Alvarez: “Just look how much he’s accomplished and just look how much I accomplished. So imagine two fighters with those accomplishments, it’s huge.
“Everybody says he’s a smaller fighter, but I’ve won titles in four weight classes, so I know great fighters can succeed at higher weights.”
Crawford: “It [that he’s regarded as the underdog] definitely doesn’t matter. The odds can’t fight for him. It is what it is.
“He’s the bigger man, I expect him to box a little bit, but I also expect him to try to walk me down and be the bigger man. Both of us got a lot to lose, but a lot to gain. It’s gonna be a hell of a fight.”
