Terence Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez: David Benavidez gives his thoughts on Crawford’s chance

David Benavidez has given his thoughts on what could happen when Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez collide, which is reportedly set to take place in September of this year.
As we now know, it seems as if Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez are set to square off later this year in Las Vegas. It goes without saying that it would serve as one of the biggest fights in the recent history of professional boxing, with many wondering exactly how it’ll go given the overwhelming success these two greats have enjoyed throughout their careers.
For Terence Crawford, he knows that this is a big ask. However, in the eyes of David Benavidez, he has a pretty good chance at getting the job done in Sin City.
David Benavidez’s view on Terence Crawford vs Canelo Alvarez
“I don’t want to seem like a hater. I’m blessed and I have my position here. So, I’m in a big position as well. I’m happy for Crawford that he can get a big fight like that, too,” said David Benavidez to Ariel Helwani’s channel, talking about Terence Crawford getting picked out to fight Canelo Alvarez on September 13th in Las Vegas.
“I give him a 7 out of 10,” said Benavidez when asked how much of a chance he’s giving Crawford to defeat Canelo. “Crawford is good, and he’s been knowing that he’s fighting Canelo for a long time. Crawford likes to pick up the weight. I’m sure he’s been working on the weight for a long time.
“So with Crawford when a person has a big IQ like that, if you do enough weights and you stay working for a long time, and you have a puncher’s chance. You can definitely make the other guy uncomfortable and hurt him a couple of times. Crawford is a really good fighter. I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins,” said Benavidez.
