Comments Thread For: The Beltline: This week we learned that Canelo Alvarez-Terence Crawford was on, and then off, and then on again

[Lefty0616]

Canelo is not going to fight four difficult bouts. I wouldn't. If he fights Paul on Cinco De Mayo (an easy fight to tune up for an epic showdown in September), followed by Crawford (in September), and then fight the winner of Bivol VS Beterbiev, or Benavidez (in 2026), and then a bum (also in 2026)......as a fight fan I'd be pleased.

Id also tip my hat to Canelo out of respect.

This is spot on.

Crawford and Alvarez is geared more towards the casual fans who would have a hard time identifying Benavidez, Bivol, or Beterbiev in a police lineup. The promoters and fighters will laugh away on their way to the bank or ******-account while fans will yet again suffer because of it, including the casuals. This won't be that different from Pacman vs. Floyd, except that the older fighter will be the winner in this case, unless Canelo ages significantly by then. I doubt it, but this sport can always surprise us.

I'm far from a casual fan, and would love to see Crawford VS Canelo. Folks really believe that this will be an easy fight for Canelo. This is a fight of year candidate in the making. Crawford can beat Canelo.

Canelo will definitely lose against Benavidez, Beterbiev, and Benavidez. They are too big and strong; they're true light heavyweights. Canelo is a middleweight, that cherry picked his way through the light heavyweight scene. He miscalculated with Bivol.

Lmfao
People talkin’ delusions but then mention Beterbiev , Bivol and Benny
Canelo won’t even be caught in the same room as those three
But fighting Bud is delusional
Smfh

we learned that canelo might fight scull, crawford, or surace. all 3 fights are terrible lol.

Ok genius so who else is available for him to fight? Benavidez is now a full blown LHW and he wont blow a chance to become a 2 div champ being in line for a shot at the winner of Beter-Bivol, again, who else would be good enough for you and the rest of the haters then? Mbilli?

Crawford in May to shut up all the delusional people who Think Crawford can win. Easy Pay Day.
Benavidez in September
Beterbiev/Bivol Winner next February

Apparently Canelos mismatch vs Bud is in September. Canelo fighting in May. No mention of Bud fighting before he said he is waiting on Canelo so looks like he is sticking to his part time schedule of 1 fight per year and making the fight an even bigger mismatch. Looks like most people have fallen into the hype of Canelo Bud where now they put it ahead of even Canelo Benavidez.

Everyone will tune in . And Ginger hate will spread like usual. Complaining continues……….

This would he Ideal only it Turki can make it happen. Money always talks at the end.

Who runs Barter Town? Canelo runs Barter Town.

Canelo using Jake Paul as leverage as well as threatening to kick his ball over the fence to get overpaid once again.

I see Bud and Nelo throwing no more than 20-30 punches a round and both their connect percentages going down. Will there be a rehydration clause? I doubt it. I don’t see Bud with the Power or nerve that Bivol has to take it to Canelo. Does Bud even risk jabs to Nelo’s body? How slow does this fight start? I predict both Bud and Canelo win financially and fans lose.

Its not nerve its size Bivol is bigger than Canelo., TC will fight to use angles, counters, be nimble use his speed and IQ to touch him and move he cannot stand in front of Canelo and exchange you beat Canelo with foot speed and great conditioning, a Mayweather type of boxing masterclass is Buds only hope of winnng.

Whatever he does from now on, if he chooses to fight charlo would tarnish his legacy more than anything that could possibly happen in the ring.
