Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford is less than two months away.
The two pound-for-pound superstars will meet at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Saturday 13 September, broadcast live worldwide on Netflix.
It sees Crawford try and upset the odds when he makes an ambitious leap up two divisions to 168lbs to challenge Alvarez for his undisputed super-middleweight titles.
‘Bud’ has already become undisputed at super-lightweight and welterweight in his career, and will now attempt to become the first male fighter in history to be undisputed in three divisions.
It will be a difficult task against Canelo, who has fought as high as light heavyweight, and beaten fighters such as Gennady Golovkin, Sergey Kovalev, Miguel Cotto and Shane Mosley.
The win over Mosley came by unanimous decision back in May 2012, and having gone up against the Mexican superstar, Mosley has now given his prediction for the upcoming battle with Crawford.
Speaking to Ring Magazine, Mosley claimed that he sees it as an ‘easy victory’ for his former foe Alvarez and believes Crawford’s team are making a mistake believing he is more talented than Canelo.
“I think it’ll be a great fight. I think both guys are great fighters, but I think Canelo is just too big. They mistake him as just being a guy at 168 and Crawford being the more talented, that’s not the case, they’re both talented, but Canelo has him by two weight divisions.
“I think Canelo beats him pretty easily, but if Crawford can pull it off then great, but my mind is telling me that Canelo is going to probably beat him.”
If Canelo is victorious against Crawford, he has announced he plans to move away from super-middleweight for his next bout in order to target a fight with one man in particular.
