Terence Crawford unthinkably calls out Canelo Alvarez for sensational mega struggle

Newly-crowned undisputed welterweight champion Terence Crawford is prepared to maneuver up three weight lessons to tremendous middleweight for a mega struggle with Canelo Alvarez. The boxer preventing out of Omaha, Nebraska, now has all of the belts at 147 kilos since stopping Errol Spence Jr.

Crawford, 35, has beforehand seen options about making a struggle work with a catchweight of both 158 or 160 kilos immediately shut down by Alvarez. The undisputed champion at 168 kilos claims that his physique can now not drop down from that weight.

Rather than assembly someplace close to the center, Crawford is open to piling on the kilos as a substitute; the Southpaw fighter began his profession down at light-weight (135 kilos).

Opponents shifting up in weight lessons to face Alvarez is nothing new. His subsequent struggle with Jermell Charlo will see the undisputed tremendous welterweight champion step up two divisions to make it occur.

Addressing his current achievements and future endeavors on the “Joe Rogan Experience,” Crawford talked about potential bouts in opposition to each of them relying on the Sept. 30 victor. “It’s greatness. This is my era, and I’m taking it. Ain’t nobody gonna stop me,” he stated.

“Now that I’ve switched gears, I know I wanted to fight Jermell, but if he loses to Canelo — I’ve always said that’s a big step. That’s a big step, but for a person to go up three weight classes from 147 to 168 [pounds] and to win and to become undisputed … wow. What can they say?”

The conversation continued: “Three-time undisputed champion and the smaller fighter that went up three weight divisions to beat one of many baddest males — moreover himself — that’s been doing it for in all probability longer than me.”

Crawford was conclusive when asked what weight it would be: “168. If [Alvarez] wins. Or Charlo. The winner. I feel that’s the largest struggle in boxing. If [Alvarez] beats Jermell, Terence Crawford-Canelo is the largest struggle in boxing, fingers down. I wish to be three-time undisputed.”

The 40-0 fighter is equally unfazed about leaping divisions, both. “I would definitely have to gain weight. I just believe in my abilities. Canelo’s not a big guy; he’s 5-[foot]-8. He’s muscular, but as far as height, nah.

“That wouldn’t be nothing that… We’d should see. I feel it might occur. To be sincere, I feel that’s the largest struggle in boxing if he beat Charlo.
