Terence Crawford's got his sights set on a big jump up the scales, and Devin Haney's not so sure it's a good idea. Crawford wants to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his super-middleweight titles in September, but there's a catch - he'll need to pack on some serious pounds.
Haney, a two-weight world champ himself, shared his thoughts on the potential matchup. He said, "Weight classes for a reason. You know he's daring to be great [though], gotta respect him."
Crawford's already made history as an undisputed champ at both super-lightweight and welterweight. Now, he's looking to add Canelo's 168-pound titles to his collection. If he pulls it off, he'll become a five-weight world champion and possibly a three-weight undisputed champ. That's no small feat.
Meanwhile, Canelo's got his own plans. He'll defend his IBF super-middleweight belt against William Scull on May 3 in Riyadh. The Mexican star wants to become a two-time undisputed champion at 168 pounds.
The Crawford-Canelo showdown hasn't been officially announced yet, but it's got fight fans buzzing. If it happens, we'll see these two titans clash in Las Vegas, with Crawford aiming to make history at 37 years old.
It's a risky move for Crawford, no doubt. But as Haney pointed out, you've got to respect a fighter who dares to be great. Will Crawford's skills translate to the higher weight class? Or will Canelo's size and power prove too much? We'll have to wait and see if this dream match becomes a reality.
