Historical naivety

They feel that Crawford does not know about the big past, so it thinks naive that a victory over Canelo is only enough to place it ahead of the fighters who made much more in their career. The grains of the past not only had two good names on their resumes, as Crawford does.

They had records full of formidable talent. You can’t blame Terence for not knowing about the great big fighters. Crawford is not the only active fighter who does not know the history of sport.

In an interview with Manouk AkopyanCrawford (41-0, 31 kos) said that he would advance essentially three classes of weight when he challenges Canelo (62-2-2, 39 kos) so that he expects to be the Super-Mig Halfish-Mig Championship indisputable on September 13.

It would be impressive that Crawford went to Canelo to become an indisputable champion of three divisions. However, it would be difficult to place it a lot due to its limited curriculum.

Compared to the fighters of the past, who fought with excellent opposition throughout their career, the Terence’s record is almost completely steric of elite opposition. He has a victory over Errol Spence, but not much more in his resume would suggest that he belongs to the top 3 or the first 50 pounds of all time.

This is just a small list of fighters who have collected better records than Crawford. Although Terence makes its best Canelo on September 13, it would be crazy to place it above these fighters.

Delusions or reality?

It is okay for a fighter to be confident, but when his valuation of themselves moves to the Borda, they are so sad, deceived and out of contact with reality. Crawford’s swollen sense of his successes has been there for years.

So it’s not just a new thing. It was constantly classified at the top and no one paid attention to him so far because he had never fought against a major opposition.

At this point, Alvarez is widely considered to have lost ambition and only fight for money. Crawford is on the same boat. Nor is the risks risk. It seems to have focused on achieving the greatest payment it can without fighting the most formidable contestants. Canelo is the biggest payment day for Nebraska’s native.

Currently, Canelo has three belts, but he is the favorite to pick up the last belt against the 168 -pound IBF champion William Scull on May 3. Crawford only fought once in 154 after rising from 147 last August. Therefore, it is difficult to name a half young weight because it is experience in this class of weight limited to the fight against Israil Madrimov.

Crawford did not want to warm up in 168 before challenging Canelo for belts in September, but it could have it. It was his choice and chose to sit and wait.
