Crawford moved up two weight divisions and put on a spectacular display against Canelo, who has never been beaten at super middleweight before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_vjclcfdug\">Crawford currently holds the undisputed super middleweight title courtesy of his win, and has become the first male fighter ever to become undisputed at three different weight classes. Crawford now has a lot of options for his potential next fight and will be considered as one of the greatest of all time even if he decides to retire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_q1p0fgk5n\">Turki Alalshikh has previously suggested that <a class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_1jkhren\" href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/fannation\/boxing\/turki-alalshikh-proposes-terence-crawford-next-superfight-following-canelo-alvarez-win\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Crawford fights David Benavidez<\/a> next.
