Joe Rogan wonders if Canelo will be too big for Crawford
Joe Rogan is somewhat concerned about the fact that Terence Crawford will increase two weight classes to have this fight take place.
After initially achieving success in the lightweight division, 'Bud' from competing on junior middleweight (154 pound) to the super middleweight limit of (168 pounds) for this legacy-definating showdown.
This is certainly a huge talk point in the run -up to the fight because of how technical Crawford is, his next opponent is also a world -class boxer who has previously participated in light heavyweight.
The UFC commentator spoke about the size element when he made the fight during a recent episode of the Joe Rogan experience where he was accompanied by comedian Brian Simpson.
After taking several podcasts with Crawford in the past, the great care of Rogan or the physical benefits that Canelo will have, will be too great an obstacle to overcome.
“I just hope he is big enough. I hope he is big enough to keep that guy away from him because Canelo strikes so hard man, “he said.
Terence Crawford knows where he gets himself
The idea of increasing two weight classes is clearly not something that concerns Terence Crawford that has been striving for this super fight with Canelo Alvarez for a while now.
Alvarez is expected to return to the ring for Cinco de Mayo during the weekend with a date before 3 May in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas that will be reported without a confirmed opponent, although William Scull is the name that many have marked .
There are no conversations at the time of writing about Crawford who gets one fight before his proposed date with Canelo in September.
If he chooses to wait, it means agreed time frame that 'Bud' has not fought for more than a year by the time he gets in the ring for what will probably be the most difficult fight of his career, but it will give him Some time to adapt to the size difference.
