Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford continue to be linked to a showdown in 2025, but who would emerge victorious between the pound-for-pound pair?
Bam Rodriguez leans towards Canelo, but that’s only because he thinks size could be a huge factor.
Rodriguez is back in action this weekend, live on DAZN, when he travels to Philadelphia to defend his world title against Pedro Guevara.
The Texas fighter is one of boxing’s best fighters, and he’ll be looking to enhance his impressive record on Saturday night when he faces the Mexican veteran.
2025 could be a major year for Rodriguez as he is constantly speculated to be involved in high profile fights and a showdown with Naoya Inoue has even been mentioned.
Despite featuring in many people’s dream fight scenarios, Rodriguez has taken time away from discussing potential fights for himself to talk about another major fantasy battle.
“I think Canelo might be too big,” said Rodriguez when speaking to Cigar Talk. “Crawford has the skills where he can hang in there with Canelo. It’s a good fight.
“That’s another fight where you’ve got to see it. I’ve sparred bigger guys, but I have the skill to hang in there with him, I think Crawford is one of those fighters as well.”
