Not all 41 professional victories of Terence Crawford came without controversy, and when he defeated Amir Khan in 2019, the outcome was disputed.
Terence Crawford was planned to collide against Canelo Alvarez in one of the largest boxing fights in recent years when they fight for the undisputed super middleweight title.
The biggest point of conversation with regard to the fight is that it will be the inaugural event that is being promoted by the TKO boxing of Dana White, after his monumental partnership with Turki Alalshikh.
And for their enormous collision, the expectation was felt because the two bumped on stage earlier this year during a press conference before the fight.
Both hunters are generally regarded as two of the pound-for-pound best fighters on the planet, but both careers have involved a certain degree of controversy.

One of the most controversial moments of Terence Crawford met Amir Khan
After he had defeated Jose Benavidez to retain his WBO Welterweight title in 2018, Crawford received various challenges that could have come to him.
After a lot of cowing and froing, however, it was officially made that Crawford would defend his title against the British boxing legend and former world champion, Amir Khan.
The fight took place on April 20 and within just two minutes after the opening round it seemed that it would be an extremely long night for Khan who was taken down within two minutes.
Towards the end of the first round it seemed inevitable that Khan would fall back to the mat again, but luckily he was saved by the bell.
Although the former champion grew a little more in the fight in rounds two and three, he was still completely poured out by Crawford, who certainly seemed to sail on a different deficiency defense.
And then in round six, controversy struck when Crawford landed a huge layer of wool on Khan, so he withdrew to the ropes.
Although it was given enough time to recover from the low flowers, the referee waved the fight after the doctor told him that Khan's corner wanted the interruption.
Because Khan's corner called on the referee to stop the fight, the result perished as a technical knockout victory and Crawford retained his WBO title.
Crawford accused Khan of 'stop' after the fight
After the result, the controversy continued after Khan denied it stopping, claiming that he would rather have turned off than stop.
This was not going well with Crawford who made the former champion public and said at the press conference after the fight: “You didn't stop? Tell the truth. So what happened? I ask what happened. You stopped.”
