Comments Thread For: Facing Canelo Alvarez at 168 is a step too far for Terence Crawford, says trainer

Don't worry your silly little head off, Canelo sees something in Crawford he also sees in Morrell and benavedz and not even 80 million will change his mind. Maybe Crawford is Mexican?

Not worried. All crawford is doing is making a money grab. People who know boxing. Know its a joke.. Makes more sense for Crawford to get all the 154 belts. He Probably can do that. Maybe.

All Canelo is doing is making a money grab and people who know boxing. Absolutely Know Berlanga is a joke. Yet Canelo is fighting this joke for 1/4 the price...what's that tell you?

You really think Crawford can whip Berlanga?? I seriously doubt it. Boy looks like a heavyweight

Crawfrod wants the winner, not the loser. Berlanga has nothing Crawford wants or needs and after the fight he'll have less than Danny Garcia.

Why does Crawford get to cut to the front of the line in a weight class hes NEVER fought in???? Hes just after the money. Keep living a fantasy, casual.

WTF? Canelo ONLY fights for EASY MONEY! Canelo personally handpicked Mungia, Ryder and Brelanga, ditched Scull and ducked a guy that was mandatory for 3 years…..for EASY MONEY!

If you can’t admit that you're living in a parallel universe of delusion.

Not trying to offend just just trying to ”SAY IT LIKE IT IS”.

I agree, they're easy fights cause everyone in his weight class sucks.
Crawford would be even EASIER. Id rather see him fight a guy his weight. Let crawford fight at least 2 big names at 168 then fight canelo. We both know that will never happen.

Crawford isn't fighting anyone for peanuts and Canelo refuses to fight Crawford for 3 times what he made fighting Berlanga which means Canelo thinks Crawford is too difficult, even for 3 times the money.

In every weight class boxers are EXPECTED TO EARN fighting the champ. Thats the way it is but todays fans are dumb. They like celebrity fights like Jake Paul does. It is what it is. Boxing is now a joke.

There's no doubt the sanctioning bodies are corrupt cops and anyone that can afford the protection views them as THEIR private security. Frankly I'm not sure if Turki Alalshikh is Freddy Heflin or Ray Donlan but anything is better then the corrupt status quo, but I digress.

As for Canelo vs. Crawford...Terrance Crawford is an unbeaten, unified champion that's the same size as Charlo with skills similar to Bivol and that makes him dangerous. Also true is that Canelo, and others like myself, believe that if Canelo can catch Crawford he can hurt him. The problem is that Canelo isn't 100% confident he can catch Crawford and a loss will put every carefully selected opponent under a microscope and Canelo can't afford that...and THAT is the ONLY reason the fight isn't happening. Like it or not, that's the unvarnished truth, it is what it is.

I'll even go out on a limb and predict that a massive offer is in the works and if I'm correct, Canelo will balk because he's not 100% certain and lacks the confidence to find out.
