Crawford defeated Canelo by unanimous decision when they squared off on September 13 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_gnegcj2tl\">Crawford made history by earning a spectacular win despite moving up two weight classes. And in doing so, &#8216;Bud&#8217; became the first ever three division undisputed male boxing champion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_piuc0a6pq\">Paul has aimed for a Canelo fight for a while, which never materialized as the Mexican signed with Riyadh Season instead, with the Crawford fight being a part of that deal. <\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_b7acemszs\">As a result, &#8216;The Problem Child&#8217; is now facing Gervonta Davis in an exhibition on Netflix on November 14. In a recent media scrum following a press conference, Paul gave his take on Canelo vs Crawford.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_o0az1e6kh\">Paul credited Crawford for his spectacular display and claimed that Crawford is arguably the best in the world at the moment. <a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1jkhren\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SflTNYW85S8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Speaking to Fight Hub TV<\/a>, he said, &#8220;He&#8217;s [Canelo] still an amazing fighter. I think Terence Crawford is just that incredible. I think he&#8217;s probably one of the best fighters we&#8217;ve ever seen in the ring, period. So, credit to Terrence. He showed up at a higher weight.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_1c7yuw-o_O-tagStyle_12j16kw\">&#8220;But Terence is just that guy right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_75bnbwrl3\">When asked whether Paul thinks he can now beat Canelo, he answered, &#8220;I&#8217;ve always believed in myself in the fight against Canelo, and sparring some of the people that he&#8217;s fought against and knowing what I&#8217;m capable in the ring, and seeing what they do. I know that I can beat Canelo Alvarez and everyone&#8217;s always said it is a joke or this and that, but it&#8217;s going to happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_v5dl8zz46\">MORE: <a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1jkhren\" href=\"www.si.com\/fannation\/boxing\/heavyweight-rankings-update-sees-tyson-fury-retain-spot-while-ko-artist-drops-out\">Heavyweight Rankings Update Sees Tyson Fury Retain Spot While KO Artist Drops Out<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"base_1emrqjj-o_O-initial_fzbddc-o_O-style_1a1csmw\" alt=\"Canelo vs Crawford\" title=\"Canelo vs Crawford\"\/><\/p>\n<p>IMAGO \/ Hoganphotos<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_dr5g6oxz2\">Paul is fighting a top pound-for-pound superstar in the world in &#8216;Tank&#8217; Davis and believes a win puts him closer to a clash against Canelo in the future. In the same interview, Paul said:<\/p>\n<p class=\"text_1c7yuw-o_O-tagStyle_12j16kw\">&#8220;This is a top 10 pound-for-pound fighter that I&#8217;m facing.
