Comments Thread For: 'Canelo' Alvarez-Terence Crawford ruled out by Saudi Arabian powerbrokers

[Greenfield02]

Canelo is becoming less and less relevant in the sport. He’s said numerous times that he doesn’t want the Crawford or benavidez fight. For the latter he made a ridiculous financial demand and we all know he was talking to the saudis. Everyone in boxing has become tired of his arrogance and that combined with his mediocre performances against less than mediocre opponent selection, has made him less relevant. Sure he has those weirdo groupies who will defend anything about him, but there are only so many of those idiots. This ppv with Berlanga bombs.

Canelo is learning from Crawford in taking on the B level. Crawford is the champ of beating the B level...

[Greenfield02]

And too think that it wasn't long ago that people on this site along with the media Were saying that Crawford would beat Canelo. Goes to show that Crawford fans along with the media don't know sh** and just trying to stir things up, these are the same people that call Crawford the best fighter in the world when he's beaten absolutely nobody...

[KING.TUT.766]

The fool ones still think he’d beat alvarez after struggling against a smaller, has lesser power and not as granite chin fighter.

i was rooting for t-bud against spence and madrimov but if he cannot hurt Madrimov there is no way he’s hurting Canelo. Canelo will walk him mexican style and buckle him with the first right hand he lands. And i don’t even like ginger guy.

Even munguia would walk thru bud.
people seem to forget crawford is hittable, not just in madrimov fight, but almost 90% of his fights, he’s not some defensive elusive genius.. he always take and gives and he outgives his opponents.. that style would give big powerful dudes advantage because you can’t outgive them and you ain’t that elusive to avoid them power punches for 36 minutes as the smaller guy, way smaller when compared to alvarez

He still has a chance to outbox Canelo like he did madrimov. And madrimov was at 168 in the amatuers while bud was at 140 in the pros. And Madrimov just fought at 160 before he won the 154 vacant. Bud absolutely hurt Madrimov and if canelo tries to walk him down he getting punched on all night.

Canelo also aint the physical specimen/athlete Madrimov is. Yall real don't want Canelo to have to prove himself in the ring huh? Yall cool wit hypothetical victories like tank fans now huh?

Bud hasn't earned the payday of a lifetime, canelo calls the shots not the saudis or Crawford.

Sorry but "his excellency" is finding out all to well that all roads lead to Al Haymon son!

I don’t know man. The way things are looking today. Haymon would be a fool to not to tap into that Saudi money.

As boxing fans this was the best thing that could have ever happened to the sport. Now we are seeing fights that we normally don’t see.

It’s because your excellency is now bringing rival promoters together to fill out these mega boxing cards.

[champion4ever]

Imagine how quickly he would have taken that cash if Spence was offered instead of crawford.

Absolutely!

[TonyRespectful]

Foos on here saying Canelo is ducking Crawford are beyond dumb all the way to moronic.There has to be an actual offer,not just talk ! Impossible to duck a non offer ! Is Canelo supposed to call out lil Bud ? Be happy the Saudi’s are saving Bud from permanent damage.

[champion4ever]

That’s my take as well. Verbiage seems to imply they feel as though negotiations are not worth their time. Although it’s business, it’s not a stretch for the cats in Saudi to feel somewhat disrespected by Canelo’s outrageous demands.

I agree. Why is it that Canelo just so happens to be the lone hold out in the sport?

Everyone in the boxing iindustty is happy with their offers; Including boxers, trainers, managers and promoters alike.

All of the American fight promoters and boxers were present at Saturday night’s event and they were all smiling from ear to ear.

[Airtioteclint]

Good! The thought should never have been entertained to begin with.

How people expect fighters to just jump up like they don't have weight classes for a reason.

Like "yeah, youre good for your size now let's see you take on someone bigger". It's ridiculous and everybody seems to be with it which is even more ridiculous.

[Mister Wolf]

Isnt Fundora fighting Spence

I don't think so. His promoter said they plan on negotiating with Crawford.
