Tensions have been mounting between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crowford as both fighters continue to make bold statements about a potential showdown.

Crawford has made it clear that he believes he could beat Canelo in a fight, and has confidently stated that he has no doubts about his victory. Despite some skepticism regarding a fight between the two due to the significant weight differences, Crawford remains steadfast and expresses his willingness for the challenge.

On the other hand, Canelo has had mixed feelings about facing Crawford, especially considering the weight difference. He has questioned the logic of fighting someone smaller than fighters like Jermell Charlo, although he has acknowledged Crawford’s skills and respect for his capabilities.

Canelo’s hesitation stems from the fact that Crawford would have to move up two weight classes to face him at super middleweight, a challenge that has caught the attention of other boxing figures such as Mike Tγson and Mikeγ Garciα, who have expressed doubts about the viability of the matchup due to the weight disparity.

Despite these concerns, both fighters have shown a willingness to take on the challenge if the money and conditions are right. Crawford is confident in his ability to handle Canelo’s power and size, drawing on his experience of fighting bigger opponents throughout his career.

Meanwhile, Canelo, while respecting Crawford, believes the fight would not give him significant credit due to the weight difference.

For now, the possibility of a Canelo-Crawford fight remains in negotiation, with the clash tentatively scheduled for September or even May. The fight, which would undoubtedly be one of the biggest in boxing history, is expected to capture the attention of fans around the world.

If it happens, it promises to be an electrifying event, with two of the sport’s most accomplished and skilled fighters facing off in a true test of strength, strategy and legibility.
