Comments Thread For: Teddy Atlas Warns Inactive Terence Crawford to Keep an Eye on Father Time

Ha ha ha. Come on my friend. Canelo has best resume in last twenty years. He’s fought everyone. Has best team in boxing in ages.

Canelo doesn't duck anyone...he just eats bad meat, doesn't fight Mexicans or the best in his weight class unless they're old but hey, its a good plan because he knows guys like you got his back.

Why oh why has he stalled his career again FFS, who is advising this guy. Saudis obviously aren't knocking on his door, he should of been fighting top dudes at 147 or 154 to maybe try to force the Canelo fight to the Saudis, if that is what he's been waiting for

Translation: Crawford destroyed the PBC's welterweight stable when he crushed the kingpin Errol Spence and you can't handle it.

i dont give a damm about PBC. Bud is 36 and is hardly known. guys like floyd and pac were already well established by 36.

Crawford been inactive for years he fights once or twice a year since like 2017. Par for the course. Boxing in shambles hate to say it but what a joke lol

Well, no chokes or arse fingertips anyway.

Absolutely can knock it!!!

we wanted him to fight Charlo when they were both active and at the same weight class at 154lbs

He only fought him when he had a two weight class advantage and when Charlo was coming off a two year lay off AND a double hand injury.

That's just bogus.

Never fought Andrade when they were both champions at 154 and 160.

Tried to age out GGG for each one of their three fights and took roids too for the rematch.

Now he waiting for Benavidez to become outgrow 168lbs so that he can weight drain him.

It can be knocked because it’s utter BS

I don’t think the Charlo assessment is correct. Canelo’s run was just about over at 154 when Charlo was just starting to establish himself. I don’t recall that fight being what folks were asking for. They were already wanting / demanding Canelo to fight GGG by the time Charlo won his first belt, while Canelo was in bigger fights like Miguel Cotto.

and in regards to GGG, Canelo was still fighting at 154 for a couple of years while “we” were asking for that fight. He defended or won a Belt vs Liam Smith at 154, took a money fight vs JCC Jr, and went straight into Golovkin. I’m a firm believer that you can’t duck somebody if they don’t fight at your own weight. He took a few opportunities and tune ups above 154 (Cotto for lineal, Khan, Chavez) AS HE SHOULD to prepare for who was seen to be the boogey man of boxing (GGG) and then took the fight.

same with Andrade who came into his own at 154 even later than Charlo. Canelo was already gone. Then Andrade went on to become a 2 weight world champion without ever beating a standing world champion (Andrade has only won vacant titles against scrubs) and then called out Canelo when he was at 168 while Andrade was as still at 160.

not at all saying that Canelo v either one of these guys a few years back wouldn’t have been interesting fights. But these were not fights that made sense, or the fans were demanding on the level of GGG / Benavidez.

Munguia like O'Sullavin were never ever going to be elite. From day one they were promoted and carefully moved into existence with the intent of creating another Canelo showcase. The only difference is that Caneo jumped ship and the sacrificial lamb stayed and rightfully so. If he was forced to fight any real top 10 guys in his weight class he would have been dispatched and out of the business years ago but he didn't, and now he'll make 10-15 million because of GB promotions.
