The former American world champion of four divisions, Mikey García, decided to send a clear warning to his compatriot Terence Crawford about the fight that is negotiating against the Mexican Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez and who would mark his official retirement from the quadrilaterals.

In statements offered for Fight Hub, the fighter acknowledged that Crawford has all the skills and fighting quality necessary to be able This confrontation.

“Where do you plan to go, 164, 165, 166 pounds? Canelo will not go down to 160. Maybe to 166, maximum, if he accepts. I think Canelo wins that fight based only on size, power and size “Garcia said.

These words arise after the approaches that both fighters have had and that would have as a scheduled date for this fight on September 13 in Las Vegas and in the division of super medium weights; This would be a great challenge for Crawford, who would have to climb a couple of divisions to meet his goal.

“Now, in terms of skills, I think Crawford is a fighter with more skills. But the difference in size will be the decisive factor, and that is why I am not even a supporter of that fight, ”added the former world champion in his statements.

Finally, Garcia considered that both Crawford and Canelo Álvarez have the chances of facing rivals of their respective divisions that would represent enormous challenges without having to see their faces; although he understands that this is the last desire as a professional of the American.

“As a boxing fan, I prefer to see Canelo climb (division) and fight with someone like (Artur) Beterbiev or (Dmitry) Bivol again. If he wants to challenge himself, he should ascend to 175 and challenge himself against them, not against a smaller guy who rises, ”he said.

“The same goes for Crawford. You don’t need to fight with Canelo. You can fight with other fighters in the 154 pounds ”, Mikey concluded.
