Mike Tyson Predicts 'Tricky' Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford Winner

Tyson wants Crawford to win, but finds it hard to see that happening against a master like Canelo. Speaking on The Big Podcast, 'Iron' Mike said, "It's tricky, I want Crawford to win but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen."

Tyson added, "I would like for that to happen but this guy is a hard puncher, he is a smart fighter. I am just curious, I just wanna see it. I wanna be there to see it. Because listen, there's been upsets like that before.

"Henry Armstrong, 124 lbs, he beat the 146 lbs champ [Barney Ross]. So, you know, you never know. Anything can happen when two men are in the ring, or in the Basketball court, anything can happen."

Tyson, apart from being one of the greatest boxers of all time, is an ardent student of the game. That was one of the key reasons behind the success he achieved. Hence, it's always fascinating to hear him break a fight down, especially one like Canelo vs Crawford.

Mike Tyson's son fuels Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford hype

Tyson's son, Amir Tyson, is just like any other fan for the Canelo vs Crawford fight. He summed up the event with five words, writing on his Instagram story:

So Hyped for this lol.

Super fights like this don't happen often. Both boxers are as accomplished as anyone in history and are four weight world champions. Crawford is a two weight undisputed champion and Canelo is the only undisputed super middleweight champion in history, which he has done twice.

A win next month will be a glowing addition to either fighter's legacy. Like Tyson, fans around the world will keep a keen eye on how it unfolds.
