Claressa Shields Gives One-Liner Response to Terence Crawford’s Allegations Against Canelo Alvarez

Following his victory over Errol Spence Jr., Terence Crawford expressed he wanted to face Canelo Alvarez next in boxing. Given the fact that Crawford is a welterweight while Alvarez fights in the super middleweight division, the undisputed welterweight champion thought they could potentially lock horns at a catchweight. According to his statements, ‘Bud’ could go up to 158 or 160lbs to face Alvarez. In this context, the 36-year-old even confidently declared that he would defeat the Mexican boxer if they fought at 158.

Recently, in an impressive performance, Canelo Alvarez defended his undisputed super middleweight title against Jermell Charlo. In the wake of his victory, in a bold statement, Alvarez announced that nobody could beat him in the sport. In addition, on being asked if a fight with Crawford made sense, the 33-year-old answered in negative. Following Canelo’s statements, Crawford recently unearthed an old video of the Mexican showing interest in Errol Spence Jr. at a catchweight. In this context, as ‘Bud’ ridiculed Canelo, female undisputed middleweight champion Claressa Shields joined Crawford.

Ahead of his bout with Charlo, Canelo Alvarez announced that he did not look forward to going “down anymore“. Likewise, following his victory against ‘Iron Man,’ the Mexican phenom reiterated that a fight with Crawford did not make sense. At this, Crawford, unearthing an old interview of Canelo, wrote, “Lol what’s y’all thoughts on @Canelo saying he can make a fight with Spence at 160 but for me he say I can’t make the weight. Wouldn’t make a difference just a thought.” In no time, the tweet came to Claress Shields’ notice and she answered why Canelo does not want to face ‘Bud’.

According to Shields, who believes she can knock out Canelo, “He [Alvarez] don’t want smoke!” Although Shields and Crawford have taunted Alvarez, the undisputed super middleweight champion has maintained silence. While Crawford continues pursuing Alvarez at 160, it is worth noticing Alvarez’s old thoughts on facing Spence Jr. at a catchweight.

Alvarez was ready to face Errol Spence Jr. at 160

Three years ago, on being asked if he had an interest in Spence Jr. at a catchweight, Alvarez answered in the affirmative. In his opinion, a fight with ‘The Truth’ was both interesting and big. “Well, obviously, it’s a very interesting fight. Obviously, Errol Spence is a great fighter. And if he wants to go up in weight, then that would be a big fight,” said Canelo. Besides calling Spence Jr. a great boxer, Alvarez declared he could come down to 160 lbs for the match.
