Terence Crawford is on the prowl for his next prey. After netting the ‘Big Fish,’ the Omaha native, who turns thirty-six next month, wants to bag the next big name that will, in a way, seal his name among the boxing greats forever. His latest fight against Errol Spence Jr. fetched over $21 million in gate revenue. Hence, the next big bout presents an opportunity to snap up perhaps an unheard-of sum! After calculating the pros and cons, Crawford sounded the clarion call to Canelo Alvarez.

The message by Michael Benson will soon reach a million views. Terence Crawford says it will allow him to establish his legacy. If Canelo Alvarez accepts his deal, he can frog-leap to grab his undisputed title in the Super Middleweight division. The move will be an excellent opportunity to demonstrate skills around the world. Hence, per his strong views, if Alvarez beats Jermell Charlo on September 30, the next big fight should be with him. Fans across the spectrum soon joined, chiming in with their viewpoints.

Terence Crawford triggers the first salvo

The following user highlighted that since Terence Crawford is already hitting thirty-six, he foresees Canelo Alvarez as the best bet to pocket a bomb of money, probably his career-highest. Hence, from any angle, the bout is hugely rewarding for the Nebraskan.

However, this fan believes the situation could be different. So Crawford has become the cynosure of all eyes as he attempts to become the greatest boxer ever. However, when it comes to Alvarez, despite his acceptance, all that he will receive will be loads of criticism, panning him for fighting someone who barely matches him in size and weight. Then, if he wins the match, many will call it meaningless. And if he doesn’t accept the offer, he gets blasted for avoiding Crawford. Thus, by any means, he stands as a loser.

Like many fans, the following user thinks it will be tough for Crawford to beat a boxer like Canelo Alvarez. However, if the fight comes to fruition, then hats off to him for taking the initiative.

According to the following fan, an unbelievable buzz would hover across the boxing world if the fight turned up for good. But anyhow, it might as well be labeled ‘Who’s the Best of This Generation?’

This fan posits that if Alvarez defeats Charlo and Crawford wins the rematch with Spence Jr., a bout between the two winners is very plausible.

Finally, the following user shared the sentiments of most of the fans and followers. They need to know which top fighters rule the roost currently. Then, the subsequent lineups will enable them to assess accordingly.
