Terence Crawford believes he could be in GOAT conversation with Canelo alvarez win

Terence Crawford believes that he could become one of the greatest of all time if he’s able to defeat Canelo Alvarez in their scheduled September showdown.

Right now, Terence Crawford is easily one of the best boxers on the planet. There are some who might try to dispute that but when you take one look at his incredible record, it becomes clear to see why he has that kind of reputation. Now, he’s gearing up for the biggest fight of his career to date as he prepares to lock horns with Canelo Alvarez in a blockbuster superfight later this year.

The big problem for Terence Crawford is going to be the size issue. A lot of people are of the belief that he simply isn’t big enough to compete with Canelo in a contest like this, but of course, he would disagree. He’s taken on foes bigger than him before and come out on top, and he feels as if Alvarez will be no different.

Right now, Terence Crawford is in the pound-for-pound number one conversation – but there aren’t too many calling for him to be featured in the GOAT talk. In the eyes of the man himself, a win over Canelo could change all of that.

Terence Crawford believes he could become GOAT

“Of course, why wouldn’t I?” said Terence Crawford to the Ring Champs YouTube channel when asked if he would put himself as the ‘Greatest fighter ever’ if he defeats Canelo Alvarez on September 13th. “When you talk about all these other fighters, who would have done or accomplished anything close to it.

“When you say Sugar Ray Robinson. He never went up three weight classes and fought the undisputed champion,” said Crawford, making himself out to be better than Sugar Ray. “A first ballot Hall of Famer, and one of the best Mexican fighters to come out of Mexico,” said Crawford about the 35-year-old Canelo.
