Badou Jack isn’t sure about the weight difference

During the interview with Fight Hype, the Stockholm native claimed Terence Crawford, without a doubt, is the best fighter in the world right now. However, he speculated that in a fight against Canelo, the weight difference can cause some issues. “Hands down, [Terence Crawford is] the best fighter in the world. But [I am] not sure if that’s too much weight difference or not,” said Jack. 

Nevertheless, Jack thinks there is one way for Crawford to win! “If they were the same size, I would say, easy work for Crawford, kind of like what Floyd [Mayweather] did to [Canelo Alvarez],” said Jack. However, since that’s not the case if Canelo and Crawford fought, “[Canelo is] so much bigger and stronger, it’ll be a good fight,” said Jack. While Jack contemplated who would win, someone else condemned Canelo for making excuses.
