Kell Brook believes that the undisputed champion of the super medium weight Canelo Alvarez and the advantage of the power will be too great for Terenka Crawford to beat in the fight on September 13.

The former welterweight master Brook points out that it would be a different story if Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) fought “Medical Master” In medium weight he would have a good chance of winning. But to go with a “good master” at the age of 168, it will be too much.

People’s omitting medium weight risk

Crawford skipped 160 pounds. If he moved to the medium scale and challenged IBF and WBO master, Janibek Alimkhanuly, there is a chance that he would lose with him. Janibek is an even bigger blow than Israil Madrimov, and this guy fought Crawford in August last year.

Crawford’s challenge

“Crawford will have to get up [two divisions and 14 pounds]. I know when I got up Golovkin. There is a substantial difference, especially when it is someone [good]- said Kell Brook Boxing fansDiscussing with which Terence Crawford he is against his clash with Canelo Alvarez.

Initially, Brook did a job against Golovkin, boxing in four rounds. However, the eye injury stopped Kell’s progress in the fifth, forcing to stop when he could no longer deal with GGG pressure. However, Golovkin was youthful 34, with better durability than 35-year-old Canelo.

The Mexican star cannot fight at the same pace as Golovkin against Brook. There is no engine that Golovkin had at the same age. So the chances that Canelo wears Crawford down, just like GGG with Brook, they are slim, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t win. He still has the advantage of strength and experience over Crawford.

If the countryman from Nebrask moved to 168 during the year, when he was out of the ring, he would have a better chance of winning. He did not want to risk the loss and loss of his gigantic payment of $ 50 million.

“Fighting with medium weight, a mediocre world champion is fine. When you fight someone like Canelo, it’s a different kettle of fish. I have to bend towards Canelo, but Crawford is very good.”

Crawford didn’t even fight in medium weight. He moved to 154 in his last fight with Israil Madrimov and did not even dominate him. Called “Little GGG” Madrimov made a number on Crawford’s face and was close to defeating him. Crawford is now moving two additional divisions to fight an even greater hit at Canelo on September 13.

Brook lost to Crawford in 2020 by knockout in the fourth round. This was not the main version of Kell, which Terestsie defeated. It was a tired version after an eye injury after Genadiyu. Crawford would be much more complex to beat Brook when he was at its best, before GGG reached him and ruined what was a promising career.

Brook compares Crawford to Mayweather

“When I look back [Floyd] Mayweather defeated Canelo [in 2013]He was the applicant. Crawford is not really like Mayweather in this respect. In a sense, he puts his feet. He is cut how he approaches, throwing arrows and moves. I think he is a different warrior from Mayweather. Of course, Canelo is another warrior when Mayweather got up – said Brook.

Crawford was a driving force for years ago. When you look back at his fight with Viktor Postol in 2016, his mobility was on a par with the main Mayweather. It was, however, nine years ago. This version of Crawford no longer exists in 2025.

The years were complex to the body of Terence, robbing him at the speed of the feet and most of the speed of the hand he had at the time. Now everything that is left is his IQ and his ambition to earn money and undertaking what some boxing fans are the best warrior in the 168 pounds division.

“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.”
