Former world champion Amir Khan advised the holder of the WBA, WBO, WBC welterweight titles Terence Crawford abandon the idea of holding a fight with an absolute in the second middle division Saul Alvarez.
“Weight categories in boxing were invented for a reason. I have a lot of respect for Crawford, but when you start making weight and move up to another division and fight guys like Alvarez, you're going to miss big shots.
In any case, in order to prepare for this, you need to spar with heavier fighters. Should Crawford take such a risk? He did something no one had ever done before—became a two-time unified champion. So why not just enjoy it?” Khan said in an interview with Fight Hub TV
