Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez says a fight with Terence Crawford “doesn’t make sense right now” after beating Jermell Charlo on Saturday night.
Alvarez dropped Charlo in the seventh round on his way to a unanimous decision victory in Las Vegas that extended his career record to 60-2-2.
The undisputed super-middleweight champion has faced calls to take on Crawford, the 40-0 undisputed welterweight champion, in his next bout, but said in his post-fight press conference on Saturday: “If the fight makes sense, go ahead.
“But right now, the fight with Terence Crawford, it doesn’t make sense. I just won, let me enjoy this.
“This is Canelo, I’m finally back. I feel great and I feel happy because I haven’t felt like this in a long time. I’m back.”
After handing Charlo just his second professional defeat, Alvarez said: “Nobody can beat this Canelo.
“We know he’s a great fighter. He knows how to move in the ring.
