Canelo has won world titles in several weight classes, from super-welterweight to light-heavyweight. He's currently the undisputed champion at super middleweight. He's beaten top fighters like Miguel Cotto, Danny Jacobs, Amir Khan, and Gennady Golovkin. Canelo has only lost twice in his career - to Floyd Mayweather and Dmitry Bivol.
Crawford has also had a great career. He's been undisputed champion in two weight classes - super-lightweight and welterweight. He recently won a title at 154lbs too. Crawford is known for his unique fighting style. He can switch between orthodox and southpaw stances and is very precise with his punches.
Both fighters are nearing the end of their careers but are still considered among the best in the sport. This makes their potential match-up even more interesting.
Kell Brook, who lost to Crawford in 2020, shared his thoughts on the possible fight. In an interview with Boxing News, Brook said:
"It's a hard fight. Canelo is a bigger man but listen look at Terence Crawford. Look what he did to Spence, look at his career, he's pound-for-pound number one or he's right up there. Two unbelievable talents. Crawford is like a surgeon."
Brook added more details about his experience fighting Crawford:
"When I boxed him we were both waiting to see who threw first in the early rounds, he's very pin-point, he's got it all. But so has Canelo. He's proven it time and time with top fighters in the world. It's a hard one. One I'd definitely be interested in seeing."
Despite praising both fighters, Brook leaned slightly towards Canelo when asked for a prediction.
There have been reports that the fight might happen in September. However, nothing has been officially announced yet. Both fighters could still have other matches before then.
This potential fight between Canelo and Crawford has got boxing fans excited. It would pit two of the sport's best against each other, promising an exciting match-up of skill and power.
