Every fight fan wants to see Canelo Alvarez take on the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world in 2024.
There are rumblings that a bout with Terence "Bud" Crawford could be in Canelo's near future, so let's take a look at the early odds in case it happens.
SportsBetting.ag made Crawford better than a 1/2 favorite, while Alvarez comes back as nearly a 2/1 underdog. Here were the opening numbers:
The undisputed super-middleweight champion is likely to defend his title against the undefeated Jermall Charlo on May 4, before a Crawford bout that will likely go down in September.
Crawford is likely to next fight Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, who some see as a better version of himself.
Fight Odds
Terence Crawford -225
Canelo Alvarez +185
Those numbers quickly took a turn as action started pouring in.
Terence Crawford +190
Canelo Alvarez -240
Crawford is 40-0 with 31 wins by KO.
Canelo is 64-2-2 with 39 wins by KO.
Assuming this bout goes off in September, this should prove to be a monster month for the sportsbooks.
