Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford outboxes, upsets Canelo Alvarez in historic win

Great fight by Terrence Crawford. Now I'm 100% convinced that he really is who everyone thought he could be. What's next ? Does he defend the belts or go up one more time ? Or has he climbed enough mountains and can rest now ? Interesting times ahead.

I mean at this point both guys can retire there is not much left to prove if you think about it, Canelo been 2x Undisputed 4 div champ ,millions of dollars in purses as well as money invested in businesses, the guy is set for life doesn't really need to keep fighting tbh. And Crawford now the only 3x Undisputed in boxing history, multi division champ as well, still undefeated and made lot money in this fight. Maybe Turki offers them more money for a rematch ,people would tune in again for sure but in reality not much left to prove from either.

I thought Canelo signed a 3 fight deal with Turki and this was number 2?
Why wouldn't Crawford go again against Bivol? Neither hurt Canelo and it would be undisputed v undisputed again.

Great performance by Bud. To touch on the fact he was not given big money opportunity until Alalshikh, who was it who didn't push him?
Everystein, Singleberg and Timeowitz. Adios to their rep, Bob Arum.

The Spence fight was pretty big and that was PBC/Top Rank. Turki has taken the biggest fights to another level though.

Crawford against Bivol?, damn bro the guy just got the belts at 168 pump those brakes a little lol. Besides Bivol has both Beterviev and Benavidez on the radar but in all honestly, do you really give Bud a shot against a full fledged undisputed 175 pounder like Bivol? I dont know about that one.

Bud still ducked boots

After now handily losing 2 of the 3 biggest fights in his career, hopefully people and media can have a truthful conversation about what Canelo really is. A pretty good fighter. Not even close to ATG in the ring. His much hyped undisputed run included Avni Yildirim (he was "chosen" by Canelo, suleimons words). Lost to a small 36 year old and now a small 37 year old. Neither was really that close. Dominated by Bivol who was a 3-1 underdog. Wouldnt fight Benavidez, Jermall, or Andrade but somehow found time to fight both Smith Brothers. Franchise belt champion. Clembuterol user. What recent middleweight ATG could he beat? Roy? No. Bernard? No. Ward? No. He is a media creation if there ever was one.

. Clembuterol

*Clenbuterol* user, but yes the point is the same. If you fail a PED test you're out of the running for GOAT status if you ask me. Also, I felt it was pretty obvious he lost that first GGG fight.

Bud is a legend

Best fighter of his era

Incredible win. One of the greatest wins ever.
