Should he win, the Mexican will secure a mega-fight with pound-for-pound superstar Crawford which is expected to land in Las Vegas in September.
The boxing superstar is already going through the motions with coach Eddy Reynoso, as he looks to leave no stone unturned in his preparations.
Footage emerged of Alvarez looking sharp on the pads, showing off real hand speed and some precise and crisp shots.
But surprisingly fans believe that Crawford is the quicker fighter, and believe he could get the job done.

While a final fan concluded: "He's so precise with his shots. Going to be a problem with the size advantage for Crawford."
Crawford will be the underdog on the night, given the champion will hold the size advantages as he needs to pile on 14lbs to step up to 168lbs.
'Bud' was able to edge past Israil Madrimov to become a champion at 154lbs, and is supremely confident of going one step further and inflicting a first defeat on Alvarez.
The stakes couldn't be higher if Alvarez beats Scull to land the undisputed crown for a second time.
And despite the natural adversity Crawford will need to go through, he is the best fighter pound-for-pound and will prove so in their clash.
He told The Ring: “I've been a fan of Canelo for year. I just look at all of his fights as great.

"Without one, there wouldn't be another. Each fight is defining, to take you to the next level. Each champion is a challenge, to take you to the next level.
"I'm not going to dismiss any fighter he ever fought because all of them have placed him in a position that he is right now, and that is the face of boxing.
"I am just clearly focused on one individual right now, and that is Canelo – and only Canelo.
"Just train. Get my body right and get used to the weight, to the size, getting stronger.
“A victory will come in Terence Crawford's favour. I'm the best.”
