Keyshawn Davis claims that Terenka Crawford can “keep anyone” in sport thanks to its power, skills and IQ. He chooses 37-year-old Crawford to defeat the undisputed superpower master Canelo Alvarez on September 13, but he will not necessarily stop him.
Is Canelo still in Prime?
Davis says that Canelo is still at the best level at the age of 35, and if Crawford shows him, she makes him “great”. He doesn’t speak the greatest all time. Fans perceive Canelo as a fall, and he was on a long retired route since losing to Dmitry Bivol in 2022.
Keyshawn said that Crawford would be “super great” to defeat Canelo, makes him naive and gives the impression that he was wearing water for People’s. Canelo almost lost his last fight with William Scull, throwing only 152 blows During the entire 12-round fight on May 3.
“I think that Bud can stop anyone. I think he has power, speed and IQ. I think he has the ability and ability to do so, “said Keyshawn Davis Sean Zittel Asked if Terenka Crawford has the opportunity to knock out Canelo Alvarez on September 13.
If Crawford could “stop someone”, why did Israil Madrimov not knock out in August last year? What happened there? There is no power to knock out warriors at the age of 154 and higher. It does not hit difficult enough to stop the warriors above 147. Even in the welterweight Crawford, Jaron Ennis would not knock out. It would be the other way around.
“He is still there with a guy who doesn’t try to do it to him. I can say Bud will beat himKeyshawn said about his belief that Crawford would defeat Canelo. “When and if Bud stops him, Bud is very great. He just won, it’s very great. But I can’t just say that he will stop Canelo. “
By defeating a worn shell of a worn, exhausted 20-year-old professional, Canelo does not make Crawford “great”. It simply means that he was a vulture and chose a weakened, sensitive victim at the right time, as he did when he fought Errola Spence after a car accident.
You didn’t hear Crawford calling Spence or Canelo when they were shooting at all eight cylinders. Crawford did not terminate the fight against David Benavidez, Jaron Ennis or Dmitry Bivol. Do you know why? They are too good for him, and he cannot take advantage of the age or wear of the ring.
Canelo’s last fights
“Canelo is still here, his best Canelo. But no one says: “Oh, you don’t fight the best Canelo because there is no same love for this sport.” NO. I didn’t see it. This is probably a discrediting scull, “Keyshawn said that boxing fans say that Canelo is no longer at its best after his performance against the former IBF master Super Middle weight of William Scull Scull on May 3.
No, Canelo is falling. It was basically washed and was from 2022. His fight with William Scull showed the fans how much Alvarez lost from the game, and he worked on the decision, and looked as if he was at the beginning of 40. Crawford is also shot, but not so bad. His fight with Israil Madrimov showed that nothing was left, so he decided not to mess with other fighters at the age of 154.
Crawford knew that he would lose if he fought Vergil Ortiz Jr., Bakhram Murtazaliev and Sebastian Fund. He did not want to fight the Medium Libra Masters Janibek Alimkhanuly and Carlos Adames.
Keyshawna’s argument that 35-year-old Canelo is still in his main, he sounds as if he tried to ensure that his friend, Crawford, would receive full recognition if he wins in front of the Mexican star. He will not receive a 100% loan, because Alvarez did not look impressive in his last three fights with Scull, Edgar Berlang and Jaime Munguia. The 20-year Prime Canelo period took place in 2015-2018.

“You fight fans, you don’t know that you don’t know in the fight from the ring. You know boxing, but you don’t know the fight in the ring. As you think, you know, no,” said Davis.

Both Floyd Mayweather and Terence Crawford hung up the gloves with undefeated records, and Mayweather’s uncle and former trainer Jeff Mayweather has assessed how a battle between the pair, in their primes, would play out.
Mayweather retired as a five-division world champion with a legendary 50-0 undefeated record, defeating the likes of Oscar De La Hoya and Manny Pacquiao in a career that will be spoke about for decades to come.
Meanwhile, Crawford retired last year after becoming the first post-war three-division undisputed world champion, walking away from the sport with his unbeaten record intact after 42 pro contests and a career best victory over Canelo Alvarez.
Discussing a fantasy fight between the two superstars with Sean ZittelJeff Mayweather shared his love for ‘Bud’ but maintained that he would fancy ‘TBE’ to come out on top.
“It’s one of them fights where fans would probably be split down the middle. Of course, I would choose my nephew [to win] but Terence Crawford is a damn good fighter.
“I don’t just like him as a fighter, I like him as a person, I like the way that he carries himself, what he stands for and what he represents. So I like a lot about Terence Crawford.”
The 62-year-old then went on to admit that Crawford may have been a better puncher than Mayweather, but favoured the elusiveness of his nephew over the aggression of the Omaha-born southpaw.
“If the fight happened and Floyd was in his prime, I think that Floyd would beat him. I think that Terence fights and gets hit a whole lot, I have never seen a fight where Floyd got hit a whole lot.
“Terence Crawford was a better puncher than Floyd, I think, so it’s a fight that either one could win but I’m going with my nephew!”
Crawford has been linked to a comeback in recent dayswith fight fans keen to see the 39-year-old return to action and face unified super-welterweight world champion Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis.
Tonight in Las Vegas, Ryan Garcia puts his WBC welterweight world title on the lines against Conor Benn. Garcia’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, sees the fight ending inside the distance.
Benn is fighting at welterweight for the first time in four years and, despite hitting 146lbs on the scales, most in the sport believe dropping back down from his two middleweight bouts last year will have too much of an effect in the ring for him to spring the upset.
Garcia is fighting his third fight at the weight – he lost to Rolando Romero in 2025 in an underwhelming performance but bounced back with a disciplined display this year to beat Mario Barrios for the belt.
Speaking to Carl FrochDe La Hoya also focused on the Brit’s weight cut when giving his final verdict on how the fight plays out, ultimately picking his charge by KO.
“It seems like Conor Benn knows how to handle the pressure, he knows how to handle the fans and be in that environment. He can fight with fighters who are strong and coming at you with combinations and pressure.
“The only thing that concerns me is the weight. It reminds me of when I fought Bernard Hopkins at 160 and then tried to come back to 147 to fight Manny Pacquiao. I was depleted. I was a dead man walking. So, that’s my only concern.
“I think Ryan’s a big puncher. He’s in tremendous shape. I don’t think Conor Benn is going to be able to take his punches. I think the fact that Conor has come down to 147 is gonna take its toll, and I feel, as the fight goes on, it’s gonna get worse for him.
“So I have my guy Ryan Garcia probably knocking him out or stopping him. But all credit to Connor … I’m just speaking facts here. Ryan Garcia is in his weight class … Conor Benn knowing that his body is depleted is gonna weigh [on him].”
Both Garcia and Benn have promised to end the fight early, and the styles suggest that it will catch fire relatively early on. If Garcia comes out on top, he opens the door to major unifications against the likes of Teofimo Lopez and a rematch with Devin Haney.
Should Benn upset the odds and have his hand raised, he has made it clear that he will vacate the belt and move up in weight.
