The advantages and cons of a Terence Crawford vs. Erislandy Lara Title Grab

Sergio Mora says that Terence Crawford should go to 160 and fight Erislandy Lara next to his middle weight title in the WBA to become a world champion of six divisions. He thinks a Crawford victory over Lara (31-3-3, 19 kos) would place him in the same class as Roberto Duran, Hank Armstrong and Sugar Ray Robinson.

Lara has not fought in a year since her ninth round stopped on Danny Garcia on September 14, 2024. In addition, Lara is 42 years old and will be 43 years old on April 11. Given his age, it would be difficult for fans to subscribe to Netflix in large numbers to see a clash between him and Crawford.

What would struggle with Erislandy Lara even worse is if Crawford decides to follow a lap of extensive victory for a year or more instead of returning at the end of 2025. If Crawford waits until September 2026 before fighting again, Lara will be a larger year and will be 43. This would have a victory for Crawford.

“Crawford can pick up a strap against Erislandy Lara to become a world champion of six division,” said boxing analyst Sergio Mora The Chris Mannix channel About who Terence Crawford can fight below. “Crawford, the $ 50 million he did, will never do it again.”

It would probably be a dramatic reduction that Bud would deal with if fighting Lara then, instead of a resale with Canelo or a risky struggle against David Benavidez. This reduction in remuneration can cause Crawford to fall into fighting Erislandy. It is Mora who believes it is a great idea, not Crawford.

“Terence Crawford would put the type of beating on Erislandy Lara as one who would never forget. It is not Erislandy Lara who fought against Canelo in 2014. I don’t know who is paying cash for this struggle,” said Mannix.

Lara was slow, rigid and old in her latest fight against Danny Garcia in September 2024. It seems nothing like the fighter who had been when he lost to Canelo by a controversial decision of division of 12 rounds on July 12, 2014.

Crawford does not do any favor by rejecting a fight against David Benavidez, because it may be the only option that is in addition to a Canelo resale where he can get a mass payment. Turki Alahikh would not have mentioned Benavidez after the fight if he did not see him as the most commercializable struggle for Crawford.

Options for Crawford’s next struggle
