Bud Crawford lands in Australia, calls Tszyu to fight a “w” and the eyes chanero collide as the biggest ppv ever

Terence Crawford did not waste time after playing in Australia. In a few hours, he predicted how a struggle with Tim Tszyu would have finished (“I feel he would have dubbed him”), admitted that he did not know that Tszyu was Kostya’s son and declared his next $ 200 million clash with Canelo Alvarez could break all the albums in the book, including Maypac’s.

In a place with with Fox Sports AustraliaCrawford spoke candidate about the legacy, the Tszyus, the piracy and who believes that he is really the largest of all time, and the spoiler: he is not himself.

When asked how a struggle would have gone with Tim?

“I feel like I would have won” Said Crawford flatly. “It’s boxing for never to know. But of course I will have confidence in my ability.”

“I didn’t really know Tim was his son at first.”

Crawford confirmed that Tim Tszyu had been on his radar before the end of 2023, when Tszyu still had the heavy weight title of Wbo. But he also revealed that he had not made the family connection until later.

“I didn’t really know Tim was his son at first.” Crawford admitted. “Everything went through my head. I guess, because you never see Kostya in the corner or nothing like this.”

“But then when Tim started fighting in the United States, that’s when people started talking about their father …”

And when is Kostya Tszyu himself?

“Kostya Tszyu, was a great fighter. Great Puncher. I remember seeing his fight against Zab Judah. ​​And he struggles on his way to that … He is someone who has always been very well respected in boxing sport.”

The two of them even crossed recently:
“And Kostya and I, we found ourselves in a boxing event recently. It was in Dubai, I think, and we took a picture together.”

“If you are in mind … could overcome Mayweather-Pacquiao.”

Looking forward, Crawford confirmed that his struggle with Canelo Alvarez is scheduled Las Vegas this SeptemberAnd he says that the bets could not be higher, no more historical.

“I feel like if a fire occurs, he gets support from the fans, he could certainly make the big numbers needed to overcome the great struggle of Mayweather-Pacquiao.”
Then with a smile, he added:
“It only depends on the number of people who want to steal it with piracy.”

If he won, Crawford would become the first male fighter of four belts indisputable in three classes of weight.

“To get my dues would be a pretty thing.”

La Hoya’s Oscar Oscar legend has suggested that a victory over Canelo would raise Crawford over even Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Robinson. Crawford did not argue, but remained fundamental.

“It makes me feel good because I have been working hard in this sport for some time”, he said. “So getting my dues would be a pretty thing.”

Asked who he Do you consider the biggest of all time?

“Muhammad Ali” Crawford responded without pause.
“I know a lot of people have Sugar Ray Robinson, but obviously I haven’t seen much of him, just because of the distance he fought. I know, however, that those who saw him fight say he is the greatest of all time. But for me, he is Muhammad Ali.”

“Not only his successes in the ring, but what he was.

“I am fine … ready for everything that people throw in front of me.”

Crawford began his Australian tour in Queensland and will continue on Melbourne and Sydney. He spoiled any suggestion of Jet Lag.

“I am fine … ready for everything that people throw in front of me.”

With Opetia, Paro, Kamboses, Wilson and Tszyu, who climb large fights between now and July, Crawford’s time is adequate, and his presence fired on all the big names in the game.

Because when asked to dimension its possibilities in any division, Crawford does not turn it.

“I feel like I would have won it.”
