"Fresh off his stunning loss to Terence Crawford, Canelo Alvarez admitted the pound-for-pound king might be even greater than Floyd Mayweather, a rare concession from boxing's biggest star. "We already knew Crawford is a great fighter. I did what I'm supposed to do. I try for every way, I trained really hard, and he deserves all the credit," Alvarez told reporters including Cageside Press at his post-fight press conference. "I tried my best tonight, and I just cannot figure out the style.""
"Alvarez (63-3-2), long praised for handling triumph and heartbreak with equal class, made it clear Saturday night exactly how much respect he has for the man who just beat him. Crawford put on what many called a master class and a style that caused Alvarez problems. "Everything. Everything. He have everything," he said referring to what Crawford did that gave him issues."
Canelo Alvarez lost to Terence Crawford and acknowledged Crawford's superiority, describing him as having "everything" and a troublesome style. Alvarez emphasized he trained hard, performed his role, and credited Crawford for a masterful performance that he could not decipher during the fight. Alvarez compared Crawford to Floyd Mayweather, stating he believes Crawford is far better. Alvarez's record stands at 63-3-2, and he reportedly earned between $100 million and $150 million for the bout. Alvarez plans to spend time with his newborn daughter and will consult his team in a few weeks to determine future plans.
