Benavidez: I Wouldn’t Be Surprised in Crawford Wins Against Canelo

David Benavidez, the interim WBC world champion in the light heavyweight division, shared his thoughts on a potential fight between Terence Crawford and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez.

David Benavidez in an interview with Ariel Helwani
Crawford is good, and he’s been knowing that he’s fighting Canelo for a long time. So with Crawford when a person has a big IQ like that, if you do enough weights and you stay working for a long time, and you have a puncher’s chance. You can definitely make the other guy uncomfortable and hurt him a couple of times. Crawford is a really good fighter, I wouldn’t be surprised if he wins.

Alvarez last fought against Edgar Berlanga in September 2024, winning the match by unanimous decision after going the full distance, successfully defending his WBA, WBC, and WBO titles in the super middleweight division. His record includes 62 wins (39 by knockout), two losses, and two draws.

Crawford's latest bout was against Israil Madrimov in August 2024. He won that fight by unanimous decision, capturing the WBA world championship and the WBO interim title in the super welterweight division. Crawford has an outstanding record of 41 victories (31 by knockout) and no losses.
