Although the fight has not formally been announced yet, it is seemingly getting closer to being finalized. As well as this, tensions are beginning to flare between the pair.
Canelo Alvarez discredits Terence Crawford’s resume
When asked in an interview with TMZ Sports about Crawford, Alvarez showed respect to his potential opponent, before questioning his resume.
“I always say, I respect Terence Crawford,” said Alvarez. “He’s a very talented fighter.”
“He’s only won one big fight. He’s just beat one good fighter. Other than that, he hasn’t beat other good fighters, like [Errol] Spence [Jr.].”
Although not impressed with the strength of schedule of Crawford, Alvarez did give credit to his performance against Errol Spence Jr.
“He did a really good job with Spence. He almost made it look very easy.”
Crawford faced Spence Jr. in July of 2023, where he ended his undefeated record as ‘Bud’ won via ninth-round knockout.
