Evander Holyfield Has Showed His Interest Up On Who Wins Canelo vs Terence Crawford Fight
The Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight continues to generate interest from some of boxing’s biggest names.
Two of the sport’s best pound-for-pound fighters will meet when Terence Crawford steps up to 168lbs to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his undisputed super-middleweight crown in September, with Las Vegas expected to play host to the showdown.
The fight was officially announced in May after Canelo beat IBF champion William Scull to add that belt to his WBC, WBA and WBO collection and become the sole ruler of the super-middleweight division for the second time.
Crawford will be stepping up two weight divisions from 154lbs for the fight, having won the WBA super-welterweight title in his last contest when he defeated Israil Madrimov in August 2024, though ‘Bud’ has spent the majority of his career competing at welterweight.
It was in that division where he became undisputed, whilst he also managed to achieve that honour at super-lightweight, meaning he will be looking to become the first male fighter in history to be undisputed in three divisions should he beat Canelo later this year.

Holyfield has offered his take for how he feels the Canelo vs. Crawford fight will go, revealing to Fight Hub TV that he thinks it will be a step too far for Crawford.
“It’s gonna be hard to beat Canelo. He’s real basic but a good fighter.”
While Holyfield may have his doubts, one man who he was previously beaten by is picking Crawford, after James Toney backed ‘Bud’ to follow in his footsteps.
