Canelo Alvarez will either retire before he faces Crawford or immediately, despite the ongoing contract with Turka Alalshikh.

A friend and former on-off promoter Eddie Hearn believes that Alvarez’s days in sport are counted.

Canelo signed four fights with the Alalshikha Riyadh season at the beginning of this year. However, one attack, Hearn sees how up-to-date it consumes.

The head of Matchroom believes that the unquestionable defense of the title of super medium weight against Crawford may never happen when problems with the staging persist.

However, Hearn claims that each reversal will be associated with performance, because the powers of Mexican Supergows disappear quickly.

In his last fight with William Scull, the 34-year-old could not take off his blows and work on a unanimous decision. He appeared to books with the smallest number of connected blows thrown into the competition of twelve rounds.

“A bit, yes,” said Hearn Fight Hub TV. “This is not only the fact that he could not cut off the ring.

“I just feel that time, age. Canelo is amazing, not only because of his ability and what he achieved, but also the fact that he still wants to train these training camps and these fights. But I just feel that this desire may disappear a little.

“Not because of his love of boxing, but only because of his age and life. Don’t get me wrong, Crawford’s fight certainly started him. But I really watched this fight (Scull), thinking that I wouldn’t be surprised if he retired and not fighting Crawford.

“I don’t think he will want to lose to Crawford, a much smaller guy, just because he is at the end of the road. But the fight is so large and the money is so great that he will have to take it.”

If Canelo continued for Crawford, Hearn added: “I bet he is withdrawing after this fight. Why would you continue? You fight Crawford, who is still for Canelo Alvarez to fight?

“Maybe David Benavidez, but the size of Benavidez. Will Benevidez return to 168?

“The same again. I don’t think Canelo will want to lose to Benevidez because he is not a warrior. There is a lot of pride for these guys.”

Canelo vs crawford

Alalshikh has Canelo vs. Crawford scheduled for September 13 in the place to be determined. In the stunning schedule of changes, Alalshikh has already changed the date, place and promoter of the event.

The winner will come out as the undisputed master. Alvarez reportedly replaced the blows with Chris Eubank Jr. In London before the rematch with Dmitry Bivol in a airy weighty weight, and two fights remained in his contract.

Hearn does not believe that a four -person owner of titles will be so far away. A man from Essex becomes the second promoter in a few days, who pours chilly water onto the Canelo career.

Bob Arum from Top Rank said that Alvarez is no longer witty and is going through fights, and does not engage the opponent.

They both believe that Canelo’s next fight will have a key impact on his future.
