CANELO ALVAREZ will fight Caleb Plant to be the undisputed super-middleweight champion of the world.
If he beats the American, there won't be many who argue against him being the best pound-for pound.
Canelo Alvarez, a four-weight world champion
The Mexican is already a four-weight world champion - it wouldn't surprise if he dreams of a chance at heavyweight or cruiser in the future.
However, there are many other stars who claim to be the kings of the ring after the events of the past month in the heavyweight division.
SunSport's top 10 boxers, ranked pound for pound, is shown here - it was not an easy task.
1 Canelo Alvarez
Alvarez, a Mexican hero, has become boxing's most prominent star since Floyd Mayweather left the sport.
Canelo, who was 23 years old when he lost to Mayweather in 2013, has gone on to dominate the super-welterweight/middleweight divisions and also won a super-middleweight world title.
He defeated Billy Joe Saunders' hopes and also his eye socket with a stoppage victory last time.
Next is the unification bomber against Caleb Plant. But the Mexican seems unbeatable at the moment.
2 Josh Taylor
Amazingly, Taylor doesn't seem like he gets the respect he deserves.
Scott, 30, has fought some great warriors along his journey to UNDISPUTED super lightweight champion.
Taylor is now the face Sky Sports' new boxing era, without Eddie Hearn. It's about time.
On December 18, he will be next in action when he defends Jack Catterall's titles.
3 Terence Crawford
Crawford is just as elegant in the ring than he is out.
He is the most powerful switch-hitter in the game, and his combination punching can overwhelm anyone.
American is balanced, making him a good counterpuncher. Julius Indongo also knows this. However, he can be as deadly as a box-puncher and often wins in the latter rounds.
Crawford won the world titles at super-lightweight, lightweight and super-lightweight. He is currently WBO welterweight King after holding undisputed gold at 140lbs.
His showdown with Shawn Porter is now awaited by many fans.
4 Oleksandr Usyk
After winning the WBSS, which included all the divisions belts, Usyk was undisputed cruiserweight king. He has since established his authority at heavyweight.
His quick footwork, steady punching rate, and heavy hands made him no match against anyone at 200lbs. His previous high-profile victory was against Tony Bellew in Manchester.
He has had some difficulties at heavyweight with Derek Chisora, the Ukrainian master of heavyweight.
He overcame all odds to defeat Anthony Joshua at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium last October to win the WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight titles.
That was enough to lift him above Tyson Fury, his Brit rival, in our P4P rankings.
5 Tyson Fury
The Gypsy King made the most memorable journey back to the top when Deontay Wilder was defeated to become WBC heavyweight champion.
He backed up that claim a fortnight later, as he won a thrilling three-fight with the Bronze Bomber.
Fury is agile and quick, even when he is at his most groin-inducing in boxing. He is often several steps ahead of his opponent before any punch is ever thrown.
Fury remains undefeated as an amateur - 31 wins, one draw, and 22 KOs.
6 Naoya Inoue
Americans know everything about Inoue.
His two victories by KO in Las Vegas are a testament to his incredible power at bantamweight.
The Japanese banger, who began his career at 108 lbs, went on to win titles at super-flyweight and junior-bantamweight champion.
After campaigning at lighter weights, the 28-year old heavy-handed man has flown unnoticed.
Everyone was stunned when Nonito Donaire beat him in the World Boxing Super Series final.
7 Teofimo Lopez
Lopez was the lightweight world champion in his 15th fight - three fights prior to Mayweather - when he defeated Richard Commey in December 2019 for the IBF belt.
In October 2020, the title match was at stake for Lomachenko's masterful southpaw Lomachenko, who was rightfully considered an outsider.
Lopez resolutely disbelieved and became an overnight sensation, knocking P4P No1 off its perch.
He was also the fifth man (behind Terence Crawford, Terence Crawford, Termain Taylor and Terence Crawford) to hold the four undisputed titles.
8 Vasiliy Lomachenko
With a record 396-1, the Amateur Game was over. The one loss to Albert Selimov was later avenged. The simple question was: could the boxing mastery transcend his skill set to 12 rounds?
A loss to Orlando Salido, WBO featherweight champion in Lomachenko’s second pro fight, was a stark reminder of the fact that the unpaid ranks can be a totally different game.
Loma was then outmuscled by an overweight veteran, Loma became the fastest three-weight world champion.
Lopez's contentious defeat of the Ukrainian in points saw him take a big blow and is now desperate to rematch the match.
He bounced back brilliantly, outclassing Masayoshi Nagani before defeating the Japanese fighter in ninth.
Next month, he will be back in action when he faces Richard Commey at Madison Square Garden.
9 Anthony Joshua
Joshua was selected for his boxing abilities, which he learned as a amateur and his bounceback ability.
The sport was shocked when Joshua was defeated by Andy Ruiz Jr, a late, unfavorite stand-in. But, they went back to the drawing board and won a rematch easily.
He is back on the comeback trail after losing his belts and being completely outclassed last month by Usyk.
Critics will argue that AJ may be the complete heavyweight. However, AJ is not pound for pound because of his transferable skills.
He has not shied away from a challenge, and his list of conquests is impressive. It will only get better if he wins his rematch against Usyk.
10 Artur Beterbiev
Russian powerhouse Beterbiev cemented himself as the man at 175lbs, after stopping Oleksandr Gozdyk from adding the WBC title and his IBF belt to his IBF belt, and then defending them against Adam Deines.
The now unified light-heavyweight puncher was resilient in the Eastern European affair, and maintained his 100% KO rate.
In what will be another clash between two heavy-hitters, Dmitry Bivol, WBA ruler, has been mentioned as a possible unification match.
A potential meeting with Kovalev, or even Canelo, would be a great way to increase Beterbiev’s already frightening profile.
Marcus Browne will be his next challenge in the ring, however.
