# Regis Prograis Predicts Canelo-Crawford Fight: “I Could Be Wrong…”

WBC super-lightweight world champion has weighed in with his prediction for a potential super fight between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Terence Crawford.

Despite the fact Crawford would have to jump from welterweight to super middleweight for a shot at the Mexican, there are some observers who believe he could do the unthinkable and emerge victorious.

Prograis, however, is not one of them.

In a recent interview with [Fight Hub TV](https://x.com/FightHubTV/status/1715126273901535395?s=20), ‘Rougarou’ admitted that he sees a fight against Alvarez being a bridge too far for the undisputed 147lbs champion, stating “they make weight classes for a reason.”

> “I don’t give him a shot against Canelo. It’s a different weight class.”
>
> “We try to match people too much. Canelo’s really good and Crawford’s really good, but look what he did to Jermell. He just shut him down win the power.”
>
> “They make weight classes for a reason, and I don’t see him beating Canelo. I could be wrong – but right now, I don’t see him beating Canelo.”

Some in the sport had been pushing a [narrative that Alvarez is a fighter on the decline](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/reaction-to-canelo-beating-john-ryder/), however this talk has cooled somewhat after his dominant display against Jermell Charlo last month, as referenced by Prograis.

Crawford also has more pressing issues at hand after [Errol Spence Jr triggered a contractual rematch clause](https://www.espn.co.uk/boxing/story/_/id/38301309/errol-spence-triggers-rematch-clause-fight-terence-crawford-again), and the pair are expected to lock horns again in the first three months of 2024.

A weight class for a second fight has not been agreed as of yet, but a bout at super welterweight may help ‘Bud’ acclimatise and get a little closer to Canelo.
