Former coach turned pundit Teddy Atlas has been talking about a potential fight between two pound-for-pound stars in Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez versus Terence Crawford.
Crawford is one of the best fighters of his generation and has been undisputed champion in two separate weight divisions – light welterweight and welterweight, the latter of which he picked up last July with a career-best performance against Errol Spence Jr.
‘Canelo’ meanwhile has won belts in multiple weight divisions and is currently fighting at super middleweight where he holds all four of the belts and is the first man to do so in that division.
With both men always on the lookout for the biggest challenges, rumours abound that Crawford might make an unlikely jump up three weight classes to make the fight happen and the man himself has not ruled it out.
Speaking to Fight Hub TV, Atlas was asked about that.
He then outlined another of Crawford’s unique skills.
The last time Canelo was asked about it was in September when he said the ‘time was not right’ for the fight, but boxing moves quickly so maybe that changes in 2024.
