was a big mistake for Canelo to jump to the next level, that probably it is not his comfort zone. If that prospected fight will commence, I don't bet Canelo. We know that he can fight hard and tough guys but with the height advantage of his opponent, that gonna be difficult for him honestly.
Well anyway, he can't learn more if he is not able to step forward and that was the time he could realize that he was wrong.
Are you then willing to put your money on Ilunga Makabu? The difference in height and reach is only around 4 inches. Caleb Plant has the same reach as Makabu and is even taller than him.

The difference in height and reach is only around 4 inches. Caleb Plant has the same reach as Makabu and is even taller than him.
They are friendly with each other on their first face-off Makabu promised that he will knock out Canelo and claimed he made a big mistake of jumping to Cruiserweight, of course, this is easier than done, all of Canelo's opponents promised to knock him down but it ends up the other way around, I don't see Makabu doing this to Canelo and I believe he can take punches from cruiserweight, Pacquiao goes from flyweight to welterweight and he can take punches from big men. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FgI0RA5r.jpg&t=665&c=XPapDw1hT926mw)

Since Canelo is moving to a higher level in the championship it will not be that easy for and no one should except much from him particularly now that is going to face an expert in that level who has lost fight since the last five years and not just that but has had 25 knockout win out of 28 victories.

Of course, moving up in weight is not that easy specially gaining 10-20 lbs. And obviously, this is not Canelo's natural weight. But we've seen how great Canelo is, and he is chasing more greatness by moving to a new weight classes. I wouldn't call Ilunga Makabu a expert, he has losses already. The timing is right for Canelo to move up and win another belt and faces one of the weakest champion in the Cruiserweight division.

This would be one hell of a fight knowing the background of both fighters, surely they would give the audience a great match. As we all know Canelo Alvarez is one of the greatest boxers we have right now. Alvarez has a reputable boxing record which made him famous because indeed, he fights so well and as an audience, you will never get bored of watching his battles because he is an aggressive boxer who knows well when to build up a defense as well. Meanwhile, Ilunga Makabu, despite his name not really being heard most of the time in boxing has a big reputation too. The cruiserweight champion has been in his position for a reason. Makabu has an inspiring story that showcases that anyone can bounce back after a failure.
Makabu has his fair share of losses that took a great impact on his boxing career. He started winning, ended up losing, and then he went back stronger on the boxing ring after his defeat. So far, Makabu has a record of 28 wins, 2 losses, and out of 28 wins, the 25 ones are all knock out's. His physique made an advantage for him to climb up on his position, and of course, his playing style most of all. They already have faced each other and both are very much confident they would win. It was said in an interview that Makabu is honored for their upcoming match because he wants to fight one of the bests after all. Makabu is confident he would bring home the titles and he'll show the difference of their divisions from each other.
I can't really tell who will be the fight's favorite because both uphold such great track records. So, I guess let's just wait and see because they would certainly bring thrill and excitement once their game has started.

Why not go and chase Bivol or Beterviev at LHW though? and chooses the weakest in the Cruiserweight champion in Makabu?
I think it's a warming up for Alvarez before he fight with top boxer in LHW. It's will be insane if he fight with Beterviev, he's a nightmare in this weight with excellent record 100% KO and remain undefeated. Since he fight with taller boxer, we will see many Alvarez's body shots to Makabu ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I'd say Makabu isn't weak... his punch is strong, but he's not fast as Alvarez this is the problem for him how to punch Alvarez more accurate.

Maybe he will target the LHW later, but his eyes right now on getting another belt regardless of the weight category. And this will be his what? I can't remember, 5 weight belt already? Canelo is already known for his body shots, but he has developed the left hook in recent years with Canelo that we seldom see him throw it. However, it is still a weapons for any of his opponents, we saw him throwing it against Caleb so soften him up in later rounds.

I also think that this is the best moment for Canelo to pass to a higher weight class. In terms of skill I'm sure he'll be a better fighter than Makabu. The only thing that a Makabu can threaten him is strength. If Canelo dictate fast speed and pressure from the start, he would either win via KO or he would run out of strength.

Well, I think there is no need for him to stay at middleweight division and maybe he wants challenges as well like what he did when he jumped at a higher division and fought Kovalev. Now he is doing it again. Like always since this is a huge jump from him, I'm not expecting too much from Canelo this time but if he manages to win this then... its the start of the new era for him again ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) . After unifying the middleweight division, he wants to try another division again and this is a good start for him. I'm not belittling Makabu though but I think that Canelo has the upper hand here at least just because of how he is performing during his last fights. Still, Makabu is strong base on the videos that I saw on Youtube.

Honestly, to any boxer, moving up on weight class is more efficient compare to going down. It's hard to reach much lower weight requirements and that results in a dehydrated body. Canelo has a good decision to step up since no room for any achievements now on his current stage as he already claimed the title "undisputed" champion.
But don't be deceived by Ilunga Makabu from being a not-known or unpopular boxer to others here. I'm sure he will give a Canelo a difficult match.

Canelo's power is a destroyer. Makabu will likely end up knocked out.
You have to consider that Canelo is the one stranger in Makabu's division. It's different from what happened in Caleb Plant where Canelo is already used to fighting on that division. Makabu will welcome Canelo at his convenient zone. I will never treat this fight against Makabu as easier compare to Caleb Plant.

Yes, definitely not an easy fight for Canelo, maybe he was really great at 168 lbs but this is a new territory for him weighting as high as 180 lbs for this fight. Not sure what Canelo's walking weight though, but it seems that above $170 lbs is too big for him. So let's see how will his body will adjust if he is hit by a legitimate CW in Makabu, maybe we can see some reaction from Canelo for the first time.

Is Canelo asking too much that he jumps from Super Middleweight to Cruiserweight, almost a heavyweight, I remember DeLa Hoya jumping from welterweight to Middleweight against Hopkins, Dela Hoya's additional weight put too much pressure as he cannot move fast but this is something interesting, Canelo wants to be the greatest Mexican boxer of all time and he cannot achieve it by being a champion in 4 weight category he must conquer territories, he has a great trainer in Reynoso, but the pressure in this weight category is too much.
He can't be the greatest boxer of all time because at his age now, he cannot surpass the achievement of Manny Pacquiao which is the only 8th division world champion. however, he can always try to move up in weight and be a champion in such weight, we just have to believe in him just like him believing himself he could. He can be one of the greatest, but in terms of money earned he can surpass and become the biggest earner in boxing history, he's been fighting and beating champions in their prime, and he's going to the cruiserweight division means huge money coming in and new records and legacy reach, right now all eyes are on Canelo we are in Canelo's train which is now unstoppable and I don't think Makabu can stop the train.

I'm quite new to hearing the name Ilunga Makabu because maybe I don't really follow boxing and I only see boxing matches from names that really make me curious about their performance. but if you look at the thread you wrote, it looks like Ilunga Makabu is a boxer that can't be underestimated either because even though Canelo is now in high confidence, this class is different. is there a date and where to watch this match? I'm really excited to see this match.

Canelo is a hard man, have seen many of his fight and he has always been in the winning side. He is an experienced fighter, makabu is an interesting fighter too, I can't predict how this match will be.

Great decision by Canelo Alvarez, moving up gives him a better opportunity to prove that he can become a champion in a high division. There's nothing for him to prove since he is already an undisputed champion in his current division. This fight has no official date yet but there's speculation that it will likely happen next year between May and June. At the time of writing, an official date has yet to be announced by the WBC but what we do know is that the bout will be taking place around May and June 2022, giving the Mexican plenty of time to acclimatise himself to his new surroundings. ================ source : https://www.givemesport.com/1787062-canelo-alvarez-vs-ilunga-makabu-date-when-will-the-fight-take-placeI thought that he will eventually move up a division but I thought that at first he could defend his titles once or twice before moving up, this proves the guy is ambitious and it is not afraid to make bold moves, it is going to be interesting to see if he can adjust to the division, after all the heavier the boxer the heavier the punches, so while in his division he was known as someone with a lot of punching power this is not going to necessarily remain true the higher he moves up.

He already made history being an undisputed champion in his current division, so there's no reason to stay and still continue defending his title. He is trying to challenge himself as most of his wins are easy wins, against a heavier and bigger opponent he might struggle, but we can't make a conclusion unless we see him fight.

Since Canelo is moving to a higher level in the championship it will not be that easy for and no one should except much from him particularly now that is going to face an expert in that level who has lost fight since the last five years and not just that but has had 25 knockout win out of 28 victories.
Canelo Alvarez is a much better boxer than majority of the fighters and he is not moving up in the level of technical skills but in higher weight division and Canelo Alvarez is on a league of his own and he will be much faster and the skill level will be evident during the fight. I have not seen any of the fights by Ilunga Makabu and he is under the radar only because Canelo Alvarez is fighting him.

This match is going to be a tuff one for Canelo, because he's moving from a low weight category to the next level. Makabu is already on the same weight category. This gives Makabu an added advantage on the match. Being an undisputed one will try to keep the winning momentum continue. Let's wait for the day.
