“You Want The Biggest Money Fights”: Former World Champion Remains Brutally Honest On Potential Showdown Between Terence Crawford And Canelo Alvarez

Think of what makes a fight, a mega fight. It is when two world-class boxers, put it all on the line for a shot at glory. Now think of the two current biggest names of the sport.

A fight between the two would be a spectacle, to say the least.

This has ignited distinct opinions, including from a former world champion. So let’s wait no further and dive right in on this revelation.

Legendary boxer weighs in on Terence Crawford Vs. Canelo Alvarez

The legendary boxer is none other than, Danny Garcia. The 35-year-old has been a former champion at multiple weight classes. He boasts an impressive record of 37 victories with only three defeats. Moreover, he competed in the same weight class as Crawford. Needless to say, his opinion on the potential matchup between Crawford and Alvarez is of great relevance. In an interview with Fight Hub. TV, he weighed in on this match-up and acknowledged it is a big ask for Crawford to face Alvarez.

However, he thinks the fight should take place as it is lucrative. He stated, “Definitely is going to be a challenge. But it makes sense. Think about it, if it makes sense, it makes money. He is 35 years old, Canelo is 33. At this point in your career, you want the biggest money fights. At the end of the day, that’s what it comes down to.”

In many ways, Garcia shares the same opinion as many others who are willing for this fight to take place, including Crawford. Both boxers are a class apart in their respective divisions. Find out how Crawford made a similar assertion to have this fight booked.

In an interview, ‘Bud’ stated that the bout is a real possibility. He substantiated his claim by asserting it would be a massive spectacle and probably the biggest possible fight in the sport currently. Reflecting on the same, he stated, “I think that’s the biggest fight in boxing if he beat Charlo. Terence Crawford Vs Canelo, that’s the biggest fight in boxing, hands down.
