Danny Garcia claims that the power of Terence Crawford will not be enough at 168, to have a chance to defeat Canelo Alvarez for his unquestionable championships with a super medium weight on September 12. Garcia notes that Crawford’s power “did not raise” to 154 in her fight with Israil Madrimov on August 3 last year. He says that when Crawford now jumps two weight classes to 168 to fight one of the biggest strokes in the division, Canelo, it will be “arduous”.
Crawford’s decision, in order not to get up and take one or two melodies in the Super Middle Wweight to prepare for Alvarez, will make his work more arduous. He decided to play safely, sit down and wait for a gigantic fight against withdrawals, instead of risking your skin in front of one of the rivals. What does this say about what the real goal of Terenka was to fight Canelo? He says it is for heritage, but his actions suggest that it is for cash.
168 Power deficit?
“I rate Crawford’s last performance when he went to 154 against Madrimov. I feel like his [Bud] The power did not reach so much until 154. So I feel that 168 is arduous – said Danny Garcia WarriorDoubting that Terenka Crawford has enough pop in its shots to be a threat to defeating Canelo Alvarez on September 12.
Crawford’s power did not raise from 147 to 154 in its last fight. He was never a substantial blow, even at the age of 147 and He looked frail in the junior of the medium weight against Israil Madrimov. Some of them are an older age that bred an ugly head. When you are 40 years antique like Crawford and you only fight once a year from 2020. “Little GGG” Madrimov knocked with Crawford chips with his right hands, hitting his head many times. At the end of the fight, Crawford’s face looked like he was hit by a truck. Unlike this, Madrimov looked like he wasn’t even in battle.
One win to rule them all?
“If it pulls it up, you must put it there Three of the best all time. This means he [Crawford] All four lanes in three divisions are unified. Going up all weight classes to defeat Canelo, “Danny said. “If he wins this fight, you must put it in the top three. But it will be a steep, steep hill to climb. It will be arduous.”
You can’t call Crawford “three of all time” if it causes Canelo’s nervousness because he is exaggerated and is not close to his best career at that moment. If Crawford defeated the Canelo version in 2017, which fought the controversial draw against Gennada Golovkin in their first fight, you can put it in the first 30 or 40 of all time, but not in the first three. At that time, 35-year-old GGG was unveiled. Canelo was 27 years antique.
In order for Crawford to be in the top three of all time, he would have to defeat these warriors:
– David Benavidez – Dmitryry Bivol – David Morrell – Artur Beterbiev – Jai Ottaia
You do not get the highest three places of all time, beating an antique barn like Canelo, and then you say you are one of the best? Danny must slip if he thinks everything he needs is that Crawford defeats Canelo to be among the great all time. It will not even be in the top 50, if he overcomes faded antique Canelo.
“If he can do it, he praises everything, but I think it will be too much for him. He is a naturally bigger guy [Canelo]. You’re talking about a guy [Crawford] who started his career at the age of 135, fighting at the age of 168. It’s crazy. When he begins to be hit with these bombs, he will be like “Whoa” – said Garcia.
If Crawford moved to 168 and got a few tuning fights to show what he can do, he could have a chance to beat Canelo. He should have participated in a few quick fights with pretenders to super medium -sized weight, Oslyys Iglesias and Christian Mbilli, before fighting with Canelo. If Crawford was physically in one piece after these matches, the fans would give him a better shot in winning with Alvarez. What Terenki does will raise by 14 pounds after a frail performance in its debut in 154 against Israil Madrimov, does not look good for him. He will still get a $ 100 million Paydation, which is probably the only reason why he conducted a campaign to fight Canelo. But when it comes to victory, I do not see this happens, even in relation to this washed version of the Mexican star.
Lost mobility
“Crawford likes to fight,” said Danny, asked if Terenka would be Canelo’s boxing, as he did against Viktor Postole in 2016 at 140. “He can make it easier, but he just likes to fight. That’s why he is sometimes hit. He hits and presses this pressure.”
Crawford no longer has the same mobility as he had when he fought with Viktor postol at the age of 28. Bud is going to be 38 years antique on September 28. He is not an applicant that almost a decade ago, when he fought with postol, until he is packing up to the 180s of 180s, he would not be airy enough to move.
Another day, another Zuffa signee losing his belt for shirking his responsibilities. WBO president Gustavo Olivieri announced that the sanctioning body has denied middleweight champion Denzel Bentley’s appeal for a voluntary defense, giving him 24 hours to commit to facing mandatory challenger Yoenli Hernandez.
Bentley (22-3-1, 18 KO) was the beneficiary of Janibek Alimkhanuly’s failed drug test and subsequent emigration to the super middleweight division, as the move elevated the interim belt he’d claimed against Endry Saavendra in April to the real deal. That came with conditions, namely a mandated showdown with Hernandez (11-0, 9 KO) that failed to produce a a contract.
As for who’ll fight Hernandez for it, Vito Mielnicki Jr sits behind him at no. 2, followed by an otherwise-occupied Tim TszyuMichael Zerafa (lmao), and Fiodor Czerkaszyn. We’ll let you know as soon as an enterprising bachelor steps up.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum is back on the scene with a new knee! And now that he’s getting around again, he was able to catch up with Fight Hub TV to give his perspective on what’s been going on in the boxing business as of late, particularly as it pertains to Zuffa Boxing who appear to be in a state of flux. Check out what he had to say below!
Arum on Zuffa’s place in boxing landscape
“When you look at Zuffa, they are hoping to do what they’re doing with Saudi money and the Saudis have poured a lot of money into the sport and for a while were backing Zuffa, so Zuffa felt emboldened to offer big [money] to good fighters like Shakur Stevenson. Now, apparently the Saudis, Turki and Sela have gotten the word from up high in Saudi Arabia, ‘hey, this money is not going to be unlimited, you’ve got to cut down,’ or there’s no money — I don’t know what they’ve told them.
“So the Saudis are clearly pulling back and who knows if they’re going to be involved in boxing after this year. They’ve already, apparently, sold Ring Magazine to DAZN. So, if the Saudi money isn’t there, Zuffa is not going to spend its own money to promote fights because they have announced to their shareholders that they would not do that. And if they start doing it, then they leave themselves open to a major shareholder suit.
“So, again, we have to see what’s going to happen. There’s no animosity, people are doing what they feel is best for them and that’s business. How this all turns out, we’re going to have to see next year and the years after that.”
On whether he thinks Zuffa has done a good job thus far
“What does it mean to have done a good job? If somebody gave me a barrel of money to put on fights, would I be doing a good job? Sure. But anybody would be doing a good job. I mean, give Oscar this kind of money, give Eddie this kind of money.
“So it’s not a question of a good job, the question is can they make matches having a limited budget that is limited by the financial viability of the fight, not what somebody from the outside is pouring into it. That’s doing a big, good job — making it work for them, for the public, for the fighters without the fighters outside help putting in all this money without any way to get it back.”
On Shakur splitting with Zuffa before one fight together
“Once they realized there was no money coming from the Saudis to fund a $15M fight deal, then what do you do? If you can get out of that contract, you get out of it. Did they get out, did it cost them any money to get out? I don’t know. But, again, to pay Shakur $15M…financially it’s not viable. So, it is what it is. And once the Saudis really left the message that they got the word from The Boss that this unlimited tap is going to stop, it was bound to happen.”
On the Shakur vs Devin fight falling apart
“The fight fell apart, but essentially it fell apart is because DAZN had promised [Devin] Haney a certain amount of money, Zuffa had promised Shakur a certain amount of money, and it wasn’t a match because that money didn’t exist in the fight that they would have…Would the fight have justified the money being put up? Because otherwise nobody wants to break their ass doing a fight, promoting a fight, and ending up facing an absolute possibility that you’re going to lose money.”
On his prediction for the business once the Saudi money evaporates
“Looking at the past when this happened, and in boxing it happens all the time, the market then settles and fighters fight for what’s available and we get some very good fights that still go on and life continues. But how it’s going to come out after this, where we had so much money being put into the sport not existing, how is the sport going to continue? It’s going to continue, but how is it going to continue, I don’t know.
“Remember, [Al] Haymon came in when he had that deal with the mutual fund with hundreds of millions of dollars, and all he accomplished was pissing it away. So, again, I have the experience and I’ve been around enough not to say definitively what’s going to happen because I don’t know like nobody else does. I have an idea but again, it’s just an idea and not worth talking about. All I know is that the sport will continue, there will be great fights being made. How everybody will be compensated remains to be seen but that’s in the future.“
On Ryan Garcia saying he’s going to fight Floyd Mayweather for the WBC title
“Will people be interested in it? I don’t know. I know Floyd [Mayweather] needs the money ‘cause he’s pissed away tons of the money that he made. I mean, he blames Haymon for that, he blames this for that, but ultimately I blame him for pissing it away. Will Garcia vs Mayweather generate money? Will it generate enough money to satisfy these guys? I don’t know. I think there will be limited interest in a fight where you have a young guy at the peak of his boxing prowess fighting an old man, which Mayweather has now become.”
On the Eddie Hearn vs Dana White beef over promoting Fury vs AJ, and Hearn insisting White can’t be involved
“Well, that’s right. Eddie [Hearn] is correct. Frank [Warren] and I have a contract with [Tyson] FuryEddie has a contract with [Anthony] Joshua. Dana has a contract with nobody. But if Dana wanted to be involved with the fight, be my guest. I mean, the money is the money. The Saudis are putting up the bulk of the money in that fight. They’ll do a good gate, get back some of it. But again, what do I care? What should anybody care?”
