Immediately after defeating Errol Spence in one of 2023’s biggest fights, Terence Crawford made it clear he had no issues with facing Canelo Alvarez.
The fight would require Crawford to take a huge jump in weight but the rewards for beating the Mexican icon would be grand and it would massively enhance Crawford’s legacy.
Since defeating Spence last summer, Crawford has been linked to a number of fights, but his next move is still unknown.
Canelo outclassed Jermell Charlo in September to retain his world titles at super-middleweight and his next contest is still unconfirmed. Teddy Atlas, one of boxing’s most respected voices, has had his say on the possible clash.
“Crawford has the ability to slow things down in the ring and to see things nobody else can see and that’s what makes his timing so special,” said Atlas when speaking to Fight Hub.
“Because of that, I cannot count him out of anything.”
