Four weight world champion and boxing icon Roy Jones Jr has given his prediction for the Canelo vs Crawford super-fight next month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jones is widely regarded as one of the greatest boxers of all time, so his opinion on fights is universally respected.<\/p>\n

Roy Jones Jr Gives Shock Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford Prediction<\/h2>\n

When it comes to boxing, it’s fair to say that Roy Jones Jr knows a thing or two.<\/p>\n

The American fought 76 times as a professional, winning world titles in four different weight classes. Not only that, but Jones is universally recognised as one of the greatest boxers to ever grace the ring.<\/p>\n

Jones is a man that knows how to read a fight, having beaten a ‘who’s who’ of elite boxers over his 30+ year career. This includes wins over the likes of Bernard Hopkins, James Toney, Antonio Tarver and Felix Trinidad to name but a few.<\/p>\n

Although no longer competing inside the ring, ‘Superman’ is regularly seen at blockbuster boxing events as a fan, pundit and commentator. One fight Jones is set to attend is the Canelo vs Crawford super-fight next month at the Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

‘Canelo’ is the pre-fight favourite with boxing betting sites<\/a> to hand ‘Bud’ the first defeat of his professional career, but Crawford has plenty of backers too.<\/p>\n

The fight is at super-middleweight (168-pounds), meaning Crawford is jumping a further two weight categories from his current super-welterweight class. Add to this the fact that Crawford is naturally a super-lightweight\/welterweight at most too.<\/p>\n

Canelo vs Crawford has taken the boxing world by storm, with less than a month to go now until fight. Ahead of the contest, Jones Jr has weighed in with a somewhat surprising yet brutally honest pre-fight prediction.<\/p>\n

The 56-year-old feels that Terence Crawford’s next fight<\/a> against ‘Canelo’ could be his coming-of-age night to finally get the recognition he deserves for what has been a truly remarkable boxing career.<\/p>\n
