Canelo Alvarez tells Terence Crawford he is a 'f***ing great fighter' after watching Errol Spence knockout | talkSPORT

Canelo Alvarez was clearly impressed by Terence Crawford's performance on Saturday night against Errol Spence.

'Bud' comfortably beat Spence, as he knocked him down three times on his way to a ninth round knockout win.

After the fight, Canelo tweeted: "Congrats you are a f***ing great fighter well deserved."

And he followed up by saying: "I like Spence but… Crawford too good for Spence thats why I pick him to win."

This comes after Spence had hit back at Canelo for saying that Crawford would beat him pre-fight.

Spence was asked by a reporter why he believed Canelo was wrong to pick Crawford over him and he replied: "He got it wrong because he's not god."

Before adding a dig, as he said: "And he backed himself to beat to Bivol and he got his a** whooped."

This is in reference to the fact that in 2022, Canelo was beaten for only the second time in his career by Dmitry Bivol.

And now, Spence also no longer has an unbeaten record, having won all 28 of his previous fights, but Crawford proved a step too far.

Meanwhile, 'Bud' is 40-0, with 31 KO's, and he now holds the undisputed welterweight world titles.
