Canelo Alvarez, Terence Crawford Trade Heated Insults Ahead September Las Vegas Fight

The much-anticipated Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight is heating up with increasing hostility between the two fighters, moving from initial mutual respect to heated exchanges during press conferences. Canelo has criticized Crawford's resume, claiming he has fought no elite opponents, while Crawford highlighted Alvarez's losses to Dmitry Bivol and Floyd Mayweather to question his claims of superiority. Both fighters have engaged in intense verbal confrontations, with Alvarez vowing to bring the same fate to Crawford as he did to Billy Joe Saunders, and Crawford asserting that Alvarez is the only great fighter he fears. The fight, promoted heavily with involvement from Netflix, Dana White, and the Riyadh Season, is considered by Canelo as one of the most hyped of his career. Despite skepticism about Crawford moving up two weight classes to face Canelo at super middleweight, Crawford remains confident and believes in his punching power, though some, including Mike Tyson's son, predict a Canelo victory. The rivalry has added significant drama to what is expected to be an epic showdown at Allegiant Stadium on September 13.
