Four-division world champion, WBA/WBC/WBO super middleweight defending champion, Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez (61 wins, 2 losses, 2 draws, 39 KOs) recently told the media that the match against Crawford (41 wins, 31 KOs) will be very easy! We are not in the same weight class. I didn't want to fight him before because he always likes to run during the game. In his last match against Madrimov (10 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw, 7 KOs), he ran less! As long as the price is right, I am willing to fight Crawford immediately! Also, there is a reason for boxing to divide weight classes!
It must be said that Canelo is becoming more and more like a businessman! The reason why Canelo is now interested in fighting Crawford! I think there are three main reasons!
First, he watched the Crawford vs. Madrimov match and felt that Crawford's condition after upgrading was average, which made him more confident of winning Crawford!
Second, Canelo currently cannot find suitable opponents, so fighting undefeated champion Crawford is also a good choice!
Third: He will meet with the rich Arash next January. Before the meeting, he released some friendly signals to gain the upper hand in the negotiation!
Canelo's statement is undoubtedly good news for Crawford! However, my idea remains unchanged. Before fighting Canelo, it would be a good arrangement for Crawford to win a middleweight championship belt! On the one hand, it can help him adapt to the changes in his body after gaining weight, on the other hand, it can give him another chance to train, and it can also add another championship in a different weight class, which is beneficial in many ways!
Whether the match can take place depends on the outcome of Canelo's meeting with Arash in January! I hope the match can take place, and I always think Crawford will win by points!
