Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez is a bridge too far for Terence Crawford, says Mikey Garcia

All politics of boxing. Fallow the money and there is your answer.

Cash is king right ?
But in this case I think there’s a little more to it
Al wasn’t looking forward to losing the belt and imo is why the whole shenanigans

turki wants the fight bud wants the fight and canelo want 250 mil Lololol

once again, TC beating fundora does nothing as compared to TC beating canelo!!! what are you not getting????

so now weight classes exist for a reason??? so a fighter is supposed to fight in 1 weight division for the rest of his career??????

You'd have a lot fewer of these questions if you got in the ring yourself, even just sparring.

You'll find out though.

You don't even understand what "weight classes exist for a reason" means. It doesn't mean that fighters should never move up. You move up when it makes sense to for your body. People like you think that height is relevant. Fundora is taller and longer than Daniel Dubois (or Usyk, for that matter). Do you honestly think he'd have a chance because he's "the same size"?

If he's good enough to beat Canelo, he should have no trouble beating Fundora and Murtazaliev, who are in his current division and less skilled. Doing so would make him the ONLY fighter to become 3 division undisputed in the 4 belt era. Only Inoue has a chance to do the same. Or do you want to argue that Fundora and Murtazaliev are tougher than Canelo?
He petitioned for the Fundora fight and was granted it. Fundora had to sit out for 8 months because he was ordered by the WBO to fight Bud or be stripped. He was ready to make the fight. Murtazaliev said he'd fight Bud, and Turki said he'd make those fights happen. So why not make those fights and get the Saudi paydays and make the Canelo fight even bigger? You need to answer that question. Because your whole BS depends on Crawford being good enough to beat Canelo, and if he's that good, and Fundora is comparatively trivial, he should have beaten Fundora already in 2024. He wasn't injured, and didn't fight at all. He could finished 2024 the undisputed champ at 154 and been the clearly best fighter in the world instead of Usyk, and been paid millions for making that history. And that would have made the Canelo fight even bigger. IF he's actually good enough to take on the bigger fighters and win...

If he's not, and he realized that he was lucky to win vs Madrimov, then it should be clear why he's insisting on the big money cash out, and why he won't risk that fight against Fundora and Murtazaliev. He's not confident he can beat either of those guys, let alone both, and if he loses one of those fights, the Canelo payday goes away for good.

I agree great post

[IceTrayDaGang]

You talking as if this matchup is Ali-Foreman . Bud is 38 he is on his way out . Good Riddance. Tank is way more fun to watch.

so why ya calling for bud to unify the division if he's on his way out??? LOL!!!! geezus!!!

[IceTrayDaGang]

No, I would've liked to have seen Bud fight Fundora and Murta to unify 154 and then move up after. It's reasonable to think that those two fights could have happened within 12 months...

bolded in red.... i dont think so! LOL... have you been following TC??? TC fights once a year bruh. which is why i said if he fought all those names you mentioned, that would take him 5 years to do so!!!

the bolded... i dont have to do anything or get in the ring.... i am not the one calling out canelo for a fight!!!! TC wants to fight canelo. it's not like he's being pressured (like floyd did with pac)... TC wants canelo!!! BIG difference.

[PRvazquez]

so why ya calling for bud to unify the division if he's on his way out??? LOL!!!! geezus!!!

I’m not calling for Bud to unify nothing . I’m just calling it for what it is . He can’t beat Canelo. He gets kod to the body and pisses blood for a week. If he wants more standing in the sport stop calling for dream matches and take care of business.

For quite some time, I thought that was the plan.

[thack]

That makes total sense..
