Despite the fact that the match’s financial supporter, Turki Alalshikh, has earlier opposed the idea of a fight between Terence Crawford and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, rumors about the bout persist and attract attention. Although they are from separate weight classes and have different histories, both boxers are considered to be among the greatest in the world.

Famous Mexican boxer Canelo has won titles in weight classes as diverse as light-heavyweight, light-middleweight, and super-middleweight. He presently possesses three of the four major belts in this division. A naturally smaller fighter, Terence Crawford of Omaha, Nebraska, has been the undefeated champion at lightweight and welterweight. After his recent victory over Israil Madrimov, he is the new champion of the WBA 154 lbs division.

After becoming frustrated with Canelo’s response, Alalshikh decided to back out of the fight, even though he had originally planned to see it through. But now that he has heard from Canelo’s camp, he is thinking about starting talks all over again.

**Seconds Out** interviewed heavyweight icon Riddick Bowe, who discussed the possible bout in an interview. Bowe mentioned Terence “Bud” Crawford as the fighter he constantly follows.

Probably Terence, I believe. Because he’s calm and collected, I get the impression that he’s going to knock everyone out. James Earl Crawford.

Bowe also made some observations about how contemporary fighters think differently from his own time.

 

“You can’t compare. They don’t think the way they made us think if they fought me back in the day.

Crawford and Canelo are vastly different fighters, but Bowe was certain that Crawford could make the weight jump and beat the Mexican superstar if they ever faced each other.

Just consider: he wouldn’t be taking on this challenge if his loved ones doubted his abilities. Defeating her is a sure bet in my opinion. A fantastic battle is in store.

The September bout against Edgar Berlanga is Canelo’s current priority, thus he has avoided talking about potential future fights. Still, both amateurs and professionals in the boxing world are fascinated by the prospect of a bout between Canelo and Crawford.
