Mike Tyson, one of the best boxers ever, shared his thoughts on the fight at a Hard Rock Bet VIP event in Florida. He talked with rapper Fat Joe about who he thinks will win.
Tyson said Canelo's got the edge. He explained why to Fat Joe:
"Oh, that's gonna be interesting because I would like to see Crawford do it. I can't see, listen, on paper he doesn't stand a chance. It has to be some kind of miracle, something happen, cause he can't run from Canelo. Canelo is fast, I don't know, Canelo's still out. He's not really out of his peak, he's still good. He's not washed up."
Tyson pointed out that Crawford's moving up in weight for this fight. That's a big challenge. Canelo's still at the top of his game and hasn't slowed down. He's fast and strong, which makes him tough to beat.
Crawford, known as "Bud," has had an incredible career. He's one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in recent times. But the odds are stacked against him in this fight. Tyson thinks Crawford can't just run from Canelo - he'll have to find a way to deal with Canelo's speed and power.
Even though Tyson predicts Canelo will win, he's rooting for Crawford. He said, "I don't want him to lose." Tyson hopes for a miracle that could help Crawford win or at least get a draw.
Tyson's prediction is a big deal. He knows boxing inside and out. When he says Crawford has practically no chance, it's a warning sign for Crawford and his fans.
The fight's coming up soon, and we'll see if Tyson's right or if Crawford can pull off a surprise. Either way, it's shaping up to be an exciting match between two of boxing's best.
