Terence Crawford has stated his desire to leave a lasting legacy ever since he defeated Errol Spence Jr. to become the first-ever two-division undisputed champion. He has so been pursuing a fight with Canelo Alvarez. But when Canelo faced Jermell Charlo last year, the fight was called off. Furthermore, Alvarez has asserted that fighting Crawford at this moment would not be appropriate. But it appears that things may finally be changing permanently.
Alvarez’s fight schedule for the year is generally known, and Salvador Rodriguez of ESPN disclosed that Alvarez may fight Crawford at a later time. According to reports, Canelo intends to fight Crawford following Jermall Charlo. Has the iconic Mexican made a change of heart? Although the subject is still open for now, Crawford appears to be in good spirits as he brags about the possible fight.
There has been some criticism from the fans as the rumors of the possible fight spread. Many supporters think that Alvarez would be able to win the fight rather easily because Crawford has little to no experience fighting in the middleweight division. Terence Crawford, on the other hand, might have a different viewpoint—judging on his most recent post, he seems enthused about the fight.
“Terence Crawford vs. Canelo Alvarez is the biggest fight in boxing right now,” Crawford asserted in a tweet. Accept it or not, these are the realities. “Bud” gave a brazen statement regarding the battle, seeming cocky. If the bout is confirmed, boxing fans around will definitely pay attention to it. For the time being, Alvarez will be concentrating on his impending battle with Charlo; it is unclear if Jermall will be able to outperform his younger twin. Here is Stephen A. Smith’s statement regarding the Charlo fight in the meantime.
A contentious debate on ESPN’s First Take was sparked by the recent controversy surrounding Canelo Alvarez’s decisions. Stephen A. Smith expressed his displeasure with the circulating rumors without holding back. The boxing world was looking forward to an exciting PBC bout between Canelo and WBC mandatory David Benavidez in June 2023. But when Canelo faced Jermell Charlo, the enthusiasm took an unexpected turn that confused fans and commentators.
Ever the verbatim, Smith voiced his dissatisfaction by saying, “I’m pretty pissed off.” It really isn’t to my taste. How many altercations will it take for you to stop Benavidez from receiving the opportunity he so clearly deserves?
Changing tack, Canelo appears to favor the easiest route despite David Benavidez’s strong abilities posing a genuine threat. Smith’s comments, which struck a chord with many boxing fans, call the non-occurrence of the much-awaited Canelo vs. Benavidez fight a “travesty” and criticize Canelo’s habit of avoiding risky fights.
