Terence Crawford looks forward to fighting more worthy opponents after destroying Errol Spence Jr. in July. Michael Benson tweeted that one of them could be Canelo Alvarez. Terence Crawford, who ran down Spence for nine rounds to secure the undisputed welterweight championship, will focus on more high-profile opponents. The 35-year-old Crawford remains in the best shape and has an irrefutable resume on his side. Crawford is now undefeated in 40 matches with 31 knockout victories.
As for Canelo, who will compete against Jermall Challo on Sept 30, he has a massive task at hand. Canelo has an incredible legacy in the sport of boxing. Many fans have included him in the list of greats to compete in the sport. With a possible victory against Charlo to defend his undisputed 168 lbs championship, he could be waiting for a mega fight at catchweight.
After the undisputed crowning, Crawford would be expecting this fight at catchweight. This a rather minor disadvantage for Canelo, who’ll be looking to drain his weight from his usual super middleweight fights. Both Canelo and Crawford would potentially change their weight classes to meet in between for the fight to happen. However, Canelo has not voiced his opinion about a bout with the undisputed welterweight champion.
Further, fans worldwide will be excited to watch this fight. In their prime, both fighters can potentially put on one of the greatest fights in boxing history.
