Terence Crawford responds to Canelo Alvarez: Is the countdown on for an epic showdown?

The rivalry between two great figures of world boxing, Terence Crowford and Súl “Cɑnelo” Álvɑrez, has further raised the expectations of the sport’s fans.

It all started when Canelo questioned Crɑwford’s legacy, stating that he had only faced one good fighter in his entire career, Ronald Spence Jr. These statements were not well received by Crɑwford, who responded bluntly through his X account, calling the Mexican’s words crazy.

Crɑwford, a two-time undisputed champion with an impressive record of 41 wins, 31 of them by knockout, is determined to prove that his career is far from questionable.

However, this is not the first time he has faced similar criticism. Some critics consider that many of his triumphs have been against less recognized opponents, something that his public defends by pointing out his technical skills as one of the best book by book.

For his part, Canelo Álvarez, 34 years old, remains the absolute reference in the 168-pound category, with a record of 62 victories, 39 by knockout, two defeats and two draws.

His latest win against Edgar Berlanga in September reaffirmed his dominance, as he enjoyed a well-deserved rest before planning his next moves.

According to reports, there are rumours of a possible fight between the two boxers, which could take place in September of next year. Canelo has not ruled out the possibility, although he has made it clear that he would only step into the ring if the financial proposal is attractive enough.

For now, Crɑwford appears willing to take a step forward, confident in his abilities to face it all, despite the weight disadvantage that many experts point out as a difficult obstacle to overcome.

If this matchup does come to fruition, it promises to be a clash of styles and strategies. While some predict that Canelo’s size and strength will be decisive, others are betting on Crɑwford’s versatility and speed.

The truth is that this possible duel has the potential to become one of the most anticipated boxing events in recent years.

For now, fans of both sides can only wait and speculate as negotiations move forward. Will this be the moment when Crɑwford and Cɑnelo go head to head in the ring? Time will tell.
