Eddie Hearn questions the desire of Canelo Alvarez at the age of 35 and predicts retirement if Terence Crawford gets victory on September 13

Promoter Eddie Hearn says that Canelo Alvarez does not seem to have the desire already at the age of 35 and he feels that he can retire if Terence Crawford surpasses it on September 13. He is choosing Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) to beat Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 kos), because he considers him to be the coolest and most physically preserved fighter of the two.

Crawford has fought only two good opponents during his long 17 years of career, while Canelo has fought at more than 20 years. There is a great difference in the level of opposition that the Mexican star has struggled compared to Terence. That is why he is the largest star. He has taken the risks that Crawford does not have. That year out of sitting inactive shows the lack of risk of Crawford’s risk.

Canelo’s physical decay

“It wasn’t just the fact that I couldn’t cut the ring (against William Scull). I only feel the calendar and age,” said Eddie Hearn a Fight Hub TV On what made him choose Terence Crawford on Canelo Alvarez for his struggle on September 13. “Canelo is incredible. Not only because of his ability and what he has achieved, but the fact that he still has the desire of these training fields and these fights.”

The way the Cuban Scull moved in the fight against Canelo on May 3, very few fighters could have arrived at him, or without being trapped by his rapid counters. Not only did it move well, but its speed, its power and its counterpoint were top quality. Alvarez stopped taking the possibilities after being trapped with some of the Scull counters soon, and made him realize that it was too powerful to have any possibility.

“I only feel that desire is fading a little, not because of his love for boxing (boxing), but only for his age and life,” said Hearn. “Crawford’s struggle will definitely be achieved.

It seemed clear that Canelo’s motivation was not there for his last three fights against Scull, Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia. He was seen as the favorite who entered these fights, and few fans gave those fighters any stroke to beat. The fights that Alvarez has performed well in the past are those that have been considered a difficult time.

Motivation questions

“Why would you continue? Fight against Crawford. Who else is there for Canelo to fight? Do you think that Benavide will return to 168?” Hearn said. “Again, I don’t think Canelo would like to lose with (David) Benavidez because he is not the fighter he was. There is a lot of pride for these boys.”

There are many other fighters for Canelo to fight after Crawford. It is nothing compared to the fans of the fighters who want to see Canelo fight. The Mexican star is fighting Crawford just because Turki Alshikh wanted to see it. If we talk about fights that boxing audience wants to see in the United States and elsewhere, these are the fighters who interest them much more than a novelty struggle against Crawford:

– David Benavidez
– Jaron Ennis
– Dmitry Bivol
– Artur Beeterbiev
– Jai ottaia
– Chris Eubank Jr.
– Conor Benn
– David Morrell
– Edgar Berlanga: *Remenca
– Hamzah Sheeraz

The great fortune of Alvarez

“He has earned a lot of money. Maybe he was only fighting in Saudi Arabia, against a negative rival type (William Scull) and all this kind of thing,” Hearn said about Canelo. “He was sitting next to the whole struggle, and he was thinking,” I think Crawford probably will hit him. “”

Canelo’s fortune is supposedly 275 million dollarsAnd it is likely to double if the remaining three fights of your contract with Turki Alralikh ends and continues to fight a little more. Canelo will probably retire with a fortune close to $ 600 million.

“I am not mistaken. It is a very hard struggle for the two boys. A great struggle. The movement of Terence Crawford and the Ring IQ, and it looks like a younger and younger fighter, although they are 36 years old (Canelo) and 38 (Crawford). It’s amazing,” said Hearn.

Crawford has aged better and is 10 years older than Canelo. This is a combination of genetics and Terence, having fought a much weaker opposition. If he had taken the hard fights he has had, he would not be the fighter he is today.

Canelo’s toughest opponents

– Dmitry Bivol
– Edgar Berlanga
– Gennadiy Golovkin x 3
– Miguel Cotto
– Callum Smith
– Jaime Munguia
– Caleb plant
– Billy Joe Saunders
– Austin Turut
– Floyd Mayweather Jr.
– Sergey Kovalev
– Liam Smith
– Jose Miguel Cotto

“We had the struggle (Cane-Sucull) very close. I do not mistake. Canelo won. After eight rounds, they made the score of Chris Mannix on the screen and it was eight Nil Canelo. He (Crawford) was like:” I have Scull winning the struggle at this stage. “In the end, he did nothing else, and Canelo did a little more, and he won the end of the fight, but he was very close,” said Hearn.

Canelo definitely won the rounds of the last half of the fight when Scull resigned essentially to trying to win, and he played safely. However, Alvarez still seemed poor, throwing a few punches and only advanced as a much older person than his 34 -year -old chronological age. Physically, Canelo resembled a fighter in the mid -1940’s. His last fight against Edgar Berlanga pulled something out of him, eating the great features of the very young and largest Brooklyn of 193 pounds, Natal de New York. A young heavy cruise fighters is not good for a person in the mid -1930’s like Canelo.

Crawford’s Ring IQ

“115-113, 116-112, I think it’s right, but Bud is watching this struggle and goes” oh “. His IQ is amazing, and he is seeing this struggle, going, “I know exactly how to beat it. Now, it is different, and the disparity of weight, of course, will be a problem. But I think it has actually become the favorite. “

Crawford knows how to overcome Canelo, but he will not except that he can enter the trenches and slide with him. If you think you will get a cheap victory over Canelo, it doesn’t happen. He has to go to war and take some heavy features that are more difficult than those of the “little GGG” Israil Madrimov who repeatedly hit him last August in Los Angeles.

“I think he (Crawford) can win. It’s just that everything is an impulse. Canelo fight against Scull. He was probably not too motivated. So he is a great competitor. I don’t think he has never wanted Crawford’s struggle hated the fight against transfers,” said Hearn.

You cannot blame Canelo’s performance against Scull due to lack of motivation, because it seemed almost so bad in her two previous fights against Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia. It is age and poor cardio. He is not the fighter he was in 2016 until 2021. He has lost much to take punishments in fights, training field and natural aging.

Fighters in the mid -1930’s, like Canelo, usually on the hill and leave sports. Only a few rare remains to fight and out successfully. Canelo has expanded its time to the top with selective matches.
