Canelo Alvarez: Terence Crawford “a little better” than Floyd Mayweather Jr. & Fight is “Best in Boxing History”

Canelo Alvarez says Terence Crawford is “a little better” than Floyd Mayweather Jr. And he sees his fight against him as one of the ‘best fights in the history of the box’.

This is a little stretch of both the comments of Canelo (63-2-2, 39 COs). This is not the struggle that fans wanted. This is one that Turki Alalshikh was eager to make because he likes Crawford (41-0, 31 COs).

Crawford: Better than Mayweather?

“I put that fight in another place now. I think Crawford is a little better than MayweatherBut Canelo now has more experience, ”Canelo Alvarez said Fighting type When asked how Terence Crawford in 2013 with his fight against Floyd Mayweather Jr. compare.

Canelo, 34, is trying to build Crawford by praising him so that more fans will subscribe to Netflix to watch it. Of course, he is not better than Mayweather was. If he were, he would not have struggled against Israel Madrimov and would have been a PPV attraction. Crawford’s fighting style is not to everyone’s taste, as many fans prefer to see action rather than fighters hitting, moving and holding all night.

“I think it’s a totally different battle. I don’t want to compare this battle with other battles, ‘Alvarez said on September 13 about his defense against Crawford. “I think this battle is one of the best battles in the history of the box, and that’s it.”

Canelo goes a little overboard and calls his battle with Crawford as one of the ‘best fights in the history of the box’. It is not. His first two fights against Gennadiy Golovkin were much better, and his match against Mayweather was more interesting.

Crawford is not as popular with the mainstream public as GGG or Mayweather was when Alvarez fought against them. Terence’s popularity is limited to hard box fans who enjoy watching boxers. Canelo-Crawford can be seen by more fans because Turki Alalshikn negotiated to show it on Netflix, but it is not one of the ‘best fights’ in the sport.

If Canelo’s other important fights against GGG, Floyd and Miguel Cotto are shown on Netflix, they would do better numbers than his collision against Crawford.
