Former boxing champion Oscar De La Hoya has made a bold prediction for a potential fight between Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez.
De La Hoya believes that Crawford would beat Alvarez “any time” and that he would make the Mexican star “look like a kid.”
De La Hoya’s comments come after Crawford’s recent victory over Errol Spence Jr., which many consider to be one of the greatest fights in recent boxing history.
Crawford dominated the fight from start to finish, and he showed that he is one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.
Alvarez is also considered to be one of the best boxers in the world, but De La Hoya believes that Crawford’s style would be a major problem for him.
Crawford is a southpaw with excellent footwork and a powerful jab. He is also a very intelligent fighter who knows how to use his skills to exploit his opponents’ weaknesses.
“Terence Crawford will beat Canelo any time. I said this before. The good, talented man will always beat the small, talented fighter,” De La Hoya said.
“But Terence Crawford is not small. Terence Crawford is a big guy. He’s strong. He’s fast. He’s got a great jab. He’s got a great left hook. He’s got a great right hand. He’s got everything.” he added.
De La Hoya’s comments are sure to get the boxing world talking. A fight between Crawford and Alvarez would be one of the biggest in boxing history, and it would be a fascinating matchup of two of the best fighters in the world.
It remains to be seen if the fight will ever happen. Crawford is currently signed with Top Rank, while Alvarez is signed with Matchroom Boxing.
However, both fighters have expressed interest in the fight, and it is possible that it could be made in the future.
If the fight does happen, it is sure to be a classic. Crawford and Alvarez are both at the top of their game, and they are both known for their exciting fighting styles. It would be a fight that boxing fans would not want to miss.
