The biggest World Champion Brands Terence Crawford Overrated And Vows To Finish Him Inside 9 Rounds
Terence Crawford is gearing up for a huge fight against Canelo Alvarez, despite being on the radar of another world champion.
The 37-year-old from Omaha, Nebraska has set his sights on making more history when he challenges the unified WBC, WBA and WBO super middleweight champion in September, in what will be one of the biggest fights boxing has ever seen.
Canelo has dominated the super middleweight division for almost five years, but faces a new kind of challenge in ‘Bud’ Crawford, who has cemented himself as one of the greatest fighters of his generation, and in many people’s eyes one of the best of all time.
Another fighter that has been on the radar of Crawford in recent years is WBO super lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez, who is targeting a showdown with the 37-year-old in the near future.

Speaking to TKO Boxing, Lopez spoke of a potential fight against Crawford, claiming he intends to prove to the world that ‘Bud’ is overrated.
“The only way I can show the world that I’m the best is by facing the best. My main goal depends on Canelo and Bud, as I would love to fight Crawford as well.
He is one of the top pound-for-pound fighters of this time, and I want to show the world why he’s not in my eyes.”
In a separate interview with ESNEWS, he vowed to finish Crawford by round 9.
“I’d say by 9. It’s my favourite number and a guy like him, you gotta break him down, you gotta break him down, you can’t just take him out.”
‘The Takeover’ is set to return to the ring on when he faces current WBO interim light welterweight champion Arnold Barboza Jr in Times Square in New York.
