00:00This is Saul Canelo Alvarez, a man who defines danger inside the ring.

00:07Yourself and Floyd Mayweather Jr. and tonight's bout with Terrence Bud Crawford if you can.

00:12No, I think Crawford is way better than Floyd Mayweather.

00:16I don't judge, and the old timers didn't either.

00:22Fighters chronologically as much as I do by the amount of fights they've had

00:26and the amount of punches they've taken.

00:28I judge them that way.

00:32Because he definitely has the skill of a top five,

00:34just that he hasn't had the opposition that some guys were able to get,

00:37and that's not his fault.

00:38He just made one of the best fighters in his weight class look like nobody.

00:41Boxing analysts are now asking a question that once seemed impossible.

00:45Could Terrence Crawford outshine a prime Floyd Mayweather?

00:49This debate heated up after Crawford's stunning unanimous decision win over Canelo Alvarez,

00:54which crowned him the undisputed super middleweight champion.

00:58What impressed people most wasn't just the victory itself, but how he achieved it.

01:03Crawford dominated from distance, switched stances with ease, held his ground under pressure,

01:08and combined strategy with ruthless efficiency inside the ring.

01:12Crawford outboxed Canelo, made Canelo miss, stood right in front of him when he was supposed to,

01:22he moved when he was supposed to, made it look easy.

01:27He beat Canelo Alvarez better than Floyd Money Mayweather, which makes him better than Floyd Money Mayweather,

01:36Even respected figures like Bob, Arum have gone on record saying that Crawford's ambidexterity and complete skill set

01:44give him the rare ability to match, and possibly surpass, Floyd Mayweather.

01:50At his absolute peak, but three, the Floyd versus Crawford debate grew even louder when Canelo Alvarez himself weighed in.

01:58Having faced both men, Canelo declared that he believes Crawford is the greater fighter.

02:03His remarks came after their 2025 showdown, where Crawford defeated him by unanimous decision

02:09to become the undisputed super middleweight champion.

02:12Canelo praised Crawford's adaptability, ring intelligence, ability to switch guards,

02:18and defensive sharpness, pointing out that these qualities place Crawford above Mayweather.

02:23Canelo wipes the floor with him. I love Crawford. I told you, when Crawford and Spence,

02:32that Crawford would beat the hell out of him. But Canelo is a different proposition.

02:38It's an interesting fight, but I think there's only one winner.

02:42Why do you feel he wipes the floor with him? Is it because of the weight difference?

02:46Because Canelo, yeah. Canelo is used to fighting at a particular level, and I don't think that Terence

02:56can hurt Canelo, but Canelo can hurt Terence.

02:59Do you think the welterweight of Boots Ennis would stand a chance against Crawford?

03:03I have no idea, but I know that Boots Ennis is a tremendous fighter and a great talent.

03:09Whether he'd stand a chance with Crawford, I don't really know, because at 147, Crawford is, I think, unbeatable.

03:18Floyd Mayweather Jr. built one of the most legendary careers in boxing.

03:23He retired with a flawless 50-0 record, showcasing unmatched defensive brilliance

03:28and an ability to dominate across multiple weight divisions, from super featherweight to light middleweight.

03:34Mayweather became famous for his crisp footwork, lightning reflexes, counterpunching skills,

03:41and his uncanny talent for avoiding damage while setting the pace.

03:45Over his career, he captured 15 major world titles across five divisions,

03:50often defeating fighters who were champions and household names in one of boxing's most competitive eras.

03:55At the end, he said he might be better than Mayweather.

03:59I can see it, because Crawford got a little bit of Mayweather in him, but he got the offense going on.

04:08It's not like all defense, blocking everything, points, points, you know.

04:14Crawford can actually hurt you.

04:16He's actually a fighter.

04:18He'll fight you, you know.

04:19He'll box you, but he'll fight you, too.

04:22That ain't, he ain't no joke.

04:24That ain't no joke.

04:54Of all the fights you've had 50, who would you say was your toughest opponent?

05:02You got guys that punch hard and hit hard, and you got guys that come out and win a few rounds.

05:07A few rounds.

05:07But nothing really was tough.

05:10I've been in the boxing gym, and guys have given me great work.

05:15They said, ask, we'll humble you.

05:17I go home and say, you gotta tighten up, champ.

05:20You gotta get together, champ.

05:22I go home and say, is this for me?

05:25I make mistakes, but I strive every day to be a perfectionist.

05:28And we all know God only made one thing perfect, and that's my boxing man.

05:33You know, I didn't have to have 70 fights, 150 fights, 300 fights.

05:40Did I not beat the most world champions?

05:42Yes, you did.

05:43Okay.

05:44And the least amount of fights?

05:47Yes, you did.

05:48Who got the highest gate?

05:49Who got the highest gate?

05:50Floyd Mayweather.

05:51Who made the most money?

05:52You did.

05:53You did.

05:53Who was the most accurate fighter of all time?

05:55Of all time.

05:56You were.

05:57So it's basically saying that?

05:58So it's basically saying that?

05:58The greatest of all time.

05:59The greatest of all time.

06:00Okay.

06:00All right.

06:01Crawford's recent clash with Canelo was one of boxing's defining moments.

06:06He moved up two weight classes to challenge for the undisputed super middleweight titles

06:10and emerged victorious after 12 grueling rounds.

06:13The judges scored it 116-112, 115-113, and 115-113, all in his favor.

06:22Crawford's game plan was straightforward yet brilliant.

06:25He dictated the ring with sharp footwork, pinpoint jabs, and perfectly timed counters,

06:31all while absorbing Canelo's power and pressure without breaking.

06:35Even after suffering a cut above his right eye from an accidental headbutt, Crawford never lost control.

06:41The win made him the first male boxer in modern history to become undisputed in three weight divisions,

06:48extended his record to 42-0, and secured his place among the sports elite.

06:54You know, he was a little frustrated in there, but that's part of the game.

06:59Last question is, I know it's right after the fight.

07:02Have you feel yet the significance of this win and what it means in your legacy and your career?

07:08Um, to be honest, when I set my sights on doing something and I know what I'm capable of,

07:19it's not like a surprise to me.

07:22It's a surprise to y'all because y'all didn't believe me, you know.

07:25But for me, I knew I could do it, and I believed that I could do it.

07:29I just needed the opportunity.

07:30Terrence, when did you know that you were going to beat him over here on your left?

07:39When he signed the contract.

07:44He seemed to focus mostly on body punches, and you were hitting him in the head a lot.

07:50Was it your reach that gave you the advantage?

07:52It was everything, you know.

07:54He wasn't hitting the body or anything.

07:56He was hitting my elbow because I was blocking it.

08:00But, you know, I think I was the better man than I am.

08:04In a recent interview, Roy Jones Jr. placed Terrence Crawford in the same conversations

08:10usually reserved for the greatest of all time.

08:13He praised Crawford's ability to switch stances, his sharp timing, his high ring IQ,

08:18and his complete control on both offense and defense.

08:22While Jones admitted Crawford still needed a few more marquee matchups to completely seal his status,

08:27he explained that Crawford's dominant victories over top-tier opponents

08:31already proved that he is fulfilling the greatness many believed he was destined for.

08:37To be honest, when I set my sights on doing something and I know what I'm capable of,

08:46it's not like a surprise to me.

08:49It's a surprise to y'all because y'all didn't believe me, you know.

08:52But for me, I knew I could do it, and I believed that I could do it.

08:56I just needed the opportunity.

09:01Terrence, when did you know that you were going to beat him over here on your left?

09:06When he signed the contract.

09:07He seemed to focus mostly on body punches, and you were hitting him in the head a lot.

09:17Was it your reach that gave you the advantage?

09:20It was everything, you know.

09:21He wasn't hitting the body or anything.

09:23He was hitting my elbow because I was blocking it.

09:27But, you know, I think I was the better man tonight.

09:31Keith Thurman was also vocal in his reaction to Crawford's win, describing it as a pure boxing masterclass.

09:38He highlighted Crawford's use of the jab, angles, movement, and distance to shut down Canelo's usual pressure and power advantage.

09:46Thurman admitted he was initially concerned about Crawford moving up in weight,

09:50but Crawford's speed, timing, and composure erased all doubt.

09:54He also observed that Canelo looked slower than expected and was unable to adjust or impose his physical strength the way he had in past fights.

10:05In the end, Thurman concluded that Crawford's performance was a showcase of strategy and skill,

10:11proving that while Canelo remains dangerous, he was thoroughly outboxed.

10:16I'd rank him probably in your top ten, maybe even your top five.

10:19Where do you rank Terrence, in your opinion?

10:21I'd put him in the top 15, maybe the top ten.

10:24Because he definitely had the skill of a top five.

10:26It's just that he hasn't had the opposition that some guys were able to get, and that's not his fault.

10:30He just made one of the best fighters in his weight class look like nobody.

10:33That's pretty damn good.

10:34Now he proved what we already thought, we just didn't see him against the best opposition near his weight class.

10:40See, this is the thing people don't understand. This is what I like about Bud.

10:42He reminds me of Roy.

10:44We ain't got to have the best opposition in our weight class.

10:46We want the best opposition near our weight class.

10:49There's been discussion that maybe Crawford and Inouye are going back and forth hustling for like pound for pound.

10:54That maybe Inouye, because of the multiple weight divisions, you're shaking your head no.

10:57Tell me why no.

10:58Because Inouye also, when he first moved up, he lost to Donair.

11:01Don't forget that.

11:03Bud ain't lost to nobody.

11:04Moving up or down, he moved up three times.

11:07He lost to nobody.

11:08Don't tell me he better than Bud, you know.

11:09What's up, people?

11:11It's the morning after.

11:12The big fight.

11:14Crawford Canelo.

11:15Shout outs to Crawford.

11:17You did it, boy.

11:18You did it.

11:20For those who still aren't quite sure what they witnessed last night, I'm going to let you know

11:25that you witnessed what is called a notorious boxing clinic.

11:32This is everything done right.

11:34First, he worked behind the jab, people.

11:40Boxing one-on-one.

11:41Set your shots up behind the jab.

11:45Canelo froze up.

11:47He was able to minimize the pressure.

11:50Step two, use the ring.

11:52Use the ring.

11:54Get to the outside.

11:56Make Canelo pivot.

11:58Make him pivot.

11:59Don't let his feet settle.

12:02Okay?

12:02Pick your spots.

12:07This was a notorious hit and don't get hit.

12:12That's boxing one-on-one, people.

12:14It's actually the definition of boxing.

12:17For those who don't know, the definition of boxing is to hit and not get hit.

12:21It's almost like a game of tag to simplify it for you, folks.

12:25All right?

12:25And yes, Crawford was tagging him, not just with the jab, moving, but he was able to do

12:36another key factor, which is get respect in the ring.

12:41He was able to hold his ground in pockets, work the body, go toe-to-toe, and catch him with

12:50that speed.

12:51Bop!

12:52With that speed, the straight left.

12:55The little uppercuts and the hooks to the body.

12:58Like I said, people, it was a clinic.

13:01So now the question is yours.

13:02In their prime, who do you think was greater, Floyd Mayweather or Terrence Crawford?
