Terence Crawford has been urged to make a U-turn on his retirement, told there is \u201cno bigger fight\u201d in boxing.<\/p>\n

The 39-year-old called time on his illustrious career in December, having become a three-division undisputed king by dethroning Canelo Alvarez<\/a> a few months earlier.<\/p>\n

In doing so, Crawford also became a five-weight world champion and joined the likes of Floyd Mayweather, Andre Ward and Joe Calzaghe by retiring with an unbeaten record.<\/p>\n

But despite seeming satisfied with his decision to leave the sport, the American has been repeatedly linked to fights with Jaron Ennis and Ryan Garcia.<\/p>\n

At this point, neither opponent appears to have captured his interest, and it remains unlikely that \u2018Bud\u2019 would even entertain a comeback.<\/p>\n

If he does decide to return, however, then Canelo would seek retribution for the unanimous decision defeat he was handed in their first super-middleweight encounter.<\/p>\n

Speaking with Ring Magazine<\/a>, the Mexican suggested their fight was much closer than it seemed and, in a potential rematch, he would know exactly how to solve the Crawford puzzle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know what happened, and I know my mistakes. Plus Crawford is a great fighter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope [the rematch happens]. If not, I wish him the best. But I hope [the rematch happens]. We need it. There\u2019s no bigger fight than that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before anything else, Canelo must first dethrone WBC super-middleweight champion Christian Mbilli, who he is expected to face in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on October 31.<\/p>\n

That is, of course, if their fight does not get cancelled as a result of the continuing conflict in the Middle East<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Terence Crawford has been urged to make a U-turn on his retirement, told there is \u201cno bigger fight\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":934742,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-934741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/934741","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=934741"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/934741\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/934742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=934741"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=934741"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=934741"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
