Teddy Atlas claims that the heritage of Canelo Alvarez was “dent” thanks to his defeat against Terenka Crawford last week. He states that the only way Canelo (63-3-2, 39 KO) can continue her career is to “fix evil” by humming the defeat with Crawford, if possible.
Of course, the failure hurts Alvarez’s heritage. Losing with an older, inactive warrior who started his career in Lightweight puts a great dent of Canelo’s popularity towards fans. What makes it even more meaningful is that Crawford was leaving the flawless performance 13 months earlier against Israil Madrimov on August 3, 2024 in a fight, for which he deserved many fans to which he deserved.
The combination of all these things suggests several things:
- Canelo is a faded warrior: I believe that Alvarez has been able to hide his faded form in the last three years, fighting the lower -level rivalry, Jaime Munguia, Edgar Berlanga and John Ryder.
- Bud is also beating: The way Crawford fought with Canelo would probably lose to many, if not all, from 168-pounds, including fighters in 160 and 154. I don’t think Crawford could best stand Christian Mbilli, Oslyys Iglesias, Lester Martinez, or Hamzah Sheeraz at the age of 168. It is too feeble, diminutive, diminutive, and you can’t stand your land and fight. He would have to do it to beat these fighters.
The rematch is not worth money
Even if Canelo wanted or Turks Alalshikh would be ready to finance a rematch? Finally, it would not be worth it because of the huge bags that Alvarez and Crawford (42-0, 31 KO) would probably expect.
When it comes to performance, it is not worth the money they have earned recently. It cannot be said that Crawford gave a performance worth $ 50 million last week, and Canelo was not close to the level of the warrior who received $ 150 million. Turki would be better to go in a different direction than to waste money on the second fight of Canelo-Crawford, which does not meet the noise.
Crawford’s future “sink or swimming”
Fans would be more interested in seeing them if they fought fighters, where they would be perceived as weaker. Throw Crawford in sink or swim Situation against one of these fighters:
- David Benavidez
- Dmitriry Bivol
- Christian Milli
- Artur Beterbiev
Placing Crawford with one of the three would be like feeding a package of hungry wolves. I imagine a script in which these guys had ears, constantly attacking Crawford, chasing him around the ring in probably unilateral fights. It would survive the strongest. Delicate are chosen by robust ones.
There would be so much drama and emotions in these fights, and the fans wondered if Crawford would get it or not.
Fresh challenges for the weaker
With Canelo he would probably be weaker at the moment, just fighting Hamzah Sheeraz. Although he looked like Crawford, I saw how to scrub Sheeraz is a favorite. Another option for Canelo would be to adapt him to the winner of the rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Bennem.
You can’t connect Canelo with any of the five best pretenders in 168 and expect that he will come out of the fight with his hand raised in my respect. I think that for Alvarez it would not end well if you fit him with the best guys, those for any reason, he decided not to fight in recent years.
“He lost to a guy [Terence Crawford] who won his first time in 135 and was inactive. It does his heritage, “Teddy Atlas said on his Podhost canalSpeaking of Canelo Alvarez losses from Terenka Crawford a week ago.
The defeat revealed Canelo, throwing delicate at him and his career. The argument has strengthened that some fans have alvareza He was never as good as he was forced. He was a warrior who made controversial decisions in his fights with Gennadiy Golovkin (1 and 2) and Erislanda Lara.
Crawford made a minimum to get a decision and was not as impressive as Lara and GGG in the fighting. The difference is that the set of judges gave Terenca a decision, but not these fighters.
“Does he want to fix badly? Does he worry about his heritage?” Atlas said, asking if Canelo pressed on a rematch with Crawford. “He drops a cut from what we had.
It would not be the first time Canelo decided not to reveal the opponent. After he lost to these two warriors, he never fought with them to encourage his failures:
- Dmitriry Bivol [May 2022]
- Floyd Mayweather Jr [September 2013]
Was Lara more impressive than Crawford?
Some fans would add Erislanda Lara to the list of warriors who defeated Canelo from the controversial fight on July 12, 2014. The judges gave Canelo a 12-round decision divided, but many people, including me, thought that Erisland was a winner.
Style of fighting the hit
The way Lara performed in this fight was probably better than Terenka Crawford in her 12-round unanimous decision on Canelo. In my opinion, Lara looked like a more impressive advantage over the main Canelo than Crawford, who mainly ran around the ring, winning the rounds, using the impact style.
Unlike this, Erislanda stood in front of Canelo, stabbing him many times, blocking and tipping his return of fire. Cuban Lara did not turn out to be fear and did not resort to Alvarez, which further distinguishes his results from how Crawford fought. These two fights show how subjective score can be.
