“Canelo's not a big guy, he's 5ft 8ins. He's big muscular-wise, but as far as height? Nah. I think it can happen. If he beats Jermell Charlo, Terence Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez is the biggest fight in boxing, hands down.” pic.twitter.com/1801pIi6Su

“Three-time undisputed champion and the smaller fighter that went up three weight divisions to conquer one of the baddest men besides himself —that’s been doing it for probably longer than me 168 [lbs]. If [Alvarez] wins. Or Charlo. The winner.” Terence said.

Earlier in August, a showdown between Errol Spence Jr. and Terence Crawford unfolded at Las Vegas’s T-Mobile Arena. Boxing fans witnessed Crawford’s skillful display leading to a ninth-round knockout victory over Spence.

Terence Crawford ready to move up a weight class to fight Canelo Alvarez

During the podcast, Crawford confidently asserted that the current era belongs to him and that no one can stop his progress. Nevertheless, Canelo’s upcoming bout against Jermell Charlo could be a significant impediment for the fight to materialize.

“I would definitely have to gain weight. I just believe in my abilities. Canelo’s not a big guy, he’s five-eight. He’s muscular. I think it could happen. I think that’s the biggest fight in boxing if he beat Charlo. ”

Interestingly, Terence has indicated his willingness to move up to the 168-pound weight class from the 147-pound division. Crawford aims to challenge the victor of the Charlo vs Canelo fight, probably with the ultimate goal of becoming undisputed in another weight class.
