Crawford-Canelo Update

Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez have been talking about a potential future showdown.

“I always said, I respect Terence Crawford,” Alvarez told TMZ. “He’s a very talented fighter but he just won one big fight. If you see his record, he just beat one good fighter in Errol Spence. Other than that, I don’t think he’s beaten other great fighters like Spence.”

Crawford responded on Twitter, “Here we go with the I haven’t fought nobody but Spence talk. Lol y’all so delusional it’s crazy.”

First Canelo has to get past Jermell Charlo on September 30. “Jermell Charlo is a great fighter, he’s a talented fighter and he’s undisputed in his weight class,” Alvarez said. “It’s going to be a good fight so I’m happy to be in this kind of fight, in the big fights.”

  • Didn’t Crawford’s trainer just get arrested in Britain for bringing a loaded gun in his luggage.

  • Actually Terrence fought a few good fighters like Spence, Benavidez, Porter and a few others and destroyed them in brutal fashion. That there shows how powerful and masterful Crawford is. If they do fight, Crawford will know how to win. As long as his conditioning and stamina are better than Canelo’s, then TC gets the win…

    • Hilarious how Canyellow makes excuses to not fight fighters who he knows might have a chance against him.

      Funnier how he’s fighting a lower weight class fighter in Charlo with FAR less experience than Crawford.

  • Conelo already building up the excuse base, which his casual low IQ fans will eat up like pigs to slop.

    • It’s September and his low IQ Mexican/Mexican American fans are rabid with “pride”.

      Don’t dare criticize ANYTHING considered even a small bit a slight against anything Mexican related or you’ll have the unintellectual savage hordes dismembering, disemboweling and beheading asper their culture.

  • Maasive achievement if Bud was to go up and beat Canelo, interesting fight and Bud has whiskers unlike Amir glass jaw Khan

  • I think that Canelo is to big for Bud, but for him to discredit Bud’s resume is denial. Canelo should win but Bud’s style is al wrong for him. Canelo does good counter punching those bigger guys, no way Bud comes at him. I’ll say it now, if they fight Bud will make him look bad.

    • If bud survives , Canelo also has power and skills, let Crawford fight GGG as a tune up and see if he can handle that skill and power.

  • this just talk Bud got dropped at 140 and beat a weight depleted Spence he just riding that hype wave moving up to 168 for a huge payday is maybe too much and when Canelo KOs him al the haters will just simply say aaaa aaaa Crawford too small its a No win for Canelo let Crawford fight Spence again then Charbroil then go to 160 make his own path without Canelo but that just goes to show you all who the King of boxing still is…….

  • Well, if that is what he wants that’s fine

    Just when canelo beat Crawford don’t blame on canelo saying:

    Canelo fix his fights””
    Canelo takes easy opponents””
    Canelo uses dehydration clause to win”

    Etc etc etc

      • Don King introduced Mexican fighters to that clause. He knew the money was with the Mexican/Mexican American fan base.

  • One thing is Crawford beat great fighters of his caliber/size

    And another thing is fight against bigger opponents

    But if wants it I’m happy with that

  • Canelo the bum trashn another 2 bit laundry man tomato can bum what’s boxing come to next jose suliman will be fightn joe rogan on the undercard with howard cosell and Mike Tyson as the announcers

  • Crawford is delusional. I don’t really care how anyone feels about Canelo, but he will smash Crawford and likely KO him if this fight ever comes to fruition. He’s simply too big, strong, and powerful at 168, and he really does have more experience against quality opposition than Crawford. I like and respect them both, but only a fool would bet on Crawford to win against Canelo. I’m up for seeing it though, I wonder if they will actually put it together?

  • Now reading this note canelo says Crawford just fought Spencer

    But it’s not about whom you beat but how you beat them

    Is easy to see Crawford domination in boxing

    I just think he should not fight canelo

    Crawford should rather fight charlo the undefeated

  • I know Crawford knows nobody can beat him up and now he wants a bigger challenge

    But I think he should move slowly then see how he feels when he reach the middle or super middle weight division

    He should put a blemish in his career because if he lose he will damage his reputation

    He will be top 10 boxers ever anyway but what a better way to lose legimately instead lose with Disadvantage

    Meanwhile let’s watch charlo vs canelo

    Charlo has a good size
    And canelo is in declined

  • Will Canelo get a pass for dodging Benavidez and note taking a fight against Crawford? Those are fights the fans want to see

  • I dont know why Bud would want to destroy everything he has achieved up to this point, for a few Benjamins, if he keeps winning and winning big the Benjamins will come to him like there is no tomorrow

  • I knew it wouldn’t be long before Canelo turned on Crawford with the the “you haven’t fought anyone” speech. Those are fightin words. I love it. We already know Canelo is going to beat a smaller Charlo and Crawford is going to torch Spence against. Can’t wait for these two to fight. I got my money on Crawford. He has the style that beats Canelo. He’s illusive, disciplined, high fight I.Q, fast and knows how to box ala Mayweather and Bivol. I like Canelo but he is DOA. I wouldn’t be surprised if Crawford pulled out another trick and stopped him. It can happen. We never saw what he did to Spence and no- one could have imaged that.

  • Such a dumb comment from Canelo. Spence is the best fighter below 154 that Crawford could have beat … so yeah that’s his best win for sure. But that doesn’t mean that everyone else must be crap. Porter, Brook, Khan, Horn, Gamboa all very good fighters.

  • Canelo and his team see in Crawford a hell of difficult fight and the best option to avoid it is to build some excuses. Why there were no such excuses when he fought Amir Khan and Josesito Lopez?

  • Shawn porter , gamboa, postal, lundy , I think Beltran are not good fighters?

  • I like Crawford a lot, but I think Charlo would beat Crawford.
    Canelo would damage Crawford.
    He might damage Charlo.
    The Charlo fight is interesting to me, the Crawford fight would not be.
    Charlo has a much better chance of the upset than Crawford would have.
    Charlo is physically the bigger man, he is mobile, he can box very well from the outside and he has an excellent jab. He has power in both hands.
    He’s quicker than Crawford, with both his feet and his hands. He knows how to fight tall and maintain distance. Crawford would slug it out eventually and get KO’ed.
