    Default Canelo vs Crawford getting closer..... (wink, wink)

    https://www.boxingnews24.com/2025/01...o-vs-crawford/

    "Boxing’s First Real Mega-Fight In Ages: Canelo Vs. Crawford!"



    I'm presuming the article title is tongue-in-cheek.

    "Boxing's First Real Mega-Fight in Ages"

    Right.

    They've certainly been dancing around this one long enough. Whether it happens or not is beside the point. The fact it's even being contemplated is wonderful, IMO.

    "Wonderful"?? Yep. That's what I said.

    Wonderful because it might be the cherry on top of the ice cream that has been Canelo's career as of late.

    I hope it happens.

    I'd be curious as to the particulars, though.

    Would it be at 168? If so, I'd advise Crawford to begin a steady diet of Clenbuterol beef. Maybe Canelo can steer him (excuse the pun) to some choice slaughterhouses.

    I noticed the proposed fight date is September 13th.

    Good thinking. At least Crawford will still be 37. Won't be 38 till a couple of weeks later, so that might take some of the sting out of the age criticism for Canelo.

    I can't wait for the hype for this one... and all the gullible casuals and Canelo groupies who will swallow up the hype like hungry, tainted cows feeding from a trough.

    I like Crawford and glad he is making big money and this is a very high profile event.

    Crawford is an elite boxer who is really unappreciated and should be a higher profile mainstream name in the world.

    Bud will give it his all and has nothing to lose.

    I like Crawford too.

    But I see this event for what it really is: one guy ducking his one true dangerous opponent... and another guy wanting a little limelight before calling it quits on his career.

    Me... I'd rather not be bothered with hype about a 168-pounder who has even wanted to fight for a bogus cruiserweight title, fighting against a bloated 147-pounder, on whom the jury is still out whether he can even carry his power over to 154.

    Meanwhile, the true challenge to this protected diva has been sitting, stewing in his own disappointment... while Ginger fans give the diva a pass for ignoring him.

    But alas... boxing has truly changed.

    Bring on the 3-ring circus.

    They will hype this fight but a win by Canelo is expected and his record for his last few fights clearly show that he is not taking on the most dangerous fighters and is retiring very soon.

    I can see Canelo moving onto the you tube circuit next.

    who are you talking about here?
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    I can see Crawford being criticised for not taking Ennis at whatever weight suits them. Ideally that would be a good warm up for Crawford before September but business reasons means he will not take the risk.

    Oh I'm not criticizing Crawford at all. He just wants in on the Cash Cow bonanza before the diva retires. Fact is... any underweight champion with a name to offer is a likely candidate (and beneficiary) of this farewell circus tour. Back when common sense prevailed, boxing fans would've scoffed at the idea of Crawford vs Ginger. Now it's a serious possibility. Is it any less likely that we could go even further in the weight disparity matchups? Hey.... Inoue is still out there.
