Mike Tyson Has No Doubt Who’s Better Between Crawford And Mayweather: “Nobody’s Like Him”

Terence Crawford has set his sights on a historic clash with Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, despite the significant weight disparity between the two champions. Determined to be just the third man to defeat Canelo, Crawford is ready to make an unprecedented leap to the super-middleweight division.

Having already conquered the lightweight, super-lightweight, and welterweight divisions, Crawford is now aiming to face Canelo, who has been the undisputed king of the super-middleweight division since 2021, holding all four major belts.

Crawford’s ambitious move has sparked conversations and comparisons within the boxing community. Legendary former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson shared his thoughts on Crawford’s intentions in an interview, suggesting that Crawford is attempting to replicate what Floyd Mayweather achieved against Canelo over a decade ago.

“Canelo’s still the face of boxing, you can’t take that away. You cannot take that away. This guy is still the guy everyone talks about, everyone wants to fight. Crawford wouldn’t want to fight Canelo if he wasn’t the face of boxing, realistically. It’s a money grab, it’s a money fight. He wants to do what Floyd Mayweather did to Canelo. That’s all it is man, they just trying to copy and paste it. He can’t do that. Ain’t nobody like Floyd. Nobody,” Tyson remarked.

Mayweather’s victory over Canelo, which came relatively early in the Mexican’s career, was a significant milestone. Mayweather won by majority decision, a victory that has only grown in prestige over time as Canelo has lost just once more, to Dmitry Bivol, in a light-heavyweight bout. Notably, Canelo has never been knocked down or stopped in his career.

Crawford’s upcoming bout on August 3 against WBA Champion Israil Madrimov at super-welterweight is seen as a crucial test. Fans and analysts alike will scrutinize his performance to gauge the feasibility of a future showdown with Canelo at 168 pounds.

As Crawford prepares for this pivotal fight, the boxing world watches with bated breath, eager to see if he can rise to the challenge and set the stage for one of the most anticipated matches in recent history.
