Terence Crawford is way better than Mayweather – Canelo Alvarez admits after defeat

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez has stirred debate in the boxing world after declaring that Terence Crawford is a superior fighter to Floyd Mayweather Jnr.

The Mexican legend made the bold claim in the aftermath of his defeat to Crawford at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The highly anticipated showdown saw Canelo, a former undisputed super middleweight champion, lose by unanimous decision as Crawford produced a brilliant display.

What made the victory even more remarkable was the fact that Crawford, nearly 38 years old, had moved up three weight divisions to challenge Canelo.

He not only handled the pressure but also captured all four belts at super middleweight, cementing his place among the sport’s greats.
