00:00Welcome back to TMZ Sports, Mike, Ed, and Lucas, fellas, it was a big time weekend for

00:11combat sports.

00:12Not only did the UFC do their thing at the Sphere, but there was a massive fight that

00:17went down in the boxing world with major implications going forward.

00:22So arguably, the biggest star in the entire sport, guys, in Canelo Alvarez, went out there

00:28against a young, powerful opponent in Edgar Berlanga, a guy who was previously undefeated.

00:35He was 22-0 with all of Canelo's belts on the line, and Canelo Alvarez, he dropped him

00:41multiple times in this fight and ended up winning this fight by unanimous decision.

00:46Now you know how it goes in boxing, it's always about what's next, and what's next could possibly

00:54be one of the biggest fights that you could ever make in this sport.

00:58And Canelo Alvarez, pound for pound great, boxing great against that guy right there,

01:04Terrence Bud Crawford.

01:05Now Bud Crawford was in the building in Vegas watching the fight ringside.

01:11A little bit after the fight, he actually called out none other than Canelo Alvarez.

01:17So then finally, when it was time for Canelo on Saturday to meet with the media, he was

01:22asked about this possible super fight with Bud.

01:27Is Canelo interested?

01:28That was the question.

01:29Crawford, was Turkey Alishik at the other event across town, put out an open challenge

01:36to you on the internet with Turkey Alishik calling you out.

01:40What's your response to Terrence Crawford's call out tonight?

01:43No comment.

01:44All right, guys, so no comment from Canelo Alvarez.

01:47I was a little bit surprised with that answer.

01:50Could necessarily seem like something he wants, but could also be a negotiating ploy.

01:56Well, we had an opportunity to speak with the guy who would be Canelo's opponent, Terrence

02:02Crawford.

02:03We asked him about the potential for this fight to actually happen.

02:08Watch this.

02:09Well, I've been wanting to fight, you know, I feel as if that's a legacy fight.

02:14I feel as if, you know, this is the biggest fight in boxing today.

02:21I feel like this fight right here is like the last of the Mohicans.

02:28You know, we both come in an era where Floyd Mayweather was number one, power for power,

02:35Showtime, HBO era, that type of era.

02:41I think this fight will be massive.

02:44It's all respect over here, you know, and if, you know, he does decide to come my way

02:51and me and him get in the ring, then it'll be an electric fire fight, you know.

03:00It won't be like any other fight that he's fought recently, and it'll be a well fought

03:09fight for both of us, I believe.

03:11Any doubt in your mind that you beat him?

03:13Of course I beat him.

03:15There ain't no doubt in my mind that I won't beat anybody that I step into the ring with.

03:20Well, I'll tell you what, guys, I like Terrence Crawford's answer a lot better than Canelo's.

03:26I was actually really surprised by what Canelo said.

03:28It was almost like they asked him about Jake Paul again, you know, because Canelo doesn't

03:32really pay that any mind.

03:33But when you have Terrence Crawford who is coming out and saying this would be a legacy

03:37fight, this would be the biggest fight, and I will beat him, it kind of makes it sound

03:42like Canelo is ducking him and he's scared.

03:45But I really hope this does happen, because we saw this with Mayweather and Pacquiao.

03:50It happened five years too late.

03:52Don't wait to make this happen.

03:54This really will be a pay-per-view that so many people will want to tune in for.

03:58Terrence Crawford being undefeated, Canelo being one of the best ever, I mean, come on,

04:03make it happen.
