Max Kellerman discusses Terence Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez

“You would imagine Crawford because he’s the naturally smaller fighter, and I would assume that he would maintain that advantage going into this fight,” said commentator Max Kellerman to Ring Magazine when asked who has the faster hand speed between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford.

“They both have sky-high ring IQs. Crawford. There’s a reason I think Crawford is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, and Canelo once was. Crawford is biologically older [turns 38 on September 28, 2025],” said Kellerman.

“Canelo has had the longer career. He’s been fighting since he was a teenager [Alvarez turned professional on October 29, 2005, at age 15]. And there have been signs recently that maybe he’s not the same guy as he used to be,” said Kellerman.

“If you look at all the boxes, I’m going to check Crawford for most of them, if not all of them. But the reason Canelo is favored is that he does a lot of things at a very high level, and he’s a naturally bigger guy,” said Kellerman.
