Stevenson: Alvarez only has one chance to beat Crawford

Former world champion in two weight categories Shakur Stevenson (20-0, 10 KOs) stated that his friend and undisputed world welterweight champion Terence Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) will defeat the undisputed champion in the second middle division Saul Alvarez (59-2-2, 39 KOs).

“Canelo is a tough asshole, for me he is the second best boxer in the world. Crawford is the best fighter in boxing. If Canelo is at his weight, then I tell you all that Bud will beat him. Alvarez is a really nice guy, a very good fighter, but I was in the ring with Crawford and stylistically I feel that Bud would have outboxed him.

The best opportunity Canelo has is a puncher's chance if he tries to knock out Crawford. But if we discard this, then it seems to me that Bud is a better fighter, ”Champside quotes Stevenson.
