In the world of boxing, Shaquille O’Neal, a massive name in basketball, has sparked a lot of chatter. He shared his bold prediction for the upcoming fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford this September at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The fight is part of Canelo's four-fight deal with the Riyadh Season. His first fight will be against William Scull in May. Canelo has been dominating the super middleweight division. Before his matchup with Scull, he defeated Jake Paul in a showy manner to secure the deal.

        The NBA legend, Shaq, who is 52 years old, boldly declared that Crawford would knock out Canelo. It's important to note that Crawford will be fighting in two weight classes above his usual. The last time that Crawford fought at 154 pounds he wasn't at his finest form. There are many who argue that Crawford has a better record of knockouts compared to Canelo, but Canelo's most recent fights have seen him drop his opponents, even if he didn't knock them out.

        O’Neal was asked to stick to basketball after fans saw his prediction. One user asked him to stick to the sport he is best known for. O’Neal is likely a big fan of Crawford, but Crawford hasn't knocked out anyone in a while. However, Crawford's fight against Errol Spence Jr. was impressive, as he defeated Spence in just eight rounds. His last fight with Israil Madrimov was at 154 pounds, and he didn't show his best performance.

        In the world of boxing, everyone has an opinion. It looks like Shaquille O’Neal is a boxing fan, and he's entitled to his opinion. However, his prediction was met with heavy criticism from fans. One user told him to stick to basketball.
