Terence Crawford is on top of the world after his victory against Errol Spence Jr for the undisputed welterweight championship. In recent tweets, Crawford has strongly put forth his intentions to fight Canelo Alvarez in the near future. On the Joe Rogan Experience, Crawford confidently claimed that he can go toe to toe against Canelo.
On the podcast, “Bud” said, “In the past interviews, I was like “Canelo’s too big man, there are weight classes for a reason. But in my mind, in my heart, I don’t think nobody too big. He’s 5’8 and I’m 5’8. He’s bigger than me, but I’m faster“. Further, Bud spoke about going up against Canelo and becoming undisputed could be a perfect finish to his boxing career.
Currently, Alvarez has his hands busy with Jermell Charlo for his super middleweight title defense on September 30. Crawford has already achieved his position as the pound-for-pound king. With many speculated matches arising like Gervonta Davis or a rematch with Spence, Crawford has his eyes set on Canelo.
This fight holds a good probable chance as both fighters are always up for new challenges. Additionally, Canelo has changed weight classes in the past to meet Dmitry Bivol for a light heavyweight matchup. But both fighters might have to meet in between to make this matchup successful. Fight fans will be religiously praying to the boxing gods to make this unparalleled fight happen. Both fighters on the top of their game could put on a show that no one has ever experienced.
Canelo Alvarez showers praise on Terence Crawford
Canelo Alvarez was recently asked if he plans to fight Terence Crawford at a catchweight. The Mexican responded with praise directed towards “Bud” and his opinions on the fight.
Alvarez said that a matchup against Crawford will hold little importance in his boxing career. A size difference can make a huge play in this matchup which can give Alvarez an advantage over “Bud”. According to Canelo, a win against a smaller-sized opponent will not give him enough credit. Alvarez was asked about his opinions on Terence Crawford vs Errol Spence Jr fight. Alvarez praised Crawford by calling him different from other fighters and also advised him to enjoy his fights.
Whilst Crawford is talking out loud about this fight, the super middleweight champion doesn’t seems interested in negotiating this matchup. In any case, a matchup like this could turn out to be one of the best boxing events in the history of the sport.
