Promoter Oscar de la Hoya doubts that Terenka Crawford will be able to defeat the united champion of super medium weight, Canelo Alvarez when he moves on two divisions to challenge him for his lanes on September 13. De la Hoya states that “a good little man” “never beat a good large man.”

Fighters who defeated larger guys:

  • Sugar Ray Robinson
  • Roy Jones Jr.
  • Sugar Ray Leonard
  • Manny Pacquiao

Too much jump?

Crawford (41-0, 31 KO) is achieving this feat, because he will basically move three classes of weight after a delicate performance in his debut in August 154 against Israil Madrimov. This fight was close enough to be a draw, but the judges gave it to Crawford and you can understand why. He was a page A.

Crawford’s reluctance to fight in 160 or 168 to remain busy and prove that he is another reason why he does not intend to defeat Canelo. Terenka apparently paired with warriors in these weight classes and knows that it would be a bad idea to compete with one of these killers before he started fighting Canelo.

“I have been in this game for so long and I like to say that I am a historian. There has never been a good little man who beats a good vast man. It did not happen,” said Oscar de la Hoya Warrior When asked about his thoughts whether Terenka Crawford can transfer two classes of weight to defeat Canelo Alvarez in super middle weight.

“Pacquiao can defeat me an exception, but this situation was completely different. I was at the end of my career, I was a warrior, and Pacquiao came, and he defeated me. But a good little man who is Crawford, never defeated a good large man who would be Canelo in the history of this sport.”

Crawford’s age

Of course, many fighters have moved many divisions to defeat larger fighters in the past. What makes Crawford’s task more problematic for him is his advanced age, inaction and lack of impact strength. Bud will be 38 years elderly in September; He looks it. What’s more, Crawford fights only once a year since 2020 and releases from 13 months of release.

The fighter can escape from this kind of inaction when they are younger or fight with a smaller opposition, but when they age, and move and fight with someone good, they lose. Maybe Crawford doesn’t care if he will be beaten. He was in advance about one of the reasons why he wants to fight Alvarez so much. It’s money.

Crawford, from Nebrask, can nowhere near the same type of cake fighting at the age of 154, and some guys in this weight class threw him off the fries. Guys such as Bakhram Murtazaliev, Vergil Ortiz Jr., Sebastian Fundor and Serhia Bohachuk would elderly Crawford. If he fights only once a year, he would never fight even half of these guys before he was defeated.

“If Crawford can do this, give this man the title”The largest in history. This is probably motivation for Crawford and his trainer. “Look, if you can beat Canelo, you can go down as one of the historical best fighters in the world.” This is sufficient motivation for every warrior. I just don’t consider it a warrior.

“Canelo is a great blow. Yes, he goes to Quicksand, and this is one thing that Crawford can apply against him. The pressure of a heavier guy. Canelo will be 200 pounds on this ring. So it’s a complex fight, but I will admit Crawford if he pulls it out,” said De la Hoya.

Shopnonn Canelo?

De la Hoya exaggerates with what Crawford would have achieved if he defeated 35-year-old Canelo Alvarez soon. Terenka would not be “the greatest in history” if he defeated Canelo, because the Mexican star has been disappearing over the last three years and has not fought from 2022.

If Crawford defeated this faded version of Canelo, he would only beat a guy who would probably lose many times if he fought with the best 168 pounds instead of avoiding them. Canelo twisted the former super medium-sized weight of David Benavidez and David Morrella, and now he is clearly avoided the best 168-pushers.

Crawford’s victory against Alvarez would only prove what boxing fans already know: Canelo is above the hill. That is why he does not want to fight real killers at the age of 168 and why he avoided Benavidez and Morrell when they were in the division.

Derek Chisora ​​says that his last fight of his 18-year professional career will be against the IBF Daniel Dubois heavyweight champion after the order of fighting by the sanctioning body on April 22.

41-year-old journeyman Chisor (36-13, 23 KO) said THe called The last fight of his career will be against Master Ibf Dubois (22-2, 21 KO), and he has already mapped his bell.

Chisora’s path to the title

Despite the fact that for many years she is terribly washed, chisora He was able to distort his path In two shots of a world title before more dignified and talented younger pretenders. To become an obligatory IBF for the title of Dubois, Chisor defeated Otto Wallin and Joe Joyce. Chisora’s face looked like he was trampled in his victory over Wallin, who is not striking, but he is much younger at the age of 34.

Fight Dubois-Chisora ​​makes IBF look like a two-liter organization because they are too delicate, allowing antique, washed warriors to climb their rankings in front of younger pretenders that they will not have a chance to beat. Chisora ​​does not overcome any of the 15 best fighters if IBF rankings are ready based on the actual talent.

You can’t put in Chisora ​​with Richard Torrez Jr. From the IBF ranking No. 14 and expect it to come out from the second round. Torrez Jr. He would destroy Chisora. This is the whole problem with IBF rankings. They don’t make sense and harms the honesty of this sport, By allowing the antique millionaire of a journeyman with 13 losses to climb to the obligatory position to challenge Dubois for his IBF title. If IBF wants to do a favor, they can give him an antique watch as a retirement gift, but not the title of world champion.

“Derek Chisora ​​took second place with IBF. He gained this position, beating Otto Wallin. Martin Bakole took first place. He came in and fought with Joseph Parker and lost, now he lost his place, and Derek was pushed out one [to the #1 spot with the IBF]Adeladipo said Boxing TalkSport About how the 41-year-old journeyman Derek Chisora ​​decided to challenge Daniel Dubois for his heavyweight IBF title.

“Chisora, because of the last two wins against Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin, almost found himself as an opponent and pushed to position No. 1. I would like Chisora ​​to retire, but the fact is that he is still winning [against tomato can opposition, Otto Wallin, Gerald Washington, 42, Joe Joyce, 39 and Kubrat Pulev, 43]. “I beat Otto Wallin, beat Joe Joyce and I still have much more in the tank.”

Title gift Fury

Former WBC heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, gave Chisora ​​an undoakened title on December 3, 2022 from great times because they were friends. Derek lost three of the last four fights in this fight, i.e. the fight seems even more pathetic. How often do you see a warrior who gave the title shot with a record of 1-3?

It’s difficult to believe how prosperous the journeyman Chisor is. According to the sun $ 15 millionwho is an absurd number for a warrior who has never won the world championship title and lost 13 fights. His best wins were against mainly older warriors who would destroy him if they were younger.

Haneya’s infinite fight: Garcia’s memory, Risko Risk

Image: Haney's Unfocused Fight: Garcia's Memory, Ramirez Risk

Devin Haney does not seem to be 100% mentally focused on the task during his upcoming fight with Jose Ramirez on May 2. At X Haney (31-0, 15 KO) he still talks about his loss with Ryan Garcia last year, remembering steroids.

Haney’s victim does not work with fans who perceive him as someone who cannot accept his loss. They consider him a broken millionaire, trying to create a narrative of the victim from his fight with Kingra ten months ago. It would be better if Haney admitted that he was not good enough and could not cope with the power of Garcia’s left hooks.

For Devin to constantly deepen the events of this fight, he suggests that he cannot accept his loss of Ryan. Memories of what happened to Dev that night persecute him.

Mental concentration?

“Suddenly so b *** a ** n ***** know what steroids are now … stfu,” said Devin Haney XSignaling some in social media that he is still unable to accept his loss of Ryan Garcia.

The Dev strategy to undermine Ryan Garcia’s victory over him does not work. Fans saw Ryan destroying Haney, and raising steroids to tilt what happened that night is useless.

Haney should focus on the fight against Jose Ramirez (29-2, 18 KO) on May 2, because the rematch with Ryan will not take place in October if he is beaten. Ramirez can do Devina exactly what Garcia did, but to worsen it. He will end Haney if he hurts him.

Loser’s bracket

If Devin is compacted by the former WBC master and WBO Airy Welter, he can forget about a rematch of a lot of money. It will probably end in Loser’s bracket Fight Rolando “Rolly” Romero, Arnold Barboz Jr. or Teofimo Lopez.

It will be a nightmare for Haney, if he is dealing with one of these guys in the loser range, because they will desperately win and aim at the chin. If Haney is adapted to Teofimo, it can be forgetful for DEV.
