Comments Thread For: Why does Terence Crawford have Canelo Alvarez tunnel vision?

[Al Faz]

It's a lose, lose fight for Canelo. He is expected to beat a smaller guy and if he loses, it will tarnish his legacy.

He had no issues fighting Khan, I guess Canelo is truly scared lol. His fighting Crawford would give him his biggest payday too so it cant be a lose-lose

[boxingitis]

I don't get it either. Bud has been straight forward about wanting to fight Ginger because fighting Ginger pays the most. Turki loves Bud and has unlimited funds. Why doesn't Turki offer Bud the same amount of money he'd make fighting Ginger to fight Ortiz or anyone else????

The answer is Crawford doesn't sell and Turki doesn't want to pay someone who is not worth it.

That was GB plans. He didn't have an issue fighting Bigger guys either.

Commercially in the US, I think Fundora is the better over Ortiz Yszyu in Australia and the idea of Conor benn, I like it slot. I like the challenge of the new division but it sounds like Bud isn’t interested. He should take the Ortiz fight and retire. Very winnable. He’s wanting big big money and the guys that may be available aren’t Canelo popular. Not his fault, profiles haven’t been being built lately and of course that has to do with HBO and showtime exiting the sport because most of the guys he’s beaten lately have been built by those networks.PPV has injured boxing and im going back to not buying. Unless it’s Bud fighting. I think ESPN has been doing a good but of course they’re building guys for their own interests. Nothing wrong with it that’s just how the landscape is now

Crawford is looking at retirement and wants a big payday. I think he might be done if he doesn't get canelo.

[boxingitis]

Crawford needs to retire if he is not fighting Fundora, Ortiz, or Boots.
Hell, even Bohachuk for those who think he won.

I'm still of the opinion that Bud has a chance of out boxing Canelo. Canelo can stop Bud but he has to land first. You see how Plant and Saunders were out boxing Canelo until he caught them but Bud is a level above Plant and 2 levels above Saunders and crucially he has zen-like focus for all 36 minutes unlike most other boxers.

Canelo can fight Mbilli and who else? Jermall's not coming back.

Sounds about right, but Turki is a huge fan of Bud. Why wouldn't Bud just ask Turki for a huge payday similar to what he'd get against Ginger, to fight against one of the top names at 154 and then call it a night?

[JakeTheBoxer]

He just wants his retirement money. I can`t blame him. Everybody from 154 to 175 wants Canelo fight.

[LAchargers373]

He still needs to beat Fundora and Tim Tszyu(if he wins)to be Undisputed and Maybe even Charlo if he comes back.
Why doesn't Mr Turki just trow a LOAD on Crawford so he can retire comfortably instead of Begging Canelo.
Why do Turki and Crawford need Canelo if Crawford is supposedly the best boxer in the world and Turki is Loaded with money?

he’s trying to but crawford won’t fight anyone but canelo lmao
