Canelo's return to the top of the WBC rankings comes after he lost all his super middleweight belts to Crawford in September. It's a bit surprising, considering how recently Canelo lost. But the WBC and Canelo go way back. He's won titles in multiple divisions with them since he was 20 years old.
Crawford's win over Canelo was huge. He became the undisputed super middleweight champion and made history in the process. Now, with Canelo right back at the top of the rankings, there's a lot of buzz about what might happen next.
Just because Canelo's the number one contender doesn't mean he'll automatically get a rematch, though. Christian Mbilli is the interim WBC champion and should be next in line. Plus, there wasn't a rematch clause in the first fight's contract.
But boxing isn't just about rankings. Money talks, and a Canelo-Crawford rematch would be a big deal. Fans would love to see it, and it could make a ton of cash. The question is: can Canelo do anything different this time? Crawford looked so good in their first fight that it's hard to see how Canelo could change things up.
For Canelo, a rematch would be a chance to prove himself again and maybe win back his titles. Crawford could show he's still the boss and put an end to any doubts about who's better.
Right now, everyone's waiting to see what'll happen. Will they fight again? When? Where? There's a lot to figure out, but one thing's for sure – if it happens, it'll be another big moment in boxing history.
