A false story: Crawford’s claim to be denied the struggle of Canelo Alvarez

Terence Crawford says it should have been in this position, achieving the struggle of Canelo Alvarez, “It’s a long time” But people didn’t want them to have this opportunity. Only through Turki Alralikh’s help did he be given the opportunity to fight Canelo (63-2-2, 39 kos) for his super indisputable half-weight championship this Saturday, September 13.

Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) does not say who “People” If that didn’t want to fight Canelo. He also did not mention why he had not moved to the Super Media title to work towards a title against Canelo “long ago” when David Benavidez and David Morrell were still in the division, causing havoc.

If Crawford moved to 168 and defeated Benavidez and Morrell, it would be understandable to him to say that “people” did not want to fight Canelo. However, for him to make this argument when he campaigned in 147, three divisions below him sounds without base.

The bitterness of Crawford

Why did Crawford choose to stay in 147 instead of jumping until 168 to win the struggle with Canelo instead of waiting for Turki to give him? Had a Feeling of unrealistic lawMaybe? The only one that Crawford retained was himself, not moving towards an average weight to put on the line like the other hard workers and to go through the mocking to find the King Canelo.

“I should have been here a long time ago, But it’s great to meet where it should have been, “said Terence Crawford Ring MagazineMaking a cryptic comment on his fight against Canelo Alvarez on Saturday.

It is not where Crawford should have been because he did not win the fight against Super Middleweight’s indisputable champion, Canelo. He did not have to fight any of the contestants in 168 to win the fight against Alvarez for his four belts.

In this world, you have to gain things and the reason Crawford did not get the Canelo struggle “a long time ago” was that it never chose to go to 168 to win it in the old manner.

For Crawford to be in a position to fight Canelo for all marble in 168, he would have had to defeat these contenders to enter this place: Christian Mbilli, Osleys Iglesias, Hamzah Sheeraz and Diego Pacheco.

Prevent the system

Instead, Turki Alralikh has given Crawford the fight with Canelo. In other words, Crawford is taking the back door at the top, circumventing the normal route of the contender that could be left.

“I’m going to get out of there and do my things and become three times the world’s indisputable champion,” said Crawford. “People didn’t want it for me (fighting Canelo). It’s not that I couldn’t happen. They didn’t want to happen, And Turki made it a reality, the season of him and Riyadh. “”

It was not that the “people” did not want Crawford to fight Canelo. It was a situation in which Crawford struggled in 147 and 154, while Canelo was two divisions above 168. Why would someone think of a struggle between Crawford and Canelo when they were two to three separate divisions?

It seems that Terence does not see things clearly. Fighters usually compete in individual weight classes, and freak fights rarely occur among 2 to 3 separate fighters. For Crawford to be bitter sound, talking about people who don’t want to “happen”, it is as if I have it preferred preferred treatment To receive a mega-lluit that did not deserve.

The real contenders

There would have been no problem if Crawford had done hard work, passed up to 168 and defeated these three best contestants to win the Canelo struggle:

1. Christian Milli: Mandatory WBC
2. Osleys Iglesias: Required IBF
3. Jose Armando Resendiz: WBA Interim
