Crawford has stepped up TWO weight divisions to take on the former pound-for-pound king and become a three-weight undisputed champion.
Fight fans worldwide are divided over the outcome of the Sin City showdown.
Following a less-than-stellar showing against William Scull in May, many believe Crawford’s speed and footwork will be too much for Canelo to overcome.
But just as many fans and pundits reckon Canelo’s size and power will eventually wear down ‘Bud’.
And former two-time unified heavyweight champion Fury is in the latter camp.
‘The Gypsy King recently said: “[It’s a] very tough fight, different weight categories.
“What weight would this fight happen? I don’t know.
“At 168, I’m gonna say Canelo. At 140, I’m gonna say Crawford. So I’ll go with Canelo.”

Fury’s tipping of Canelo to get the job done isn’t by any means him declaring that he wants to see the Mexican mauler have his hand raised.
The Wythenshawe warrior said: “I think it’s a fantastic fight for boxing.
“It’s two of the biggest names in boxing coming together. Two men, pride on the line and everything to fight for.
“They’re two proud champions and I wish them all the best.
“They’re going to go in there, do their best, entertain the public and provide for their families, and that’s what it’s all about.”
Fan favourite Canelo is relishing the chance to trade heavy leather with a fellow generational great.
At 168, I’m gonna say Canelo. At 140, I’m gonna say Crawford. So I’ll go with Canelo.”

In an exclusive interview with SunSport, he said: “If we’re looking at this point, at this weight, the pressure is always with me.
“If I’m moving up two weight classes or light-heavyweight or this, the pressure is always on my side,
“But I’ve been in this situation a lot of times and I’m just calm.
“I’m gonna put my best boxing IQ and my experience, my best in the training camp and put and just go there and win.”
