Shakur Stevenson (23-0, 11 KOs) was asked by Ring Magazine who he thinks wins the super-fight between Saul Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford on September 12.

Terence "Bud" Crawford (41-0, 31 KOs) challenges the Mexican megastar for his undisputed super-middleweight crown in Las Vegas.

Both boxers have already made history in their respective careers. Not only are they each four-weight world champions, but Canelo (63-2-2, 39 KOs) is the first-ever undisputed super-middleweight champion in a four-belt era, and Crawford is one of only three fighters in history to become a two-weight undisputed champion in a four-belt era.

Three-weight world champion Shakur Stevenson has chosen his fellow unbeaten boxer to triumph in what will be the biggest fight of the year.

The king of Newark said, "I think Bud is going to cook Canelo. I think Canelo is a hell of a fighter, but Bud has all of the tools to beat him."

Stevenson is preparing to fight a Mexican as well, on July 12 in New York. The 27-year-old southpaw defends his WBC world lightweight title to the Interim champion William Zepeda Segura (33-0, 27 KOs).
