Terence Crawford still denies that the sole purpose is that by 168 it will be Canelo Alvarez to get a big ungrateful salary on September 13th. He says he goes to two grades of weight from 154 for his “inherited fight”, which sounds like Gibani.
Inherited double
This is just one -time for Crawford and has nothing to do with heritage. He goes to one fight against Canel at 168 and then returns to 154 or retires. In this case, “Heritage “is only at For ‘I’m going to get a salary.’
If Crawford (41-0, 31 ko) was serious about his legacy, he would move in 168 by defeating top competitors to reach the Canelo fight. He would not skip a line like it is now, jumping two divisions straight into the fight against the world title against Alvarez. That’s so unfair. It should not be allowed to happen if boxing is regulated.
Crawford is allowed to take a shortcut to the top to build a pseudo-legal, not original. In other sports you have to earn a way to a big game. You don’t skip straight into the finals or super bowl without a season. What Crawford did at 154, 147, 140 and 135 did not give him the right to cause Canela for his three super middle titles.
Unnatural in 168
No one would have a problem with Crawford moving up and fighting for the world title if he worked through the progression of beating the best candidates. If he moved and beat the guy #1, it would show that he was making money, not just money. Turks Alalshikh would say Crawford that he had to beat two or three top guys in 168 to fight Canela.
The problem with this is that Crawford would lose all the best candidates. He wouldn’t beat Osleys Iglesias, Christian Mbilli or Diego Pacheco. These fighters would knock down Crawford chips, leaving it in broken pieces on the canvas.
“What will he be able to say with me in two grades of weight? If Canelo becomes undisputed again [by defeating IBF champion William Scull on May 3rd]And I beat Canela, could you say? They would find something, but what could they really say? “Said Terrence Crawford Talk He wants to silence his critics by moving two divisions to beat Canela Alvarez at 168 and take his four titles.
“So this is a inherited struggle just for me. Many people say, ‘He’s loud for money. He looks at the money. Try to cash.’ I get money for years and I’m not stupid with my money, as you can see. I don’t buy Ferraris or Lamborghini, I walk With 100 people around me and I got all this jewelry, “Crawford said.
