Could Terence Crawford ever fight Gervonta Davis or Canelo?

Could Terence Crawford ever fight Gervonta Davis or Canelo?DAZN
The newly-crowned undisputed welterweight champion of the world gives his thoughts.

After dispatching Errol Spence Jr. as dominantly as he did, Terence Crawford seemingly needs another big-name fighter to share the bill with during his next time out.

And although Gervonta "Tank" Davis and Canelo Alvarez are two of the biggest names in boxing, Crawford just doesn't think either fight would make sense weight-wise.

"Nah, I wouldn't say that it'd happen," Crawford told Hot 97, first dismissing the thoughts of fighting "Tank."

Davis is the current WBA "Regular" lightweight world champion, meaning he'd need to move up from 135 pounds to 147 pounds to make this happen. He was a former super lightweight champ at 140 pounds as well, meaning Davis could foreseeably make the 147-pound welterweight, but Crawford doesn't believe it would happen and ruled out the possibility of ever going down to meet Davis at a lower weight.

Scratching out that prospect had Crawford thinking of another big name — Canelo.

"I don't see anyone else on that level of Terence Crawford vs. Errol Spence besides Canelo and he fights at 168-plus, so I don't see him and me fighting," Crawford continued.

"I would say 154 realistically," he added, setting his max weight.

"Them boys get big up there. I'm not the type of person to toot my own horn too loud to be able to say 'oh, I could beat the world.' I understand that there's weight classes for a reason and I respect the weight classes.

"I think 154 would be my max given the age — I'm about to be 36-years-old in September — so I have to take that in consideration as well."

At 154 pounds, Jermell Charlo reigns as the undisputed junior middleweight champion, but he's moving up to clash with Canelo on September 30.

After that fight, perhaps Crawford can face Charlo for the opportunity to become boxing's first triple undisputed championship winner.
