Terenka Crawford smiled like Cheshire Cat Last Saturday evening, asked if he plans to fight twice with the undisputed master of super medium weight, Canelo Alvarez before retiring. This smile on Crawford’s face said everything. He hopes that Turks Alalshikh will give him two fights with the Mexican star, not just on September 12 in Las Vegas.
Crawford did not beat anyone to fight Canelo. This is a problem. He does not want to go to 168 to test against David Morrell or David Benavidez to show that he is worthy of a huge form that he intends to receive. He fights for what he did in the past in other weight classes, against warriors such as Jeff Horn, Kell Brook, Amir Khan and Julius Indongo.
I would like Turks to turn around and told Crawford that he wants him to go through the fire, to get money from Canelo, fighting with Benavidez and Morrell in the fighting. If he refuses, go to more distinguished fighters who want to work in the fight against Canelo.
Smile $ 100 million
Crawford’s fight to fight Alvarez (63-2-2, 39 KO) is estimated at around $ 100 million. So if he fights him twice, he will retire $ 220 million. Celebrity Net Worth estimates the current Crawford fortune at $ 20 million, most of which of which of the last two fights with Israil Madrimov and Errol Spence.
He would be worth a lot more if he remained busy, fighting three times a year instead of every year. If Terenka did it, the chances of losing repeatedly would be high, because he is not the same warrior he once was from time to 154.
Crawford probably lost his last fight with Israil Madrimov, but the judges gave him a decision. Even Canelo thought Crawford lost, saying that he “lost or a draw” against Madrimov. So, if Buda remained busy, he is expected to fight the killers such as Janibek Alimkhuly, Bakhram Murtazaliev, Jaron Ennis and David Benavidez.
You can understand why Crawford decided to sit on his back side, waiting for the golden Parachute Payrement Payred to fall into his Japan through the forces of gravity without lifting his finger. This is a kind of pathetic way to fight Canelo, especially when more arduous fighters such as David Benavidez are ignored in favor of Crawford.
“Canelo is a” face face “. He is the best warrior for Terenka Crawford. Fight Hub tv, Speaking of your fight with Canelo Alvarez on September 12 in Las Vegas.
Crawford’s fresh habit of speaking in a third person is what some fans perceive as a sign that he became a narcissist, and his wins over the supple opposition went to his head. It seems to be a classic example of a boxer who thinks that he can walk on water after feeding too many cans of tomatoes. They begin to think that they are omnipotence and can do anything.
Does Crawford think he can beat Canelo? I don’t think so. If he did this, he would move to 168 during the free year and would take the best contenders, Diego Paczeco, Christian Mbilli and Oslyys Iglesias to show that he is able to defeat Alvarez.
A target worth $ 200 million?
“On September 12, we’ll see if the weight makes a difference or not. One fight at once,” said Crawford, when he was asked if he was planning to fight Canelo twice.
“No, no. I think William [Scull] He coped well with the neutralization of Canelo power. He just moved a lot. I don’t know, because if you watched the styles that have overcome him [Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Dmitry Bivol]They didn’t move much. They moved a bit, but not as much as William Scull.
“Top, honey. Come,” said Crawford, when it was asked where the victory over Canelo places him among the great all-time in boxing. “Be yourself, that’s all,” said Crawford about what he will take him to defeat Alvarez.
Oscar De La Hoya has questioned the general consensus that Canelo Alvarez is a Mexican boxing legend following his unanimous decision victory over Christian Mbilli.
The 36-year-old reclaimed his WBC title last Saturday, having lost his undisputed super-middleweight crown in his previous outing, against Terence Crawfordin September 2025.
Following that defeat, many wondered whether Canelo could succeed again at world level but, sure enough, he did just that by dethroning Mbilli.
Not only did he claim a convincing points victory, but the Mexican contained Mbilli’s aggression and controlled the majority of their contest with superior technical and defensive skills.
This, however, was not quite enough to satisfy his former promoter, De La Hoya, who has suggested that Canelo’s low punch output made for a largely tedious affair.
As per his semi-regular social media series, Clapback Thursdaythe Hall of Famer also undermined Canelo’s widely-accepted legacy as a Mexican great.
“I’m so f**king tired of 100 punches [being] thrown in a fight with no action whatsoever, and I know the fans are over it.
“We all miss those days of [Marco Antonio] Barrera, [Erik] Morales [and] Julio Cesar Chavez – that’s what Mexican boxing is known for.
“Canelo, do you try to proclaim you’re the best Mexican fighter ever? You couldn’t hold Chavez’ jockstrap. And I can name 10 other Mexican fighters who are way better boxers than you are. And they didn’t sell-out to fight in front of 15 people in Saudi Arabia.”
In fairness, Canelo has never proclaimed to be the greatest Mexican fighter in history, though most would argue he deserves to be considered in an all-time top 10.
A formal press release was issued today announcing the December 19 welterweight title unification between Devin Haney and Liam Paro at San Francisco’s Chase Center, and in anticipation of the meeting with a co-feature of Brian Norman vs Abel RamosHaney shared his excitement for what he expects to be another successful outing to snag some more hardware.
“My resume speaks for itself,” Haney said. “I’ve never been afraid to go into a champion’s backyard and put my record on the line. I went to Australia, took George Kambosos’ belts, and became undisputed lightweight champion of the world. Now I’m bringing another Australian world champion, Liam Paro, into my backyard. This time, I plan to take his belt and become a unified welterweight world champion right here at home. “Oakland is where my story started, and the Bay Area has always been part of who I am. The Valkyries just brought a championship to Chase Center, and on December 19, I plan to keep that championship energy going.
“I made history in Australia. Now it’s time to make history at home.”
Paro, however hopes to upset the odds, knowing he’ll be coming into this fight as a decided underdog.
“Three years ago, I was on the undercard at Chase Center the night Devin fought Regis Prograis,” Paro said. “I said back then that Haney versus Paro rolls off the tongue. Now it’s here. Champion versus champion, two belts on the line, in his backyard.
“I’ve never taken the easy road. I went to Puerto Rico and took the title off Matias in front of his own people. Devin’s a great fighter and I respect that. But I’ve been the underdog plenty of times and I’ve made history before. December 19, I’m coming to unify the division and make more history.”
With the WBO and IBF welterweight world titles on the line, one fight will be heading into the new year halfway to undisputed.
Liam Paro served as supporting cast the last time Devin Haney headlined at Chase Center. Come December 19, he walks into San Francisco carrying the IBF welterweight title, gunning to strip Haney of his WBO strap.
Three years transformed Paro from an undercard face into a headline attraction. He watched Haney shut out Regis Prograis from the locker room in December 2023. Now he commands the marquee, even if getting US fight fans to open their wallets on pay-per-view presents an uphill battle.
“Three years ago, I was on the undercard at Chase Center the night Devin fought Regis Prograis. I said back then that Haney versus Paro rolls off the tongue. Now it is here. Champion versus champion, two belts on the line, in his backyard. I have never taken the easy road. I went to Puerto Rico and took the title off Matias in front of his own people,” Paro stated.
The Australian proved his mettle by snatching the 140-pound crown from Subriel Matias on hostile soil. Richardson Hitchins took it right back six months later, checking Paro’s momentum before mainstream crowds took notice.
The jump to 147 pounds provided the reboot he needed. Three straight wins, capped by a gritty points victory over Lewis Crocker to claim the IBF strap, set the stage for this encounter.
Haney ends a lengthy layoff on home turf. Sitting out more than twelve months makes asking fans to purchase a DAZN PPV against a fighter unknown to mainstream viewers a tough sell. Belts by themselves rarely move the needle at the box office.
Brian Norman Jr. takes on Abel Ramos in the ten-round co-feature. Norman dropped his WBO belt to Haney last November and must now accept undercard placement on his conqueror’s bill.
Paro earned his position the hard way. December 19 decides if his punch output can upset the hometown favorite or if Haney cruises behind his jab.
