Boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez would apparently welcome a super fight against Terence Crawford.
During a recent episode of the Joe Rogan podcast, Crawford, the current 148-pound undisputed champ, says he would move up to 168 pounds to fight the winner of the Canelo Alvarez- Jermell Charlo fight.

Canelo vs Crawford is the biggest fight in boxing. There’s no fighter out there that’s a bigger fight then us.

Ahead of his fight against Charlo, Canelo was asked if it was disrespectful for Crawford to call him out.
“No, everybody wants to fight me, it’s fine.”
When asked about the possibility of a potential showdown with Crawford, Canelo said he would be interested if it “makes sense.”
“You know it’s crazy when you ask about that because you say Charlo is coming up other weight class and he (Crawford) is a welterweight, it don’t make sense…but if the fight makes sense, why not?”
Canelo vs Crawford would potentially be the biggest fight in boxing if it happens, but Canelo has to handle his business vs Charlo this weekend before fans can think about that fight.
