Claim of Terence Crawford “TOP 3 of all time” after Canelo Fight Ignitites Gniew: Fans accuse him of ignorance and disrespect for boxing legends

Comment of Terenka Crawford on his victory over Canelo Alvarez, winning him the highest place on the list of all time for a pound for a pound, a debate of this topic, and many of them think He is completely uneducated about the history of this sport.
(Loan: Zach Delgado/Matchroom)
Historical naivety
They believe that Crawford does not know about past great ones, so he naively thinks that the victory at Canelo is enough to put him in front of the fighters who did much more in their career. Great from the past did not only have two good names on their CVs, as Crawford does.
They had records full of powerful talent. You can’t blame Terenka for not knowing the past of great fighters. Crawford is not the only vigorous warrior who is not aware of the history of this sport.
In an interview with Manouk AkopyanCrawford (41-0, 31 KO) pointed out that he would be up with three weight classes when he challenges Canelo (62-2-2, 39 KO) for what he predicts will be the undisputed championship of the super medium medium average on September 13.
It would be impressive if Crawford defeated Canelo to become three unquestioned champion. Still, it would be arduous to put it high because of the constrained CV.
Compared to the fighters from the past who fought with the excellent opposition throughout their career, the record of Terence is almost completely idle of the elite opposition. He won with Errol Spence, but not much more in his CV would suggest that he belonged to the top 3 or in the top 50 pounds for the pound of all time.
The best pound fighters from the past
Sugar Ray Robinson
Muhammad Ali
Oscar de la Hoya
Roberto Durán
Henry Armstrong
Willie Pep
Pernell Whitaker
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Manny Pacquiao
Roy Jones Jr.
Sugar Ray Leonard
Julio César Chávez
Jack Johnson
Jack Dempsey
Ezzard Charles
Archie Moore
Sandy Saddler
Ricardo López
Carlos Monzón
Bernard Hopkins
This is only a tiny list of fighters who have compiled better records than Crawford. Even if Terenka is experiencing her best Canelo on September 13, it would be crazy to place him over these fighters.
Illusions or reality?
It’s okay that the warrior has confidence, but when their assessment goes overboard, they are unhappy, illusive and do not contact reality. Crawford’s inflated sense of his achievements has been around for years.
So it’s not just a up-to-date thing. He consistently assessed himself at the top and so far no one paid attention to him, because he never fought with a significant opposition.
At this point, Alvarez is widely perceived as he lost his ambition and fighting only for money. Crawford is a bit on the same boat. He also does not take risks. It seems that he focused on obtaining the largest payment day, not fighting the most powerful pretenders. Canelo is the largest payment day for Nebraska Native.
Canelo currently has three lanes, but he is a favorite to pick up the last remaining lane against the IBF 168-LB William Scull on May 3. Crawford fought only once in 154 after passing from 147 in August last year. So it is arduous to call him a younger average weight, because experience in this weight class is constrained to one fight with Israil Madrimov.
Crawford did not want to heated up in 168 before he called Canelo to the lanes in September, but he could. It was his choice and decided to sit and wait.

Muratalla target list: Lomachenko first, Keyshawn never? Their strategy emphasizes the lack of trust

Raymond Muratalla (23-0, 17 Kos) explained that he wants IBF Lightweight Vasily Lomachenko champion after winning the momentary version of this title last Saturday evening, defeating Zara Abdullaeva (20-2, 12 Kos) by a 12-round unanimous decision at the Sanchanga Arena in San Diego in California.
Muratalla looked like he was shot by a paralyzing Dart pistol after a fight, when he asked if he would like to challenge the delicate master WBO Keyshawn Davis. At that moment he looked like variable eyes as if he wanted to escape from the intelligence session, but he was imprisoned. In this appearance, it can be said that Muratalla does not want to fight Keyshawn.
Keyshawn Last?
It seemed that Raymond was got stuck in one gear All night, unable to switch to higher equipment to get a knockout he needed to make a statement. Muratalla won the results of 119-109, 119-109 and 118-110. However, the fight looked much closer than those very sloping results. I had it 115-113 for Muratalla. Yes, he won, but it was close and did not look like the world champion. There was more Guard.
Asked if he would be open to a challenging warrior from the highest ranked, Keyshawn Davis for his delicate title WBO, a friend from the Muratalli team said: “You are still hugging Keyshawn. Shakur is Shakur. It’s Shakur. It’s Shakur. [Gervonta] Davis, he is [Keyshawn] The weakest of all fighters. We chose Davis, Shakur, and then Keyshawn. “
So, if this plan succeeds, the next three muratalla fights will be these:
- Shakur Stevenson
- Gervonta Davis
- Keyshawn Davis
None of the first two fights on the charts of Muratalla’s team can happen in this life. He says that Muratalla saves Keyshawn at the end, because before she goes to other fights that will not be contradictory to other fights that will not contradict other fights. Muratalla will fight other warriors in his two competitions, not Shakur or Tank. He will probably fight someone like Abdullaev in terms of talent. Keyshawn will disappear a long time before Muratalla finally fights with him, which works well for him.
Goal: Loma
“I got a Lomachenko. Then this is the main goal. Whoever does not matter then,” said Raymond Muratalla to media Asked who he wants to fight next. Asked if he would like to fight the WBO Lightweight champion, Keyshawn Davis, it was impossible.
“That would suck, but what can I do?” Muratallla said, responding to the saying that Lomachenko could retire. “Every time they configure him, I will be ready.”

No heavyweight has ever organized the world championship five times. However, one legend tried to demand her in the past.
Judging by his last offer, Evander Holyfield is no longer five -time weighty world champion Moniker.
Between 2010 and his pension in 2011, Holyfield was the owner of the title in the Booker T.
Holyfield won the four most significant division crown in 1990–1999. The highest triumphs of the division took place after a very successful run in the circuitous weight.
One of the boxing legends, “The Real Deal”, became undisputed in both categories.
But because he continued his career much longer than he should have at the end of 2000, Holyfield was obsessed with the recovery of any titles, that he swore that he would never retire until he became a five -time heavyweight champion.
In 2010, at the age of 47, Holyfield defeated Frans Both to become a modest owner of titles. This was by no means another level of his previous achievements. However, another Holyfield media sent to World Boxing News promoting his subsequent fights against Sherman Williams and Brian Nielsen found the opposite.
His team staged Holyfield as a five -time master, despite the fact that the rest of the sport did not see it at that time.
WBN changed several press messages from PR Holyfield for its later action.
Fortunately, the boxing legend does not see her in this way after his latest post put it all to bed. Perhaps he was not a man insisting on the claim.
“Hi a follower, just reminding why this” ring says everything. I am the only boxer who was a four-time heavyweight champion around the world, “said Holyfield.
“That is why I am called” a real offer ” – this is my nickname.”
Talking earlier with World Boxing News, Holyfield outlined, which is what means the most.
“My goal was to be like Muhammad Ali. I achieved things that were told to me when I was adolescent.
Holyfield added which achievements stand out the most: “I would say that creating the Olympic team,”84 Olympic team in Los Angeles. “
“I was one of the twelve members. We had nine gold medalists, one silver and one bronze. I was a bronze medalist.
“This achievement is so high with me, because the fact is that it is an amateur, not money.
“You just want to represent your country, so the fact that I could do which he gave me a up-to-date start as a professional.
“My approach has a lot to do with my mother’s ups and downs. My mother wanted me to be better than her, so every time I was talking about my career, I always said that my mother was the one who led me.
“She said that my approach would take me much further than my talent. This is because everyone will break, but when you have a bad attitude, you don’t have so many chances to come back.
“So if you look at my career, you’ll see that I had many shortcomings – but because I had a good attitude, I had the opportunity to succeed.”

Boxing results: Fernando Martinez overcomes Iok in a rematch, but a wide results card collects fire on social media

WBA Super Flyweight [115-pound] Master Fernando Martinez (17-0, 9 KO) used his own Marciano-Essque Nonstop Clubbing Punches, to defeat the former world champion in four leaves of Kazuto Iok (31-4-1, 16 KOS) in a 12-round unanimous decision in the rematch last Saturday evening at the Ota-Cita junior high school in Tokyo, Japan.
Like their first fight in July last year, the fight did not interrupt from the first bell. 33 -year -old Martinez used his exit of a high impact to impress judges, initiating the action all the time. It was there that 35 -year -old Iok lost the fight. He allowed Martinez to be an aggressor.
Martinez pressure
Results: 114-113, 114-112 and 117-110. There was a lot of criticism in social media on the part of boxing about 117-110 for Martinez, because they felt that judge Robert Hoyle won it too wide, taking into account how was the closing of the razor. Some fans perceived this as a sign of biased on Hoyle. He probably thought, however, that the difference was the difference that constantly aggressive, more tough and more arrows in every round. It was tough to ignore how Martinez always connected with greater blows. Iok focused too much on counteracting his weaker shots and did not attack the way he needed.
Iok shot the tenth round of knocking down, dropping Martinez with his left hook. However, the Argentine Martinez returned by storm, attacking the beah with a shot after dropping. He still attacked the Japanese stars of the storm in rounds 11 and 12. Iok seemed in this style, encouraging Fernando to fight him to his fingers in the last round. It was strange. Martinez was becoming better than Kazuto from his close range Rocky marciano in style Kolbiskie blows, but he still wanted to take.
The future of York
There is no point in matching the trilogy between them, because Martinez has already shown that his high -volume style will be too huge for the aging Iok warrior. At the age of 35, Iok must consider retiring because he could not defeat other masters, Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez and Phumelele Cafu, at 115.
Iok could go to Bantamweight and try to rejuvenate his career. However, his lack of power would be even more tough for him in this weight class. To succeed against stronger punchers, Iok must attack more and this is not his style.
