Terence Crawford has made no secret of the fact that he wants to jump up three divisions to challenge for Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez’ undisputed super-middleweight title.
Despite only having just secured all the belts at 147, ‘Bud’ has urged Canelo to welcome him to 168 for a mega-fight.
Speaking on Pro Box TV, Paulie Malignaggi said he believes it’s a step too far for the Omaha man.
Malignaggi then said he’d rather see Crawford in other match-ups – presumably at super-welterweight or even middle – and said any fan pushing for the fight was a ‘casual.’
Neither man has announced his next fight. Crawford, although contracted for a rematch, hinted recently that his rivalry with Errol Spence Jr was over. Canelo is heavily rumoured to be facing Jermall Charlo next after beating his brother Jermell in September of last year.
