Terence Crawford and Saul ‘Canelo‘ Alvarez are on a collision course.
Should Alvarez beat William Scull next month to become two-time undisputed super middleweight champion, his next fight will be welcoming Crawford to the division.
Speaking to YSM Sports Media back in January, IBF Welterweight World Champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis couldn’t pick a winner in the bout.
“It’s a good fight. A 50-50 fight, and I guess it’s a fight that everybody wants to see.”
He has since changed his mind and now leans towards Alvarez, telling Fight Hub TV that Crawford’s jump up to super middleweight to face the division’s best with no fight in the interim is a mistake.
“I think you gotta lean more towards Canelo, cause like I said before he’s been putting big guys out and Canelo’s not even really a 168 pounder, he probably really should be at 160 maybe, and he’s been hurting these guys.
“I think Crawford should take a warm-up fight at like 160, just to get the feeling of somebody a little bit bigger and things like that. I know when you go up a weight you gotta develop, put the muscle on. So he might not want to take a fight cause he’s trying to build right now, but I think he should just to stay sharp and that way he don’t have a long lay-off.”
As for Ennis, he returns this weekend in a welterweight unification bout against WBA Champion, Eimantas Stanionis.
