"I'm the best fighter in my era" - Terence Crawford responds to Canelo Alvarez’s bold comparison with Floyd Mayweather

Terence Crawford recently expressed his thoughts on the comparison Canelo Alvarez made between him and Floyd Mayweather. He acknowledged that both he and Mayweather are the greatest fighters of their respective eras.

'Bud' is coming off a unanimous decision victory over Alvarez last weekend, making history as the only male boxer to become the undisputed champion in three different weight classes. After the fight, Canelo stated that Crawford was a better opponent than Mayweather.

In an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Crawford was asked to share his thoughts on this comparison. In response, he said:

"[Canelo] was in the ring with both of us. A lot of people can say what they want, but he's actually been in the ring with both of us. One, he felt like he was at the best, and another where he felt like he was at a disadvantage with a rehydration clause when he was younger. I don't go off of that. Floyd [Mayweather] is the best fighter in his era, and I feel like I'm the best fighter in my era."
