Terence Crawford has plenty of exciting opponents lined up for him. A rematch against Errol Spence Jr., a possible super-fight against Canelo Alvarez, and an opportunity to be a world champion in yet another division by potentially facing Jermell Charlo. In the past, ‘Bud,’ has been vocal about his interest to face ‘Saul,’ at a catch weight but Robert Garcia is not too keen on it.

According to him, a bout with ‘Saul,’ may not be a wise move. Moreover, he would like to see ‘Bud,’ face Jermell Charlo instead. Why does he say so?

Should Crawford face Charlo instead of Alvarez?

Charlo is a champion in only one weight class above the former undisputed welterweight champion Terence Crawford. Garcia thinks the Charlo-Crawford bout would be more fairly matched up. However, he thinks the interest in this potential fight might have abated after the Super-welterweight champion suffered a defeat against Canelo Alvarez.

While speaking to FightHubTV, he stated, “That would be the perfect fight. But Because of Charlo’s last performance, even Crawford said, I don’t even want to fight you. Just the way he fought against Canelo. Kind of does hurt a little. But he is a good sell fighter, it’s a big fight. I think that’s the fight Crawford should take and Charlo, he’s the champion so why wouldn’t he? That would be a great fight.”
