Terenka Crawford calls his clash with Canelo Alvarez “Generational fight “ What he believes that he will “talk for years” when they meet on September 13 in Las Vegas. Fans don’t see it that way.

Fans do not agree: fight “junk food”

This fight is seen as junk food and will be forgotten immediately. Alvarez and Crawford are senior. Casuals, who perceive this fight as similar to Sugar Ray Leonard, moving to medium weight to fight Marvin Hagler, do not know what they are talking about. Crawford is not as talented as Sugar Ray, and Canelo is not at Hagler’s level who fought Leonard.

They consider it strange, from Crawford (41-0, 31 KO), who approaches several divisions and received an immediate shot against Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO). This is not a fight for which he asked the audience from Canelo. They did not press the Mexican star to fight another smaller warrior, especially the senior one approaching 40.

Some fans perceive this as a way to avoid complex fights that want to see how it took place against David Benavidez, Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiew. The 168-Funt division was emptied with Benavidez and David Morrell, passing to 175. What was left in the top four did not show interest in the fight. He would prefer to face Crawford.

“I wanted to go from 147 to 168 just because I wanted to challenge myself, and this is joy,” said Crawford Ring magazine About why he decides to go to Super Middle weight to get a elementary title with the undisputed champion Canelo Alvarez on September 13.

Crawford omits the role in which he raises for money, because it is not really a challenge. If he were about it, he would move to 168 and take the best pretenders who are waiting in line for a well -deserved title.

If it was a challenge, Crawford would show that he is worthy, beating these contenders in Super Middle Wweight

“It’s a struggle for heritage. This is generations [money] fight. It will talk about it for years, “said Crawford.” I feel that I got speed above Canelo. I got coverage. It may be size, power [youth and toughness]But I got better skills. Everyone says: “Man, you are crazy.” Yes. All my life I have fought with people greater than me. I’ve always been maneuvering and I always went to the top – said Crawford.

Terenca disappearing skills, Canelo fuel tank

The skills are equal. Crawford’s last fight with Israil Madrimov showed that he was qualified and had to rely on his better engine to win a narrow decision.

Madrimov had a better technical ability than Crawford, but allowed him to fight in championship rounds. Israil still deserved to win based on his more complex, cleaner shots in the eighth round. However, Terenka was a page A, so it was obvious why he won. I had it 8-4 for Madrimov. He looked like the GGG version in the era and could not miss his right hands.

Canelo has sufficient technical ability to win, but its fuel tank is the only problem that could stop him. If it disappears after four rounds, as we saw in his last three fights, Crawford can enter and steal him in master rounds, as he did against Madrimov.

“Crawford, though great, is effective in a welterweight to 168,” said Chris Mannix.

That’s true. Crawford is basically a welterweight, an senior one that may not have enough to defeat Alvarez. Fighting once a year from 2020, it is doubtful whether Terenka will be edged enough to beat Canelo. He looked like he lost a lot of fight with Errola Spence Jr. In 2023, in the expression of a 13-month dismissal to challenge Madrimov for the title of WBA Junior Middle Wich on August 3, 2024.
