Terence Crawford stated that he has the skill and the tools to beat Saul Canelo Alvarez at 168 pounds and take his undisputed championship from him on September 13 in Las Vegas.

At the promotional press conference in New York - which almost ended in a brawl after a heated face-to-face - Crawford appeared very confident and assured that he will make history against Canelo Álvarez at Allegiant Stadium.

“I say, why not? All the greats do things that people think are impossible. I have the confidence, the ability and all the tools to beat Canelo. So, why not?” said the American.

“I am determined to make history. I was the first two-time undisputed world champion, and I assure you that I will be the first three-time undisputed world champion,” he added.

According to some experts' predictions, Crawford will be at a disadvantage due to his weight and will not be able to defeat the Mexican, but others believe that size will not be an issue, since the American has the necessary skills to beat the 168-pound champion on his own turf.

After the confrontation with Cuban William Scull, where the Mexican fighter was criticized Due to his lackluster performance, many sports experts have changed their minds and see Bud with a real chance of winning because they think the Guadalajara native is in decline.

If the American wins, he would become a three-time undisputed champion in different weight classes and would make history in the sport, while Canelo Álvarez could end Crawford's undefeated record and send him into retirement.

Terence Crawford, 38, became a champion in four different weight classes by defeating Israil Madrimov and remains one of the best pound-for-pound fighters. The American two-time undisputed champion now has 41 wins, 31 of them by knockouts.

Meanwhile, Saul 'Canelo' Álvarez, 34, became undisputed champion for the second time at super middleweight after defeating William Scull and now has a record of 63 wins (39 by knockout),two losses and two draws in his professional career.
