Terence Crawford’s social media activity has got boxing fans excited after his reaction to Canelo Alvarez’s win against Edgar Berlanga on Saturday night.
Canelo Alvarez was in fine form as he earned himself a convincing victory against Edgar Berlanga to retain his WBA, WBO, and WBC belts via majority decision.
The Mexican dominated the entirety of the fight and barring some dark arts tactics from Berlanga, which included an intentional headbutt attempt, the 34-year-old didn’t look like losing at all.
With time running out, people are keen to see what Canelo’s next test will be and he may have one offer come his way.

Regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world right now, Crawford has made no secret of his desire to face Canelo for well over a year now.
The two aren’t a million miles away in weight class after Crawford fought at super-welterweight and shortly after watching the Mexican’s win at the T-Mobile Arena, quickly posted on social media to suggest he was keen to get something agreed between the two.
He said: “Put me in the game, coach,” which sparked plenty of debate on X.
“Crawford stops Canelo,” said one fan.
A second added: “Would be a hell of a fight.”
“Become undisputed at 154lbs first. Break the tie. Save Canelo for last. Let Canelo fight The Mexican Monster,” said this user.
Another commented: “Make it happen champ! Was waiting for this…”
Canelo Alvarez claims he is the best fighter in the world
In all honesty, Canelo knows he’s had more competitive fights in his career but it was another victory that cemented his legacy as a boxing great.
The four-weight champion’s win came on Mexican independence weekend in a big celebration for the 34-year-old, who said there is no better fighter in the world than him right now.
Canelo said: “I did good. Now what they gonna say? I tried younger fighters, they always say I fought older fighters. They always talk. I’m the best fighter in the world … It could’ve been [over in the third] but Eddie slows me down and it works. I put on a great show for my people.
“The victory means a lot. I feel great, I feel grateful. It’s an honor for me to represent my country on this day. Mexican Independence. I feel proud about it. Some people say that you don’t love me but guess what? You are here to support me. Viva Mexico, Cabrones!
“I’m gonna rest, enjoy my family right now and then decide [what’s next].”
