Canelo Alvarez says his fight against Terence Crawford will be bigger than Floyd Mayweather fight

The excitement is already building for what could be the most electrifying showdown in boxing history: Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford.

With the fight still six months away, the anticipation is already at a fever pitch. This upcoming clash is not only about skill and strength but also about the storylines, rivalries, and potential for greatness. And according to Canelo Alvarez, this fight will be the biggest of his career.

Canelo’s biggest challenge yet

While Canelo has faced some of the toughest names in boxing-such as Sergey Kovalev and Gennady Golovkin-he is now calling his upcoming bout with Terence Crawford the most important of his career. The 34-year-old Mexican champion has made it clear that Crawford is the most dangerous opponent he’s faced. In fact, Canelo has gone so far as to say that Crawford represents a bigger challenge than the legendary Floyd Mayweather.

Yes, you read that correctly. Despite their high-profile showdown in 2013, where Canelo and Mayweather broke records with 2.2 million pay-per-view buys and $150 million in revenue, Canelo believes the fight with Crawford will top that.

“I think it’s gonna be bigger, even the Mayweather fight,” Canelo said in a recent interview.

This bold statement has set the stage for what could be one of the biggest fights of all time.

This fight is truly a clash of two boxing titans, each with their own unique strengths. On one side, you have Canelo Alvarez-one of the most powerful and complete fighters in the world, reigning supreme in the 168-pound weight class.

On the other, Terence Crawford-a master of speed, agility, and versatility-represents a fresh challenge for the Mexican champion. The contrast in their fighting styles has everyone on edge, making the matchup one of the most anticipated in recent memory.

Before Canelo steps into the ring with Crawford, he has another fight to contend with. On May 3, 2025, Canelo will face William Scull in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in what will serve as his final hurdle before the epic showdown with Crawford. With so much on the line, Canelo is preparing for what will surely be one of the most thrilling years in boxing.
