Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez: I'm not saying Terence Crawford fight can't happen

[jqSide]

I'll never know what this fans' obsession of Crawford/Canelo fight is all about.
Don't know the correlation of Crawford summarily dismantling Spence, who many
says he's not in his element because of the car crash, he's weight-drained, etc.
Crawford had to fight like Bivol to keep Canelo away from counterpunching.
Oh man, Crawford better be prepared for a good amount of devastation. It's not an easy fight.

Benavidez is still the guy who would give Canelo a good beating.
If you hate Canelo so much, it won't be Crawford to do the job for you.
It's a waste of time and resources. Crawford vs Tszyu or Ortiz would be better fights for fans.

You need more than Crawford-level skill to beat the current Canelo. You also need Golovkin-level power to at least be competitive. You can also try the Lara style and hope for a decision victory, which is just a "waste of time and resources" as mentioned. You have to have Bivol's footwork and speed to manage or minimize the powerful counters Alvarez is expected to unleash. If you see that in Crawford, then go ahead make the fight happen. I'm all for it.

Canelo at times contradicts himself. He knows hes at the end. He's begrudgingly cashing out.
First Crawford then Benividas and maybe a few Mayweatherisk farewell fights and then hes done.

"I have nothing to gain and everything to lose. If I beat him, everyone will say he was too small."

changing to now “I’m not saying that fight can’t happen"

lol

scary little bud not so scary now for some reason idk

Nah. Not true. Crawford has done absolutely nothing to get the Canelo fight other than use his name to divert the attention away from Ennis, and now Ortiz and Fundora, Crawford hasn't contacted the Canelo team, PBC, or whoever represents them.

I bet Crawford can't even do what Andrade did showing up in Canelo press conferences and call him out on his face. Or how about Lara making himself look like a fool standing beside Canelo? How about Crawford just climbing up in the ring in the Berlanga post fight interview just to prove he really wants it?

Crawford ain't fighting Fundora. His escape route is the Canelo fight, though.

Crawford is going to beat Fundora and his loony toon fans will call him the GOAT that ever lived. After that, Bud will beat the other guys at 154 just like he beat all the ATG at 140 which was a legacy defining reign.

At 147, Crawford’s legacy defining wins were against the ATG Khan and Brook and of course Kavaliauskas and Benavidez and Avanesyan who are all HoF guys.

Here’s the thing, Crawford is a generational talent just like PAC but my goodness, both resumes are just that - resumes. Crawford ran from Boots because apparently Boots has done “nothing” to warrant the fight or “brings nothing to the table” but Fundora, Madrimov, and the other to guys at 154 that I can’t recall without Google.

I call his fans loony toons because they will tell you Khan and Brook fights were legacy fights.

Crawford ain't fighting Fundora doe. He can't beat the guy if he ain't fighting him. He'll just continue to repeat his narrative of wanting the Canelo fight, even though he knew there's no certainty of that fight happening. Meanwhile, he has to come up with something why he won't fight the guy he filed a petition for.

No it wouldn't pay well, i would like to see Bud fight a 168 fighter, otherwise fighting canelo would just be an exhibition fight

I don't know why someone can't pay bud well for fighting benny? I say fight Benny and forget about nelo
