Canelo Alvarez isn’t ready to close the book on Terence Crawford just yet. Nearly five months after Terence Crawford outboxed Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision to claim the undisputed super middleweight championship on Sept. 13 in Las Vegas, Álvarez continues to push for a rematch despite Crawford’s insistence that he’s retired for good.
