The huge task of Crawford: overcoming the size, age and inaction to challenge Canelo, de la Hoya remains doubtful
Published
5 days agoon

Promoter Oscar de la Hoya doubts that Terenka Crawford will be able to defeat the united champion of super medium weight, Canelo Alvarez when he moves on two divisions to challenge him for his lanes on September 13. De la Hoya states that “a good little man” “never beat a good large man.”
(Loan: Melanie Pizano/Matchroom)
Fighters who defeated larger guys:
- Sugar Ray Robinson
- Roy Jones Jr.
- Sugar Ray Leonard
- Manny Pacquiao
Too much jump?
Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) is achieving this feat, because he will basically move three classes of weight after a delicate performance in his debut in August 154 against Israil Madrimov. This fight was close enough to be a draw, but the judges gave it to Crawford and you can understand why. He was a page A.
Crawford’s reluctance to fight in 160 or 168 to remain busy and prove that he is another reason why he does not intend to defeat Canelo. Terenka apparently paired with warriors in these weight classes and knows that it would be a bad idea to compete with one of these killers before he started fighting Canelo.
“I have been in this game for so long and I like to say that I am a historian. There has never been a good little man who beats a good vast man. It did not happen,” said Oscar de la Hoya Warrior When asked about his thoughts whether Terenka Crawford can transfer two classes of weight to defeat Canelo Alvarez in super middle weight.
“Pacquiao can defeat me an exception, but this situation was completely different. I was at the end of my career, I was a warrior, and Pacquiao came, and he defeated me. But a good little man who is Crawford, never defeated a good large man who would be Canelo in the history of this sport.”
Crawford’s age
Of course, many fighters have moved many divisions to defeat larger fighters in the past. What makes Crawford’s task more problematic for him is his advanced age, inaction and lack of impact strength. Bud will be 38 years elderly in September; He looks it. What’s more, Crawford fights only once a year since 2020 and releases from 13 months of release.
The fighter can escape from this kind of inaction when they are younger or fight with a smaller opposition, but when they age, and move and fight with someone good, they lose. Maybe Crawford doesn’t care if he will be beaten. He was in advance about one of the reasons why he wants to fight Alvarez so much. It’s money.
Crawford, from Nebrask, can nowhere near the same type of cake fighting at the age of 154, and some guys in this weight class threw him off the fries. Guys such as Bakhram Murtazaliev, Vergil Ortiz Jr., Sebastian Fundor and Serhia Bohachuk would elderly Crawford. If he fights only once a year, he would never fight even half of these guys before he was defeated.
“If Crawford can do this, give this man the title”The largest in history. This is probably motivation for Crawford and his trainer. “Look, if you can beat Canelo, you can go down as one of the historical best fighters in the world.” This is sufficient motivation for every warrior. I just don’t consider it a warrior.
“Canelo is a great blow. Yes, he goes to Quicksand, and this is one thing that Crawford can apply against him. The pressure of a heavier guy. Canelo will be 200 pounds on this ring. So it’s a complex fight, but I will admit Crawford if he pulls it out,” said De la Hoya.
Shopnonn Canelo?
De la Hoya exaggerates with what Crawford would have achieved if he defeated 35-year-old Canelo Alvarez soon. Terenka would not be “the greatest in history” if he defeated Canelo, because the Mexican star has been disappearing over the last three years and has not fought from 2022.
If Crawford defeated this faded version of Canelo, he would only beat a guy who would probably lose many times if he fought with the best 168 pounds instead of avoiding them. Canelo twisted the former super medium-sized weight of David Benavidez and David Morrella, and now he is clearly avoided the best 168-pushers.
Crawford’s victory against Alvarez would only prove what boxing fans already know: Canelo is above the hill. That is why he does not want to fight real killers at the age of 168 and why he avoided Benavidez and Morrell when they were in the division.

Wembley is to witness the massacre: Dubois reveals the “warranty” Chisory
Published
1 hour agoon
March 31, 2025
Ci -tale Dereck Chisora says he “It can guarantee” that he would fight the IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois in Wembley.
Promoter Eddie Hearn doubts whether Dubois will fight Chisory because he has better options for Oleksandr Usyk or Joseph Parker. Since defeating Anthony Joshua to defense against Chisora, he is a substantial drop for Daniel when his popularity is growing.
Fans do not believe that Chisora, a 41-year-old deserves a shot for a shot, considering that he only had to defeat the pretender to Fringe Otto Wallin and 39-year-old Joe Joyce to become a mandatory IBF. There are many more deserving of fighters who evaluate the shot in the title of Master instead of Chisor.
Disaster
Still looking at the face after his last fight with the pretender to Fringe Otto Wallin in February last year, Warhorse Chisora (36-13, 23 KO) claims that it will happen against Dubois, and he is already planning to enter the ring.
It is not clear what meaning it would be for fans, because it is superficial nonsense, trying to introduce cosmetic changes in a useless T sampleo Hide the true nature of a defective product. Placing this struggle for a tumor at the Wembley stadium asks for trouble because it does not sell the stadium 90,000 places.
“I can guarantee that the fight against Daniel [Dubois] It will happen in Wembley, “said journeyman Derek Chisor to Sky Sports Boxing, stating that he would challenge the IBF Daniel Dubois challenge in Wembley, but not finding if there is 90,000 places at the stadium or in the arena of 12,500 people.
“I am now planning the whole entrance to the ring in my head. I do not train yet, but I am working on it, entering, showman.
Chisora says that this will be the last fight of his career, but few fans of boxing are naive enough to believe it. If he is even a bit competitive, he will continue his career as an opponent on the side B for someone.
As long as Millionaire Chisora is used as a headliner, he will continue to fight. They are pensions he is talking about now, sound like a classic “Trip to business” tactics that stores utilize to attract Customers who understand what this term actually means. This is not “getting out of business”, “comes out on business.”
“I don’t see him fight for the world championship in ponderous weight, but who knows him success,” said Eddie Hearn supervisor to Stamping about doubt that Derek Chisora is fighting Daniel Dubois for his heavyweight title IBF.

Claressa Shields “Gwoloat” says that Tank Davis “needs therapy”
Published
3 hours agoon
March 31, 2025
By Frank Bay: In a recent interview with Clarissa Shields, making her best captain an obvious impression, she said that Gervonta “Tank” Davis needs aid after his last performance. This is not a typical boxing advice, as he may need a fresh coach or must be more aggressive, no shields have suggested something taboos.
Shields admitted that she was looking for therapy during her boxing career and suggested that that’s what Gervont needs. This is a completely different aid. Searching for professional therapy can be seen as the main weakness. The expert Gag in the series “The Sopranos” consisted in the fact that Tony Soprano secretly received therapy.
It happened that if the crowd knew that Tony talked to the therapist, he would be hit. For obvious reasons, he may tell the secrets of the crowd, but more importantly, it is perceived by people as a weakness. Especially in Macho sport, such as boxing, it can be a blow to death.
The fighters could hear the tank sees shrinking and think it is finished. But times have changed and mental health is true. Ryan Garcia and Danny Garcia are fresh and older fighters who revealed that they need aid in the field of mental health. The search for aid in the field of mental health in today’s era has become acceptable not only for men in the mainstream of society, but also for men in the Ultra Macho sports sports, such as boxing, where the mental advantage is crucial.
Retirement conversation
Clarissa based her opinion on a conversation of retirement reservoirs. Many fans, media members and people in the boxing industry also noticed that Tank Talking’s retirement was a red flag entering the fight Lamont Roach. Ryan Garcia also gave an opinion that he states that Tanks’ retirement conversation was the reason he lost.
Ryan felt that after retiring from the back of the tanks he was not able to find the equipment he needed when he faced adversity. In sport such as boxing, doubt can be the biggest obstacle of the warrior. Teofimo Lopez, who is not a secret to mental health, once questioned after flawless effort compared to Sandor Martin, where the camera famously caught him, purring him, “whether I still have”.
People used this momentary sign of weakness by Lopez as a sign that he had no chance against Josh Taylor. We saw how it took place. It is expected that the fighters will boast, brag and never admit, even if they feel frail, that they have doubts about their ability to defeat every warrior placed before them.
No warrior will reach the top of sport, not believing in himself. They have pride and ego in abundance. It can also be their biggest trap. They are too proud to seek aid when you need aid.
Tank trouble
Sharks spin around Gervonta when people and fighters witnessed a breakdown in his armor. The tank increased to the top of sport with the aura of invincibility. It was created and sold by the second notable invincible warrior, Floyd Mayweather. However, Mayweather also had problems from the ring and outside.
He had shortbread and even spent time in the pond. It happens that the most notable fighters usually have trouble and diseases at the top. It is demanding to call a warrior who did not get into trouble during their reign. Manny Pacquaio was canceled, Tyson Fury had drug problems, Oscar needed rehabilitation, Sugar Ray Leonard admitted that he had problems with drug abuse, Mike Tyson has no need to explain and so on on the list.
It is complex to remain neat and protected from the falls of life when you are a man. Fame, money, women and all your fresh friends are the easiest ways to lose your eyes with what led you there.
Your God gave skills. And for a tiny 5’2 Gervont Davis from the Baltimore slums he was born with dynamite in both fists. Davis, however, is not foreign to the law. Davis is lucky to be a free man, considering that he was involved in a hit and running. Justice was given, and Tank returned to the ring to earn a lot of money for many people.
Opinions are like holes
Opinions make boxing great. However, there are opinions based on facts and opinions based on narratives, lies or semi -deprived. Tank Davis is a polarizing figure in the boxing community. But I will give you a fact, Tank Davis is a star, puts his ass on seats and draws the attention of media and social media.
He was half the last mega boxing PPV when he defeated Ryan Garcia; This is a fact. The opinion is that PPV was successful only because Ryan Garcia has a huge base of fans on social media. This is for a debate. Maybe true, maybe not. The fact is that his commercial success cannot be taken from him.
The fact is that the tank is the highest level award. Note that I said the prize. It is simply like that, in the same way as Canelo Alvarez, and the fighters constantly call them because they know the day of payment. From opponents of fighters managers to promoters after involved families, everyone wants a piece of tank Davis, because they represent life -changing money for all sides.
The opinion is that Tank Davis is successful because he is a warrior produced. The fact is that his promoter, Floyd Mayweather, is cited as “leave a tank alone” when he asks about opponents about which fans and media ask him for a challenge.
He was protected because he earns a lot of money for many people. The Lamont Roach fight proved to people with opinions, which the tank was actually protected and was exposed to cherry. The fact is that the payment has done nothing to influence his fame, and it can be argued that people are more intrigued to see if the tank can find its size.
Repetition of the rematch?
I’m not here to say what a tank needs or not. In my opinion, of course, I need any aid, but what aid I have no qualifications. Maybe Gervonta mentally checked the boxing and there is no instinct for the aspiration or the killer?
Maybe Davis simply needs technical support for boxing, as if he had to be more aggressive during his fights. Many experts have always claimed that the tank does not throw many blows and lose their rounds because it consists of their power to save it. Was it a free evening or was the tank never so good at the beginning?
Everything to the debate. But Clarissa presents a more poignant, significant question: does Gervont need something much deeper than boxing? It is now popular so that athletes such as Deontay Wilder go to the retreat of Ayahuasca to fight demons, looking for peace and clarity in the known distorted boxing sport.
Wilder claimed that this made him a better person. I will tell you what Tank Davis needs, he needs a victory over Lamont Roach, so call me the captain obvious. I hear from fans that they finally want Davis to stop criticism, fighting the huge names of fans and media he claimed to avoid.
I don’t have to tell you because people know, but when a rematch comes, Tank Davis must silence critics and say a statement by stopping Lamont Roach. Something less than a knockout of a tank Davis, and sharks smell blood.
Another controversial decision, and everything can end for Tank Davis in terms of being boxing. Nothing other than the spectacular performance of the tank and can signal that it’s time to leave. Loss and tank Davis can retire very well and we will never see how it fights. That would be a shame.

Czenepelman or a giant killer? Tyrrell Anthony Herndon tries to overthrow his expectations and upset Deontay Wilder’s return plans
Published
6 hours agoon
March 31, 2025
Veteran Tyrrell Anthony Herndon says that he comes to “present” his skills to overcome the former heavyweight master WBC Deontay Wilder June 27 in the fight at Charles Koch Arena in Wichita, Kansas.
Ci -tale label
Herndon (24-5, 14 KO), dating from San Antonio in Texas, he is marked as “bum” or “journeyman” by some people from the time of announcing that he will be opponent of Wilder (43-4-1, 42 Kos) in what many consider to be the last chance to fight for the fight for a fighting “brown bomber”.
Herndon admits that he believed that the “journeyman” was someone who came from Great Britain and traveled abroad to fight in the USA, not a reliable, but not an outstanding warrior. Hernandez, 37 years antique, is not unique, especially when you look at some guys he lost.
The real problem is that Herndon has never overcome any significant objection during his ten -year professional career. All his wins were against unclear warriors, whom even boxing fans never heard about. So you can argue that his real album entering Wilder Fight 0-5 Instead of 24-5 because it is unverified.
Five Herndon’s failures in his career
– Richard Torrez Jr
-Corey Barlow-2-4-1
– Brandon Glanton
– flying
– Shamarian Snider
When Herndon was against significant warriors, he was flattened in two rounds by Richard Torrez Jr. In 2021, disqualified in three rounds by Brandon Glanton in 2018 and knocked out in one round by Efe Ajagi in 2017.
This is the last Saloon case for 39-year-old Deontaya, who fights the 1-4 record in his five fights and needs a win to keep the hope that he was used as an opponent of Anthony Joshua or one of the other popular weighty scales.
Wilder welcomed the Riyadu season after losing to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang. It is unlikely to be invited without reversing his career. Unfortunately, in the case of a “brown bomber” it will take a lot more than defeating the Hrndom defeatnders to come back.
Nervous dream
“Regardless of whether people say that I shouldn’t be here, I am here. I am a ten -year professional and I lost five times in ten years and I am the ass or who I saw, I am a Jounreyman?” Anthony Herndon said Tyrrell Boxing fansResponding to the criticism he received since he was announced that he was another opponent of Deontay Wilder on June 27.
“For someone who has done it for ten years, I am the ass and journeyman. It’s just crazy. I am glad that I have this platform to show what a journeyman can do. I can’t wait. You walled someone in boxing who fought ten years and lost five times. Shame on you,” said Herndon.
With Richard Torrez Jr. Herndon’s blur in two rounds is arduous not to see him as a warrior at the journeyman level. It doesn’t matter if Herndon wants to accept the label given. He is a ten -year veterinarian without solid victories in his CV, and he lost three times that he tried to accelerate. He was chosen as opponent Deontaya because he is seen as a warrior who thinks of his guides that he can beat.
“We didn’t let the loss [to Richard Torrez Jr.] discourage us, and this led to a great opportunity in my life [fighting Wilder]Herndon said. “I have always had this crazy idea in my head that I would share a ring from Deontay Wilder. People will count me and I know that.
“They think that I come for money. It depends on me whether I present my skills in a significant way on June 27 and take away what they say, is nervous for something that I think I intend to do,” said Herndon.
