‘BoMac’ said, “Outbox his a**. Just outbox him and s**t.” Then he was asked about the weight difference between the two fighters. “It don’t matter. Bud’s been fighting big people all day, all his f***ing life,” McIntyre responded.
He also stated that Alvarez’s much-vaunted head movement wouldn’t cause much of a problem to the Omaha native. He said, “That’s what I’m here for. That’s what Esau [Diéguez] there for. That’s what Red [Spikes] there for, you know what I’m saying. It’s called coaches, so we going to get past that s**t.”
Then, he was also asked about how dominant he thought Crawford would be against Alvarez. McIntyre believes Canelo will suffer the same fate as Errol Spence Jr. He stated, “Oh it’d be Errol Spence and Crawford 2.” Notably, Crawford’s team seems confident!. Nonetheless, Canelo Alvarez seems to have no interest in fighting Terence Crawford.

Canelo Alvarez, the undisputed super middleweight king, after facing Jaime Munguia on May 6th, will have a plethora of options to choose from for his next opponent. Meanwhile, Crawford hasn’t stepped into the ring since his undisputed welterweight title victory over Errol Spence Jr. last July.
While a rematch with Spence was a frontrunner, the allure of a Canelo showdown has never faded. The biggest hurdle? Weight. And this is the exact concern taken up by Alvarez as well during his interview with Box Azteca, earlier this year. He said, “So now if you imagine Crawford as a welterweight. 168lbs, I have everything to lose and nothing to gain because if I win, they’ll say, ‘Oh, he was too small, and everything!”
