Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford locks down camp until Canelo Alvarez fight week

[Malvado]

hernandez would possible destroy crawford right now! kyrone davis is one of benavidez;s notable wins btw. both of canelo's sparring partners davis and gvodyk ,so what are you really saying there


crawford has never faced any one near as good as canelo declining or not. he asked for this fight, be better come to **** it out. one inch backward,the fans will be whistling to extreme levels,

canelo will be whipping the crowd into a frenzy, waving his arms like a rodeo, playing with this guy like saunders, ! what a crock

I did not mention David, who also put a beating on Davis, think those just were the options at PBC at the time.

That Kyrone Davis's was renown to be Reynoso's camp constant sparring partner for Canelo, he was being brought up as a contender at Middleweight but fell short outside of beating the upcoming Elijah Garcia. Don't think Benavidez gets any credit from beating Davis as he was a Super Middleweight, Hernandez put a pretty great performance against a contender from his weight class and was the first to score a knockdown on the granite chinned boxer.

However I do think people take away from David's performance against Gvozdyk just because he didn't look overwhelming against a faded veteran. He is more than a gate keeper, a world ranked fighter that has championship belt, is pretty experienced, well rounded and heavy handed. Though not championship level fighter, Benavidez was injured with a torn tendon, a small cut in the brow and a busted knuckle, yet decided to fight when he could had postponed, he pressured then box affectively. For a top level debut at Light Heavyweight.

Against a undefeated Morrell, considering both Davids are from the same division, both could sweep most from Super Middleweight and Light Heavyweight, excluding the champions at 175.

Do think Benavidez's team was too confident against the younger and stronger fighter, that their fighter being quite more experienced, faster and having more wrinkles on his game, D.B. had an unhealthy cut 30 pounds within a month instead of the 2-3 months to gradually lose weight before the big cut, which affected his gas tank as he was bloated. But that's on Benavidez's team, they fought fair and square with the Light Heavyweight top contender. Vice Versa too, Morrell had less experience and was too confident on his physical prowess, which he nows needs to compensate for.

if there’s any fight for Saul to be fired up for again it’s this bout

great opponent who’s coming up two weights

knock to Saul legacy if TBud beats him under
these circumstances

He had a fight at 154 and it was his acclimation fight against a undefeated prime WBA champion. But one his most difficult challenges to date because of the circumstances of frame and age.

Great fighter, but notable that Canelo did so to take less punishment and more reward through Turki.

tallest guy looks like skinny darker Yarde

It is probably him, off the sauce, trying to spar with Canelo under another alias before fighting David, clever bastard.

I am no fan of Canelo. I used to be. I still think he is an ATG.

But this statement here - “ …to a fighter he dragged up three division and is 38 years old.”
Canelo did not “drag” Bud up three division. Bud was the one calling for this fight from the get-go. Canelo dismissed it as a joke until Turki got involved.
Bud is on record multiple times saying he will move to 168.
So where do you come up with Canelo “dragged” Bud up three division?

It can be dressed up however the promoters and fans want it to be just to hype up the fight and avoid any criticism it actually deserves, Canelo picked a fighter near his 40s that had just moved up to Light Middleweight, he picked him over other options. It was a option Turki pushed sure, but it is not up to him if the teams say Yes or No.

Canelo agreed to fight Crawford over any other Super Middleweight, that's just how it is. He could had fought Mbilli, Pacheco, or anyone actually deserving a title shot of any of the belts. He picked Bud. No matter how great Crawford is, I can't say he beat or deserves the shot against the highest ranked contenders at the division like Mbilli, Osleys and etc. The fight is only happening because of how well it beneficial benefits the fighters and promoters.

After the fight, if he gets any criticism for either winning or losing in questionable fashion considering the circumstances after glamour of the fight is gone, that is on him.

they say crawford is the #1 P4P guy. at least bivol and usyk say that,who are no worse than 2 or 3.

nobody is saying that about mbili, pacheho,. so yes, canelo is fighting the #1 P4P fighter. . and getting paid a lot

hoevidez is fighting a guy who lost to guy who canelo stopped. very many levels. as said, hernandez, canelo sparring partner, will destroy crawford if they fighted. but they want canelo to do it so what can we do

Does that mean Canelo could fight Usyk because of P4P rankings? Or not because the favorite Canelo is too small according to how he lost to Bivol from pillar to post? Being 3 weight classes below Usyk.

Do you also mean Anthony Yarde?

Agaisnt Canelo, Kovalev was coming off 11 round brutal fight against Yarde who almost pulled an upset until Kovalev bounced back and stopped him, and then barely had less than 2 months, to properly recover from his concussion and back injury. He had to immediately weight cut after having a recent fight with Yarde, and had a 185 rehydration clause by Canelo's team. It's free on the citations of Wikipedia or Ai Grok/GPT by the way.

Even then before Canelo caught him, Kovalev had the lead before he gassed and was unable to react to Alvarez's shot.

Questions in bad faith. Use whatever minor grey matter you may have sloshing around up there.

I don’t disagree at all. Canelo’s been cherry-picking his way to a rich retirement, fighting no-names and no-hopes the last four years.
I am not hyping this fight nor do I care for it. It’s payday for both.
Crawford just made it easy for Canelo to continue ducking other fighters by calling Canelo out.
Canelo would have probably fought Ricardo Mayorga or Jeff Lacy if Crawford wasn’t in the picture.

I know it’s great isn’t it. A user called butt stuff on a boxing forum, on the fringes of the internet. And he’s embarrassingly still somehow your intellectual superior.

[Haka]

That Soviet bum is better than anyone Canelo has fought in years. And Canelo isn’t anywhere near good enough to think he’ll be dominant over Crawford. He’s levels below skill wise.

That is not true he was better than anyone Crawford has faced not Canelo.

[QballLobo]

Good. I am paying big money to be there in person. I don’t want any excuses when he takes the L.
