Terence Crawford doesn't think Gervonta Davis vs Shakur Stevenson will be on the undercard for his fight against Canelo Alvarez. Alvarez vs Crawford is expected to take place in September if the former gets past William Scull on May 3.

It's a massive fight and could very well turn out to be the boxing event of the year, which is why fans should expect an equally impressive undercard.

However, Crawford doesn't think 'Tank' will accept anything but a main event spot, meaning that that Davis vs Stevenson likely won't be on the undercard.

Speaking to The Ring, Crawford said:

I don't know [about the undercard]. It's going to be crazy. It should be crazy. That would be dope. If Tank was not so cocky to be on a Terence Crawford undercard, that would be dope. But I don't see Tank taking a backseat to any fighter because he will think it's the Tank show. So I don't know. But it should be a good undercard.

Crawford further backed Shakur Stevenson and Keyshawn Davis as being better fighters than Gervonta Davis, saying:

I don't think those guys can match what Shakur brings to the table. Shakur and [WBO lightweight champion] Keyshawn [Davis] are the two best in the division, hands down.
