Both Terence Crawford and Canelo Alvarez are chasing greatness and have done all the way through their lives and careers in boxing.
In boxing and in life the two are just winners through and through. They always look to win and get the next edge to compete and win some more.
Almost like Michael Jordan did in basketball, that’s how relentless these guys are.
Terence Crawford Makes Big Claim On Canelo Alvarez Fight
Speaking to the Mail Online Crawford said of the big fight on September 13th:
“I don’t know about comparing it to his (Bernard Hopkins stepping up in weight against Antonio Tarver) situation, but it will be a moment where I’m talked about for many decades to come. It will definitely place me in the history books as one of the best fighters to ever lace up the gloves.”
Hopkins stepping up against Tarver saw Hopkins shock the world at the time.
In 2006 Hopkins went from middleweight up two weight classes to become light-heavyweight champion at that time.
Dominating Antonio Tarver at the time via UD and changing the course of history in boxing.
Terence Crawford will look to do something similar with Canelo in their fight.
