Canelo Alvarez is definitely having a memorable year for himself. After defeating Dmitry Bivol in a light heavyweight title fight last May, the red-haired star will now face her arch rival Gennady Golovkin for the third time this September in an event. money per view. However, Canleo took some time recently to answer a question from ESNEWS when Elie Seckbach asked who he thought would win in a battle between WBO weight champion Bud Crawford and WBA weight champion, IBF and WBC Errol Spence.
“Crawford,” Canelo said. “I think he’s a better fighter, a more complete fighter.” However, the pound superstar will not completely eliminate Spence. “Spence is very strong, he is also a very good fighter,” Canelo added, “but I think Crawford is better.” Canelo, of course, is probably not interested in talking too much about the matter of Crawford and Spence because that match has not been signed and also because he himself is currently on a full-fledged basis.
After all, many – if not most – felt that Golovkin had won the first match between him and Canelo, even though the result was a draw. Furthermore, a large number of people – including analyst Teddy Atlas – also felt that Golovkin had won the rematch, even though the referees gave Canelo a nod for the second time. The truth is that Canelo and Golovkin were on equal footing as two superior boxers who could have the ultimate fight. Golovkin may not be as young and dynamic as he used to be, but it is highly doubtful that he will be at his best in September. As for Canelo, the last thing he needs at this point in his career is this. defeat to Golovkin after losing to Bivol.
