September 13 will mark the biggest moment of Terence Crawford’s glorious career as he challenges Canelo Alvarez for the undisputed super middleweight title. <\/p>\n
It’s a fight between two extremely accomplished superstars, four weight world champions and multiple time undisputed title holders.<\/p>\n
If Crawford beats Canelo he can become the first fighter in history to become undisputed in three weight classes. Historically, a great fighter moving up has rarely beaten an equally great opponent. And to make matters worse, Crawford is coming up not one, but two weight classes to take Canelo’s throne.<\/p>\n
The build-up has been full of hype. While there’s mutual respect between the pair, there has been some heated moments as well. ‘Bud’ Crawford has now revealed a moment where Canelo irritated him.<\/p>\n

Despite Crawford’s long list of accomplishments, Canelo questioned the quality of his past opponents. ‘Bud’ told Dan Rafael that it irritated him.<\/p>\n
“It definitely irritated me, because, I can say so much about his resume and the guys he has fought, at the time he fought, and so forth. But. I am not gonna do that. I’d rather talk about him as a fighter and forget all the other people he fought before me.”<\/p>\n
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. Me and him gotta fight. I am not fighting his resume, I am not fighting the guys that he fought. I would rather keep it straight for Canelo.<\/p>\n

Crawford has beaten fighters like Errol Spence Jr, Shawn Porter, Amir Khan, Kell Brook, and more in his career. However, one might argue that he never had a generation defining fight except for the Spence clash, who ‘Bud’ dominated bell-to-bell. <\/p>\n
Canelo vs Crawford will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and the event will be broadcast on Netflix across the globe. Crawford thinks boxing moving to Netflix is a good thing. He said:<\/p>\n
I think boxing is moving away from pay-per-view and I think it’s a good thing with piracy and things like that. I think giving it to the masses that have the app will be the next best thing.<\/p>\n

Crawford pointed out that fans don’t need to pay a PPV price to watch the NBA or the NFL. “We can get back to that, I think boxing will be back where it used to be back in the day.”<\/p>\n
Turki Alalshikh and Dana White (TKO Group \/ Zuffa Boxing) are co-promoting the fight. The build-up has been full of hype and Crawford sounds determined to deliver on the biggest night of his professional career.<\/p>\n
