Saul ‘Canelo‘ Alvarez has seemingly had a change of heart about a possible fight against Terence Crawford.
Crawford set his sights on the super-middleweight champion after he dominated Errol Spence Jr last year to become undisputed champion at welterweight
In reaction, Canelo, when speaking with Box Azteca, completely ruled out facing the naturally smaller man,
However, in a more recent interview with Supreme Boxing, the Mexican said he is now willing to fight ‘Bud’ if the money is right.
If money is the main determining factor in making it happen then fans might just get their wish, as the man behind boxing in Saudi Arabia Turki Alalshikh has told ESPN he intends to make the clash and will be offering Canelo a ‘fair price’ very soon.
With David Benavidez deciding to stay at at light-heavyweight to face the winner of Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol rather than continue to chase a Canelo showdown, the four weight world champions options for the huge payday he’s looking for are starting to look slim without Crawford.
