Comments Thread For: Should Canelo Alvarez Pursue the Terence Crawford Fight and Saudi Money?

[Jab jab boom]

I think "significantly surpass" is an overstatement.....by a lot. Granted Canelo has built his legacy on his stopping power and chin, but he also has elite boxing skills that he showcases when the fight calls for it; Bivol didn't necessarily outbox Canelo, he was just the bigger guy and was able to put together excellent combinations. I think Crawford Canelo is a 50/50 fight and doubt Canelo is ducking Crawford.....hope the fight gets made it'll be high level excellent scrap.

I disagree in the sense that Crawford’s skills do surpass those of Canelo’s and Bivol did badly out box canelo. It wasn’t his size , it was his skill and ability to not let canelo rest and fight at the measured pace he normally likes to fight at.

Then when he dismantled him and people like you will Criticize him for beating a smaller man. He will zero credit.

He and his fans didn’t care about that before but now they do? Benavidez is too big, Crawford is too small. Let me guess, berlanga is just right? Lmaoooo. Clown shyt

I have always said he is ducking Benavidez unlike you who doesn't admit Crawford ducked Ennis, Bozoo shyt. Let me guess a 10 pro fight boxer is perfect for him.

I didn’t mention anything about Crawford vs Ennis because that’s irrelevant to the topic of canelo not wanting to fight any threat. Yes Crawford should’ve fought Ennis, but we do know he’s willing to fight canelo. Canelo doesn’t want to fight Crawford or benavidez. Meanwhile his fans love giving him imaginary wins despite his ducking based on weirdo triangle theories.

Crawford only wants REAL money, that's why he "begging" to get a fight with the Cash cow and ducks Ennis to fight an irrelevant fighter. Madrimov is more irrelevant than Mungia. It is relevant because you "believe" Canelo is ducking Crawford, but Crawford is doing the ducking. Crawford hasn't done **** to deserve a Canelo fight. This a dumb as saying Inuoe should jump 3 weight classes to fight Tank Davis. This is a dumb as Saying Tank should move to WW and fight Crawford. Live in the real world.

Canelo is ducking and you modern day sissy fans are cool with it. Which is fine, just don’t try to convince us real fans otherwise. You’re embarrassing yourself more than you already have with your triangle theories.

Because canelo would make more money than he’s ever made. Duhhhh

I am just using your words. You said the fight would do well financially. I’m assuming you mean ticket sales, PPV and endorsement. None of that is applicable in Saudi Arabia. They have a shǐtload of money. All they care about is making Saudi Arabia a haven for boxing AND soccer.
So Canelo would make more money without PPV or some other Western marketing verbiage.

“You could go with the [other] sanctioning body [WBC] mandatory and make the [David] Benavidez fight or go make this fantasy fight,” cracked analyst Paulie Malignaggi, who has long chided Alvarez for balking at meeting his most talented opponent, Benavidez, the unbeaten former super middleweight champion from Phoenix.

I agree with Paulie! Pick your poison! I suggest taking the BIG BAG from Turki, and fighting Crawford!!!

Hot take bro. Pretty unpopular opinion lmfao stfu moron

The conversation before you chimed on was about the incentive for canelo. So I mentioned financial as one. Clearly that’s a major and likely the primary one for canelo because despite his claims of chasing greatness, he clearly prioritizes the money. He’s had major disputes with both Dazn and PBC and has bounced between both due to him wanting a certain level of pay that they believed was excessive for lesser opposition. He’s gone in record and said the only way he’d face benavidez (which is really the best match that can be made for him at 168) was if he got paid 150-200 mil. So the financial incentive is there. What’s not ideal for him is the risk.

what happens when crawford has no power at 168? he isnt a high volume guy, so he sits there trying to counter and box with canelo, and hes slower since he put on weight. i dont see him winning.
