Terence Crawford already sees himself beating Canelo in his next fight: “I should be considered one of the best in history”

There are still seven months to go until the possible fight between Terence Crawford and Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, but the American is already creating scenarios and hypothetical cases in this fight that is not yet official, but everything would indicate that it is only a matter of time before it is formally announced.

Taking advantage of his time to prepare physically, Crawford was in an interview with Cigar Talk on Youtube, explaining every detail about the crazy idea of fighting against the pride of Mexico.

“I was in the gym, Bill Haney came up to me and said ‘forget about Spence, go fight Canelo instead. That’s your fight. That should be the one you’re looking for’. So whenever I ran into him, he would say to me: ‘Is the fight with Canelo ready?’ I just laughed,” confessed Bud with the interviewer

All of that started to make noise to Crawford, that’s when he started to believe that it was a very good idea, especially because Bill Haney began to insist that Canelo was heavy, but he was not big, that he could beat him. These ideas began to convince Bud to ask for this fight to Turki Alalshikh.

A fight that would mark a legacy for his career

In the same talk, Bud confessed that while they were putting this idea of a fight with Canelo in his head, he began to believe that he could certainly fight him and that would put him on another level of greatness:

“Winning this fight will cement me as an all-time great, because there are too many fighters who did what I did, going from 135 pounds to 168,” confessed Terence

And he explained in more detail about his skills in the ring: “My arms are long, I am strong, I even dare to say that they underestimate my strength. He is not big, it is true, it is his category and he knows it very well, but we will see if it is true what he says that it will be easy,” concluded the 37-year-old boxer.

On the other hand, Canelo has a fight scheduled in Riyadh against William Scull, with every intention of taking the Cuban’s belt and having all the titles on the line in September.
