If it happens two years from now when Canelo is in the twilight of his career then I'll go for Crawford but if this happens in May of next year then no doubt I'll go for Canelo as Crawford is just too small for him, I mean he needs at least 2-3 fight to prove his worth on the 168lbs division. I think he is just calling Canelo as this is a money fight for him of the latter took the bait.
We might want to note that Canelo is younger than Crawford. Canelo is almost 3 years his junior. If this dream fight happens two years from now, Canelo is indeed approaching the twilight of his career. Crawford, on the other hand, is already approaching 40. Age is probably one of the reasons why Spence was running away and delaying his fight against Crawford. That's an off-topic opinion, though.
It would be an amazing moment in boxing's history if this fight takes place, especially if the two remain on a winning streak when the match happens. Crawford will, however, prove his worth in 154 first. If he proves to be effective and natural in this weight, and wins fights, then he could allow his body to continue gaining weight and reach 168. But he shouldn't be confronting Canelo right away. It would be the same process. If he proves that he can handle the weight naturally, without compromising his movements, quick responses, and so on, then he could face Canelo.
As to their physical stats, they're pretty much the same. Crawford has, of course, a longer reach though.
Canelo struggled against Mayweather, who is a good defender and quicker as well. Probably, Crawford sees the weaknesses of Canelo, as although he has power, he can be outboxed, as was evident in the fight against Bivol. The match might be even in the eyes of the fans. Although Crawford is not fighting in his comfortable weight, given his achievements, his undefeated record, and the hype generated when he beat Spence in a one-sided beatdown, all these factors will come into play.
For now, Canelo still has business to take care of. It might be a bit early to discuss, but at least we can have an open discussion about the possibility of this fight happening. I'm sure both camps are eager to make this happen, as it could be the biggest payday for both fighters. Who knows, they might even surpass the PPV revenue generated by Mayweather in his fights.
As fans, it would really satisfy us to see the best fighters in the ring, with no excuses or dodging. They will prove who is the best.
That's quite possible because two of the big names in the industry will soon face each other in a boxing fight but I just have one question though, is Canelo Alvarez interested in this fight as well or at least considering for it? I know he's quite busy as of the moment because Charlo isn't someone who is easy to defeat but we should know as well to see the likelihood if this fight even if it's still too early to discuss.
The only response of Canelo is that he can't go down in weight anymore, so obviously no more catchweights for him if ever he will fight Crawford because he knows that Crawford is at 147 lbs.
But the good thing is that Crawford is willing to go up at 168 lbs, so there is no catch weight for Canelo. One thing that Canelo says though is that if he ever beat Crawford, will he get the recognition? Or will his critics says that he just beat a 147 lbs fighter here.
So there's a lot on this fight for Canelo, his legacy and on Crawford, to be one of the greatest for jumping 3 weight class because as we have said, no one ever did that before.
In my personal opinion, I would not dare to judge a Canelo or a Crawford because they are older than him, let's remember what he did to Spence, that he raises the weight that he has to carry to fight Canelo is something that I see as an act of improvement, whenever a boxer goes up in rank, for me he is worthy of praise, also with Crawford's rhythm that he has is quite good, Crawford is in shape, after the fight he had against Spence it was seen that he did not He gave his 100%, but he reached about 60-70%, I didn't see him, he hardly even sweated, so this is something that suggests that Crawford's level has grown a lot and this is due to his great training, when a boxer is He has prepared so much, it is obvious that he will win his fight, in fact fights are won in training, that is where we realize who is the best, that is why when there is a fight, I like to know all the indicators of his preparation to see how much it was and how complex it was if they provided it, if the other boxer is pure bla bla bla like the case of Spence, well those things happen, the surprises that boxing gives.
In the case of Crwafrod and Canelo, I could say something, Canelo manages that category very well, and it is known that things with him are quite difficult because Canelo is a boxer who likes to talk a lot and be on social networks and talk more , so these things are what the boxer can monopolize people, I also know that the Mexican has a weakness with his hand, no matter how much they have operated on it, the hand does not remain 100%, that is an apparent debidlaid, that is, not He can give such hard blows because obviously it's going to hurt a lot, and even if he doesn't show it, he'll take care of himself, this is something Crawford knows, also with all the time he has for it to happen, he will prepare himself in much more detail, now If the fight is overtaken, I could say that Canelo has a good advantage, it's all a matter of how they paint it.
Terence Crawford Predicts Canelo-Charlo After Saying He Wants The Winner
And though Crawford told The Breakfast Club he envisages a ‘Canelo’ victory, he does not believe the contest will be as one sided as some are predicting.
“I got Canelo, but I think it’s going to be a good fight. I think a lot of people are sleeping on Charlo, but he’s skilful and he’s bigger than Canelo, even though Canelo is at a higher weight class.”
“I think Canelo is going to be stronger than him and more powerful than him, but at the same time, I think Charlo has got the boxing skills to make it a competitive fight. If he uses his jab, throws straight punchers and doesn’t get caught up in all the feints that Canelo is going to throw.”
“I think it will be competitive.”
Though Alvarez is favoured by many to emerge with the victory in Las Vegas, he hasn’t looked his brilliant best in his last three showings and some think he could be on the slide.

https://boxing-social.com/news/terence-crawford-on-canelo-j-charlo/Since Crawford is a guy who is quite reserved and at least speaks with a tone of respect, for him he predicts that Canelo can win, however he says that it will be a good fight, so for him Cnaelo wins, but there may be no surprises, As I said before, a boxer who fights is when he decides to do things very well and train very intensely, the more work he has in his training, the better, otherwise I don't think things can work out for him, Canelo's training He is very good, I have always said that the Mexican has his flow and that is something that makes a very good sense, however in boxing anything can happen, nothing is certain.
At this moment we can all make very big speculations, but if Charlo wins? how are we going to stay? many speechless, and others will win their good sums of money and with good reason, that's why I say if in any sport the most impossible things happen, why not in boxing?
