Crawford claims that the greatness of all time
Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) is not seen as great, because he never beat one elite warrior during his 17-year professional career and looked terrible in his last fight, receiving a decision against Israil Madrimov.
“Of course, why wouldn’t I have?” Terenca Crawford said to Ring champs The YouTube channel, asked if he would put himself in the “biggest warrior” if he defeated Canelo Alvarez on September 13. “When you talk about all other warriors who would do or achieve something close.
If Crawford defeated Canelo, he would still not be near the “biggest warrior in history” because his tender CV is not registered. He fights with Canelo about an exaggerated Hill, who is not the best warrior at the age of 168. We do not know who is the best warrior in the super medium -sized ward, because Alvarez decided to avoid the best guys.
David Benavidez and David Morrell finally gave up waiting to fight him and moved to 175. The best who remained would have a perfect shot in defeating the Mexican star. Both Benavidez and Morrell would be joyful to return to 168 if Canelo agreed to fight them. They both beat him and would do the same with Crawford.
Bighters Canelo beat to collect 168 passengers
– Callum Smith: WBA and WBC
– Billy Joe Saunders: WBO
– Caleb plant: IBF
– William Scull: He regained the title of IBF
“When you say Sugar Ray Robinson. He never went up three weight classes and did not fight the undisputed champion,” said Crawford, who is better than Sugar Ray. “The first to vote Hall of Famer and one of the best Mexican fighters who left Mexico,” said Crawford with 35-year-old Canelo.
Crawford does not say that he would lose to the fighters in 160 and 168 if he was obliged to overcome the best talents in these weight classes before he would question Canelo for his undisputed average championship. Terenka receives an undeserved title he did not earn against Alvarez. If he had to defeat fighters at the age of 160, such as Janibek Alimkhanuly or in 168, like the Caleb plant, he would lose.
Prime Sugar Ray vs. Shoptorn Canelo
If Sugar Ray Robinson received preferential treatment that Crawford was given, he would move three divisions to capture world titles, especially if the master was washed. Put the Prime Sugar Ray with a larger 35-year-old warrior Over-the-Hill, he would win. Crawford is in a great situation, fighting with Shopnnorn Canelo, who looked extremely bad in his three three fights with William Scull, Edgar Berlang and Jaime Mungui.
“This is a difference when you talk about weight growth and who you fight with. You can say that I went to three classes in weight,” said Terenka, saying what he will achieve, if he moves from 154 to 168. Crawford presents himself as a warrior at 147 pounds, not a 154-pound guy, even though he moved in last year and captured the title of WBA.
The last decrease in Canelo’s results
Moving to the fight with 35-year-old Canelo, who is perceived by fans as Washed, is not the same as Crawford, who moved to 168 to face the real killer, who is in their splendor. The division is empty from talent when David Benavidez and David Morrell moved out. But Crawford would still be over his head, fighting with Christian Mbilli, Oslyys Iglesias and Caleb Plant. This is just a miniature list. He would also have problems fighting with other super medium -medium wagons. Youth, size and power of warriors such as Edgar Berlanga, Jaime Munguia and Hamzah Sheeraz would be a pure problem for Crawford.
“This is joy in this. Everyone wonders how I intend to do in 168. They don’t know. How can they say what will happen to a person who is nothing,” said Crawford, when some fans think that Canelo cannot hurt, but a Mexican star may hurt him.
Fans have a great idea about how Crawford will do in 168. They are able to extrapolate with how he made a move to 154, winning the fight against the razor with Israil Madrimov. Crawford looked aged, tender and tender in this fight. Now it will be a year older, conducting two divisions to fight Canelo. We already know how Crawford will work.
Is Crawford only fighting for Payday?
“I don’t know what they are talking about,” said Crawford, when he said fans think he was just fighting Canelo for payment and later retired. “I see that I’m fighting Canelo and this is the only thing about it. I don’t think about anything else than that.”
The reason why fans believe that Crawford is fighting only for money:
- Crawford, not wanting to prove in 168
- Sitting inactive for a year, waiting for the fight against Canelo
- Not planning to stay in 168. The fight is one -time for Crawford.
“No, not now. Why should I think about suspending them during the fight? I am blessed,” said Terency, responding to the interviewer saying that he is “great” to his age.
Of course, Crawford counts on a lucrative rematch from Canelo if he wins or if the competition is close. Even if he doesn’t get a rematch, he could earn a lot of money in the fight for 168 or 154 against the killers in these weight classes.
Crawford’s hope will be a rematch from Canelo. If not, it would be a kennel options to earn as much money as possible before retiring:
– David Benavidez
– Dmitryry Bivol
– Artur Beterbiev
– Sebastian Fundor
– Jaron “Boots” Ennis
– Vergil Ortiz
– Conor Benn
– Chris Eubank Jr.
– Tim Tsyzyu
Crawford would lose to most of these fighters, especially if he decides to remain inactive all year round before the fight.

Oleksandr Usyk has shared his reaction to Anthony Joshua‘s dramatic knockout victory against Kristian Prenga.
Usyk nearly suffered his own shock defeat in May when he was pushed to the limit by kickboxing star Rico Verhoevenand two months on it was nrw teammate Joshua’s turn to come close to a massive upset loss that would have stunned the heavyweight division.
The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.
Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.
Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.
“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.
It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.
“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”
Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.

Posting on social mediaPaul praised AJ for earning the win, after returning to action following the tragic car crash he was involved in at the end of last year which took the lives of his two close friends.

Anthony Joshua may have earned a knockout win over Kristian Prenga but the fight certainly didn’t unfold as most people expected.
Joshua was facing the Albanian in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, and it looked like a massive upset could be on the cards when he was dropped twice in the opening round.
‘AJ’ was able to recover and went on to secure a second round knockout victory to prevent the shock lossseemingly paving the way for the battle against Tyson Fury later this year.
One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.
“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.
“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.
“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.
“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”
The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
