Canelo Alvarez Slams Terence Crawford’s Boxing Record, ‘Bud’ responds

It seems the online back-and-forth between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford isn’t going to end anytime soon. The two have been up in arms ever since ‘Bud’ hinted at moving up three weight classes to face Alvarez. 

Crawford is widely considered to be the greatest pound-for-pound boxer in the world and is undoubtedly the face of boxing today. The undisputed welterweight champion recently secured an impressive ninth-round TKO win over Errol Spence Jr.. After his fight, ‘Bud’ claimed that he wanted to move up to super middleweight and face the undisputed champion there. 

While Canelo Alvarez seemed keen on the fight, it seems the Mexican has doubts about Terence Crawford’s professional resume. The super middleweight king recently spoke to TMZ Sports and claimed that while he respects Crawford as an excellent boxer, Spence Jr. is the only formidable opponent he’s ever faced. It’s important to note that ‘Bud’ remains undefeated as a professional boxer with a perfect record of 40-0. 

On the other hand, Canelo Alvarez is known for going to war against world-class opponents like Floyd Mayweather, Gennady Golovkin, and Dmitry Bivol. With a record of 59-2, Alvarez is now booked against undisputedsuper middleweight champion Jermell Charlo on September 30. Ahead of his fight, Canelo Alvarez claimed he’s excited about facing Charlo and always enjoys the ‘big-fight’ atmosphere. 

While a Terence Crawford vs. Canelo Alvarez bout seems a distant reality, the undisputed welterweight king recently fired back at the Mexican for dismissing his resume. Crawford took to Twitter to call Alvarez “delusional” and wrote:

“Here we go with the I haven’t fought nobody but Spence talk. Lol, ya’ll so delusional it’s crazy.”

While Crawford called out the winner of Canelo vs. Charlo for his next fight, there is no official announcement yet. Only time will tell if fans get to witness a blockbuster fight between two undisputed champions.
