David Benavidez believes that Terenka Crawford crosses the borders, moving three classes of weight to fight Canelo Alvarez for his four super medium weight titles on Saturday, September 13.
Dangers related to the weight class
The WBC Delicate Heavyweight Benavidez champion says that he knows that Crawford has excellent skills, but thinks that the jump up of three divisions can be too gigantic.
Benavidez says that it would be the same if he decided to go to heavyweight to face Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. He thinks he can win, but if they hit him, it may be bad for him.
“Because Crawford is approaching three weight classes. I don’t say Ring magazine About why he thinks Canelo Alvarez will defeat Terenka Crawford on Saturday.
Crawford would be more sensible to stop at 160 and he had a few fights with the best warriors in this weight class. If he was doing well in this division, go to 168 to take some fights before fighting Canelo.
However, this would be impossible. Crawford fights only once a year. So he can take him four years to take these four fights. Until then, Canelo will probably retire, and it will be too elderly to do a lot against everyone.
“You never want to count Terenka Crawford, but for some reason there are weight classes,” said Benavidez.
Benavidez’s “Mexican monster” is right. The weight classes are there to be protected by warriors, and not preventing them from making money with fighting more popular fighters. Entering three departments can ask for trouble.
Money for Legacy?
Crawford comes out much above the division, in which he achieved his best success, in welterweight, and it is hard to buy his justification for the transfer of three weight classes.
Terenka says he chooses older goals. I believe that Crawford’s total emphasis is that he receives money because he never showed ambition to go to 168 when Benavidez and David Morrell had titles. Crawford did not begin to show interest in moving as long as Canelo was holding his lanes.
“They got me as feeble. It doesn’t matter to me. We have to go there and perform,” said Crawford to Ring magazine Asked if he worries him that he was weaker against Canelo. “I’m going there and win independently.”
It is true that Crawford and Canelo still have to fight to determine who is a better person on Saturday. But it should still apply to Crawford in his mind that opponents doubt his chances of winning, probably watching their last performance against Israil Madrimov and using it as a meter in their types.
Point of decreasing phrases
Crawford made extremely well, moving three divisions since his career in a lithe in 2007. But there is a point of decreasing phrases, in which even the great as Crawford said that he came to the point where he has too much importance. He was not cut off to compete in such and such a ward. 168 may be that point.
“It’s definitely something that drives me,” said Crawford about being weaker. “In general,” said, said, he said that he did not want people to say that Canelo was too consisting of defeating him. “Come on Saturday, we will have fireworks.”
The way Canelo performed in his last three fights cannot be said that he is on the hill. He did not lose these three fights, but he did not face high -level warriors. His last three fights were against William Scull, Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia. If Canelo fought with this super medium weight, there is a good chance that he would lose:
- Diego Pacheco
- Oslyys Iglesias
- Christian Milli
- Hamzah Sheeraz
Why Crawford’s win can be discredited
If Crawford wins on Saturday, there will still be many fans who will discredit his victory, saying that Canelo has been a faded force for 20 years as a professional. Would be correct. He is not a warrior he was once four years ago when he defeated Caleb Plant to become the undisputed 168 pound champion for the first time on November 6, 2021.
