Crawford’s immense task: to overcome the size, age and inactivity to challenge Canelo, by Hoya is still doubtful

La Hoya’s promoter Oscar doubts that Terence Crawford will be able to defeat the Unified Champion of Super Media Canelo Alvarez when two divisions are moved to challenge him by the belt on September 13. De la Hoya claims that a “good little man” has never “baptized a good old man”.

The fighters who have smarter boys beaten:

• Ray Robinson sugar
• Roy Jones Jr.
• Ray Leonard sugar
• Manny Pacquiao

A jump too big?

It is difficult for Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) to achieve this feat because it will essentially advance three classes of weight after a very bright performance in its debut on August 154 against Israil Madrimov. This struggle was close enough to be a draw, but the judges gave it to Crawford and you can understand why. It was the side A.

Crawford’s reluctance to fight at 160 or 168 to keep it occupied and to show that it is another reason why he will not beat Canelo. Terence obviously shot with the fighters in these weight classes and knows that it would be a bad idea for him to compete against one of these murderers before obtaining his great fight against Canelo.

“I have been in this game for so long and I like to say that I am a historian. There has never been a good little man who surpasses a good old man. It has not happened,” said Oscar de la Hoya Fighthype When asked about his thoughts about whether Terence Crawford can advance two classes of weight to defeat Canelo Alvarez at Super Middleweight.

“The exception is perhaps a pacquiao that overcome me, but this situation was totally different. I was at the end of my career, I was a shooting fighter, and Pacquiao arrived, and it hit me. But a good little man, who is Crawford, has never surpassed a good old man, who would be a candle in the history of sports.”

The age of Crawford

Obviously, numerous fighters have increased multiple divisions to defeat the largest fighters in the past. What causes Crawford’s task to be more problematic for him is his advanced age, inactivity and lack of power. Bud will be 38 in September; Look at it. In addition, Crawford has only struggled once a year since 2020 and will be 13 months old.

A fighter can escape this kind of inactivity when they are younger or fight against the minor opposition, but when they grow older and move and fight someone well, they lose. Maybe Crawford does not mind if you are beaten. He has been ahead of one of the reasons why he wants to fight Alvarez so badly. They are the money.

Nebraska Native Crawford cannot do any places near the same type of mass fighting 154, and some boys in this class of weight would make chips. Boys like Bakhram Murtazaliev, Vergil Ortiz Jr., Sebastian Fundora and Serhii Bohachuk Aging Crawford. If only struggling once a year, it would never be possible to fight even half of these guys before being struck in retirement.

“If Crawford can do it, gives this man the title of ‘The largest in history. This is probably the motivation for Crawford and his coach. “Look, if you can beat Canelo, you can pass as one of the best historical fighters on the planet.” This is enough motivation for any fighter. I just don’t see it as a fighter.

“Canelo is a punch.

De la Hoya goes to the Borda with which Crawford would get if he had to overcome the 35 -year -old Canero Alvarez, 35. Terence would not be the “older ever” if he defeated Canelo because the Mexican star has faded for the last three years and has not fought since 2022.

If Crawford surpasses this faded version of Canelo, only a boy would have been struck that he would probably have lost many times if he had fought against the 168 pounds instead of avoiding them. Canelo has devastated the old Pesos Supers David Benavidez and David Morrell, and is now clearly avoiding the main contestants of 168 pounds.

A victory for Crawford against Alvarez would only show what the connoisseurs in the boxing box already knows: Canelo is on the hill. That is why he does not want to fight the true murderers in 168 and why he avoided Benavidez and Morrell when they were in the division.
