Roy Jones Jr. provides bold prediction for Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford

Boxing legend and Hall of Famer Roy Jones Jr. recently provided some expert insight on this massively historic battle between Canelo Alvarez and Terence 'Bud' Crawford. Jones Jr. was named Fighter of the Decade of the 1990s and upon retirement has become one of the most revered analysts in the sport.

Despite all his extensive knowledge of the game, Jones Jr. is quite torn between the two as both Canelo and Crawford exemplify the very best styles of boxing today. Speaking to Fight Hub TV on YouTube, he said:

"Do I think Canelo can beat 'Bud'? It's a tough fight to call. I think his size may be his best going factor. But if he goes out and boxes 'Bud', he's not gonna beat 'Bud' boxing. He's not. So, if 'Bud' can take his punch, he's not gonna out-box 'Bud'. What will determine the fight will be who wants it most, and who has their fight plan... If 'Bud' can get Canelo to box him, 'Bud' will out-box him."

While Alvarez is one of the most technical fighters in the game, he can also kick things into fifth gear and bring out his exciting, Mexican-style boxing. As for Crawford, his switch-hitting style is a puzzle no one's been able to solve yet, as he remains undefeated 41-0 in his 17-year career so far. This is indeed a battle of styles and game plans.
