David Haye<\/a> thinks that one of Canelo Alvarez<\/a> or Terence Crawford<\/a> is going to get stopped when the fight in Las Vegas this weekend.<\/p>\n

This super fight pits current and two-time undisputed super-middleweight ruler Canelo against former two-weight undisputed champion Crawford<\/a> in one of the most high-class match-ups in the sport.<\/p>\n

Alvarez is now 35-years-old and a veteran of 67 fights, 63 of which he has won, while Crawford is 37 and is the slightly smaller man coming up the divisions. He has won all 41 of his fights, 31 by stoppage.<\/p>\n

The fight has garnered the attention of the entire boxing world, and now former cruiserweight and heavyweight world champion Haye has weighed in with his verdict.<\/p>\n

Speaking to ProBoxingFans<\/a>, Haye broke down why this is such a tough fight to call but could end in a KO.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf one of them gets hit by a massive shot, it won\u2019t be one shot; it will be one shot followed by three, four, five shots and at least one of them is going down. I can see that happening; they\u2019re both that good.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve both got great chins but once again, something\u2019s got to give, something\u2019s got to break on one of them, and who has less miles on the clock. They\u2019ve both shown they have the heart and the punch variety.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it was a computer game they would both be 9 and 10 across the board \u2013 defensively, experience, they\u2019re just two perfect boxers mixing it so you just don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

He admits he was leaning towards Canelo, but having seen them side by side, now finds it hard to pick a winner.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was picking Canelo to start with until I started thinking about it and seeing them next to each other. In my mind, there was three or four inches difference, but they look the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whoever comes out on top will shoot up the pound-for-pound rankings<\/a> and could well trouble Oleksandr Usyk<\/a> for the number one spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Haye thinks that one of Canelo Alvarez or Terence Crawford is going to get stopped when the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":134853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-134852","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
