Canelo Alvarez expressed willingness to fight Terence Crawford if the financial terms are right, despite initially dismissing the matchup as non-competitive due to Crawford moving up two weight classes.
Alvarez's change of heart comes after defeating Jermell Charlo in a similar scenario, while Crawford, coming off a victory against Israil Madrimov, sees this as a legacy fight and remains confident despite concerns about handling Alvarez's power.
The fight is considered an alternative to a bout with David Benavidez, whose move to a higher weight class has lessened chances of a face-off with Alvarez.
