Scull, while serviceable, is ironically, as the bigger man, punching above his weight.
Álvarez is among the greatest boxers of all time, while Scull is barely-known name outside of boxing's hardcore circles.

The truth of the matter is that the matchup is merely a tune-up fight for Álvarez, who is expected to face fellow all-time great and pound-for-pound best candidate Terence Crawford later this year. It is one of only two matchups the boxing fandom is interested in for Álvarez.
The other is a bout with the devastating David Benavidez, who is coming off a light heavyweight title win over David Morrell, against whom he captured the division's WBA (Regular) belt. Unfortunately, Álvarez has been less than interested in facing Benavidez, despite the latter's persistent callouts, leading to ducking accusations.
