Terence Crawford initially didn’t want to fight Canelo Alvarez because of their significant weight differences. In his last fight against Errol Spence Jr., Crawford weighed 146¾ lbs. In contrast, Alvarez was 20 lbs heavier in his match against John Ryder. This made Crawford think of fighting Jermell Charlo instead.
