Terence Crawford has welcomed the idea of fighting the winner of Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo for the undisputed super middleweight title.
Already a two-weight undisputed champion, ‘Bud’ wants to make it three by taking a big leap from 147 lbs (welterweight) to 168 lbs (super middleweight). Despite avoiding a potential clash against Canelo Alvarez a few weeks, Terence Crawford has now changed his stance.
The first man to become undisputed in two-weight classes, Terence Crawford, recently joined Joe Rogan on his podcast and shed views on several things. Meanwhile, he talked about the upcoming Canelo vs Charlo fight.
‘Bud’ said, “168, yeah. Yeah, if he [Canelo] win yeah. If he win or [Jermell] Charlo the winner. I want to be three-time undisputed.”
Terence Crawford is unbeaten as a professional, holding a 40-0 record with 31 KOs. Meanwhile, Canelo Alvarez has 57 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws with 39 KOs in his favor.
Both Alvarez and Crawford are two of the greatest of this era and it will be intriguing to see them fight. While several people believe ’Bud’ Crawford would be a problem for Canelo, the Mexican star has a hefty number of people backing him to win the bout at 168 lbs.
Here’s how boxing fans supported Canelo Alvarez to win against Terence Crawford.
