Terence Crawford still denies that his sole purpose is to reach Canelo Alvarez until 168 to get a big day of pay on September 13th. He says he goes up to two classes of 154 for his “old race”, which sounds like Gibberish.
Legacy Doubletalk
This is just a lump sum for Crawford and has nothing to do with heritage. He goes for a match against Canelo on 168 and then returns to 154 or retire. In this case, “Legacy »is just code For ‘I’m going to get Payday’.
If Crawford (41-0, 31 kos) were serious for his legacy, he would go up 168 with the hit of the top candidates to reach the Canelo race. It will not bypass the line as it is now with the two -section jump directly to a global match against Alvarez. This is so unfair. It should not be allowed to occur if boxing has been adjusted.
Crawford is allowed to do a shortcut at the top to build a pseudo-head and is not genuine. In other sports, you need to win your way into the big game. You don’t miss out on the finals or Super Bowl without having a season. What Crawford did on 154, 147, 140 and 135 did not give him the right to challenge Canelo for the three titles of Super Middleweight.
Unproven at 168
No one would have a problem with Crawford moving and struggling for a world title if he worked through his development to hit the top candidates. If he were to move up and defeat the #1 press, he would show that he wins the race and not just hunger for money. Turki Alalshikh would have told Crawford that he had to beat two or three top children in 168 to get this Canelo match.
The problem with this is that Crawford will lose to all the top candidates. It will not beat Osleys Iglesias, Christian Mbilli or Diego Pacheco. These fighters will hit chips from Crawford, leaving him in broken pieces on the canvas.
“What can they say with me are two weight categories? to say? ”Terence Crawford said in Chat About the desire to calm his critics, climbing two sections to beat Canelo Alvarez in 168 and get his four titles.
“So this is the inheritance race there for me. Many people say, ‘It’s hungry money. He looks at money. He tries to redeem.’ I have taken money for years, and I’m not an idiot with my money, as you can see. I don’t buy Ferraris or Lamborghini, I walk with 100 people around me and got all these jewelry, “Crawford said.
