The undisputed super middleweight king Canelo Alvarez seeks his next mega-fight, and the pound-for-pound great Terence Crawford has emerged as a potential challenger. While a rematch with Errol Spence Jr remains a possibility, the prospect of Alvarez facing Crawford has captured the imagination of the boxing world.
However, a significant hurdle stands in the way: weight. Crawford currently reigns at 147lbs, requiring a substantial jump to face the Mexican superstar at super middleweight. This raises questions: would Crawford be willing to make such a drastic weight change, risking his current titles and potentially compromising his physical edge? But Alvarez has taken a subtle dig at his rival.
