Crawford vs. CANELO: A generational struggle or junk food?

Terence Crawford shouts its crash against Canelo Alvarez in “generational struggle ” He thinks he will speak for years when they meet on September 13 in Las Vegas. Fans do not see it that way.

Fans disagree with: struggle to “eating spam”

This struggle looks like spam and will forget immediately. Alvarez and Crawford are old. The coincidences that see this struggle are similar to those of sugar Ray Leonard who move by middle weight to fight Marvin Hagler do not know what they are talking about. Crawford is not as talented as Sugar Ray, and Canelo is not at the Hagler level, which he fought against Leonard.

They consider it strange, with Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) that raises a couple of divisions and were given an immediate title against Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 kos). It is not the struggle that the boxing audience asked Canelo. They did not press to the Mexican star to fight another smaller fighter, especially a 40 -year -old old man.

Some fans see it as a Canelo way to avoid making the difficult fights they want to see -David Benavidez, Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beeterbiev. The £ 168 division has been emptied with Benavidez and David Morrell until 175. What is among the first four places, Canelo has not shown any interest in fighting. I would prefer to face Crawford.

“I wanted to go from 147 to 168 just because I wanted to challenge -me, and this is joy,” said Terence Crawford to Ring Magazine As to why he decides to go to Super Middleweight to get a direct title against the indisputable champion Canelo Alvarez on September 13.

Crawford leaves the part where the money moves, because it is not really a question of challenging -completely. If he were around this, he would have moved to 168 and had the highest contenders waiting for his deserved title.

If it were to challenge -Crawford would have shown that it is worthy of defeating these contestants in Super Middleweight

“This is a struggle inherited. This is a generational struggle (money). It will speak for years,” said Crawford. “I feel like he had the speed over Canelo. I got to reach. He can be in size, power (youth and hardness), but I have the best skills. Everyone is like” man, you are crazy. “

Terence’s faded skills, Canelo Gas deposit

The skills are quite uniform. Crawford’s last struggle against Israil Madrimov showed that he was out of foot and had to depend on his best engine to win a narrow decision.

Madrimov had the best technical capacity than Crawford, but he let the fight escape in the rounds of the championship. Israil still deserved to win depending on his cleaner and cleaner features during the eighth round. However, Terence was the side A, so it was obvious because he won the victory. I had it 8-4 for Madrimov. It seemed that the version of this GGG period and could not be lost with the right hands.

Canelo has a good technical capacity to win, but his gas deposit is the problem that he could retain. If you fade away after four rounds as we saw in your last three fights, Crawford can come and steal it in the rounds of the championship as you did against Madrimov.

“Crawford, as big as it is, is a heavy weight until 168,” said Chris Mannix.

This is correct. Crawford is essentially a heavy weight, an old one who may not have enough to beat Alvarez. Fighting once a year since 2020, it is questionable if Terence will be sharp enough to defeat Canelo. It seemed that he had lost a lot of his fight against Errol Spence Jr. In 2023, when leaving 13 months to challenge Madrimov for his average weight title WBA on August 3, 2024.
