Canelo Alvarez And Terence Crawford Reveal Their Toughest Opponents

Canelo, meanwhile, is 63-2-2 with 39 knockout wins, including against Gennadiy Golovkin, Caleb Plant, Jermell Charlo, Shane Mosley, Miguel Cotto, and Billy Joe Saunders. Dmitry Bivol and Floyd Mayweather are the only the two fighters to have beaten Alvarez.

Pointing out his toughest career fights, Canelo named three, saying:

Golovkin, Mayweather, Miguel Angel Cotto.

Canelo Alvarez suffered his first career defeat to Floyd Mayweather back in 2013, losing by majority decision. He beat Cotto in 2015 via unanimous decision and faced Golovkin three times in his career. The first clash in 2017 ended in a split draw. Canelo won the 2018 rematch via majority decision before bagging a unanimous win in the 2022 trilogy bout.

The Canelo vs Crawford clash will rank high on both fighters' resumes. It's arguably the biggest fight of Crawford's career and could even be considered one of the biggest fights of Canelo's. 'Bud' is taking the risk of moving up two weight classes as he looks to become the first ever male fighter to become undisputed champion in three different weight divisions.

There are a lot of questions surrounding the fight, though. Many are concerned about how Crawford will handle Canelo's power. Others think 'Bud' will take the Mexican into deep waters with his movement and boxing skills.

Either way, fireworks are expected when the opening bell rings on September 13.
