Terence Crawford Wants Canelo, Not “Boots” Ennis
By James Slater - 07/23/2024

Terence Crawford has a big fight coming up, a potentially dangerous fight, this against 154 pound defending titlist Israil Madrimov. Yet fans seem to be looking ahead, and so does Crawford – to a possible super fight with Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez. And while “Bud” and his trainer BoMac insist they are not overlooking Madrimov or taking a fourth weight division victory for granted, the talk, the majority of it, is about what’s next after Madrimov, not the upcoming Madrimov challenge.

Crawford, speaking with MMA Fighting, explained why he wants the fight with Canelo and not so much one with rising welterweight star Jaron “Boots” Ennis. Ask a fight fan, and plenty of them will say Ennis when it comes to who they’d most like to see Crawford fight next. But Crawford says a fight with “Boots” doesn’t make anywhere near as much sense as a fight with Canelo does.

“Being where I’m at right now I’m looking at the fight that make the most sense and that’s not Boots,” Crawford said. “Canelo’s going to bring more to my legacy, way more to my bank account because at the end of the day when boxing is done with, what will we have? I want to have a legacy that’s something that people will talk about for ages. And not only that, I want to have a bank account that will last for ages as well.”

So, what would a win over Canelo, up at 168 pounds, do for Crawford’s legacy? A whole lot, that’s what. When this fight was first spoken of, plenty of people laughed or sneered, saying Crawford, who won his first world title at lightweight, is simply too small to be messing with a 168 pounder, especially one as proficient as Canelo. But now, if Crawford beats Madrimov on August 3, it really could be Canelo next. And as special as he is, combined with the fact that Canelo, who just turned 34, may have lost a step, along with some hunger, Crawford’s chances of a win are pretty high.

How shocked would you be by a Crawford points win over Canelo? It could happen. And Crawford’s legacy would be cemented, while his bank balance would be swell.

But again, first comes Madrimov, a strong, determined, skilled fighter who is certain he will get the win over “Bud” next month. As for Ennis, he will have to make do with unifying the welterweight titles, with “Boots” making his name as the next dominant 147 pounder.

They all want the Canelo escape route. Crawford is no different from the Charlo brothers who avoid high-risk low reward fighters. They'd rather waste time waiting for the escape route to come by. Charlo Jermell got lucky he had his.

Not strange. Some people just can't give up their agenda of lying to themselves and their audience and want us to believe people are still buying PPV in massive numbers. HBO and Showtime exited boxing which proves PPVs were never their bread and butter.

I know what you're saying. And it's not hard to see patterns in their lies. Had the Prograis vs Haney took place in the PBC platform, for example, FatDan would have come up with something like 280K or something. Real figures clearly shows it tanked and were never got released. Fight wasn't big, but got some intrigue and buzz in it, but it didn't do well on PPV. Which is fine and realistic. But if that fight was on PBC/SHO people like FanDan would have come up with fake numbers.

I hear you. We'll predict Fat Dan's fake number together when PBC's next "big" PPV fight happens.

No way in hell anything happens in this fight except a clear Crawford win. My ruling: Zero chance Madrimov upsets Crawford. See ya soon.

That's your opinion. And I have mine.

We both agree that Crawford will most likely win.

I disagree in that there is room for an upset in this fight.

We shall see.....

Respect!

His inactivity has once again hurts him. He’s in his mid 30’s he doesn’t have much time left. He gets a notable win against Spence and then takes a year and a half off again. I guess it wasn’t Top Rank that was holding him back.

Crawford took a year and half off?
FYI
Crawford defeated Spence and couldn't fight anyone else because he was locked into a Rematch clause with Errol Spence who kept postponing that fight till it was eventually cancelled months later (No fault of Bud or Top Rank)

We don't agree. Nothing for me is "most likely" going to happen. Zero chance for an upset. Zero chance Madrimov wins this fight. Catch me on the 3rd.
