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

[Spicoli]

Ugh. Man. Not keen on this spectacle event at all. Struggling with Crawford as a fan as he walks towards the sunset. I think in a way he's shortchanging himself with the division leapfrogging to a place at 38 years old we all know will be, very very likely, his career finale either way. I think he's peaked out as far as size and showed some signs of it with Madrimov and his complete reluctance to make huge fights with very competitive fellow champs and challenges at 154 irks me. Always always favor an elite fighter cleaning divisions and both guys here are just jumping at the lotto grab. And Canelo will get zero respect for beating another literally blown up jr middle and he shouldn't. Manufactured diversion type names for sake of names event for me.

Turki basically confirmed that the fight would happen in September.

LMAO. Social media is boiling over with speculation over who wins between Canelo and Crawford.

Same ol same ol. All this does is legitimize the fight, and give the illusion that Canelo is actually looking for challenges. Isn't anybody else tired of this M.O.? This fukker has pulled the wool over the collective eyes of boxing for decades now. Stacks the deck in all his fights... and grooms his pretty boy image more carefully than an aging movie actress.

At first I would go into the posts and put my comments. But it soon became clear that this is like the start of a landslide. Nothing and no one is going to stand in its way. By the time the fight rolls around... the boxing world will be fawning over this B.S. fight like it's some kind of Fight of the Millenium or some crazy shit like that.

Gotta hand it to this coddled diva. He's a marketing genius.

how you beat canelo is you freeze him then you pull him. terence crawford is a lot smaller than canelo but he can do that pretty good.

He's had exactly one opponent at 154, and couldn't put him away. He had a string of 11 straight knockout wins, including the last 8 at welter.... yet somehow didn't bring his power to super welter.

Now he's being asked to fight a guy with an iron chin at 168.

Remember Amir Khan?

This is going to be similar to that, except that Bud will be more wily and cautious... either lasting longer than the six rounds Khan survived against Canelo... or surviving the entire borefest, like the other undersized dude, Jermell Charlo, did back in 2023.

Some chatter about both taking in between fights. I swear I see Canelo fighting Scull...for the trinket he dropped because he was initially required to fight Scull to keep . Just speaks to how empty some belts can be. Saw Derevyanchenko as a possibility for Bud. Being honest...should Crawford do a proper step up and cruise a long in the tooth but always a stern test in Derv, it would be a literal step in the right direction. Still not big at all on leapfrogging divisions and leaving tons of work undone.

They’ve determined no rehydration clause so it will be legendary if Crawford can pull it off, meaningless if Canelo wins

Amazing looking back at Floyd making Canelo easy work. Has it been long enough that the haters can acknowledge what Floyd did yet?

[TitoFan]

When Canelo is the heavy one, there's no rehydration clause.

When he's the lighter one, there is.

If this doesn't classify as Chickenshit 101... I don't know what does.

I'm not a Floyd hater.

But let's not make his embarrassing shutout whitewashing of Canelo into more than it is.

Canelo didn't belong in the ring with Floyd. It's just that Canelo's legions of groupies demanded it, and there was money to be made.

All Floyd did was put an exclamation mark on the sentence I've just bolded.

If Canelo can’t be worthy of a fight with Floyd when he was 23, a World Champion a weight above, with a 40 odd-0 record and Floyd was 37, then he never would have been.

Ding ding ding ding ding!!!!

BINGO!!

Welcome to my world.

Fact is he never WAS.

Proven by what Floyd himself once called the easiest fight of his career.




Oh... let's not even get started on what Canelo's "40-odd and zero" record actually meant.

(Hint: diddly squat)

[Master]

The pre fight hype has started.

Canelo wants Turki to ensure there is a small ring. Crawford said he would not run.

Canelo pushes Crawford.

[Master]

Turki Alalshikh is hoping to stage Jared Anderson vs Jarrell Miller on the Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford undercard.

I'm definitely feeling that! Canelo vs Crawford? That’s the kind of fight that makes boxing fans lose their minds. Both guys are straight killers in their own weight classes. Canelo’s got the power and experience, but Crawford’s got that slick, next-level skill. If this actually goes down, it’s gonna be fire! Who you got?

Is Crawford a killer or a more boxer who slowly breaks you down?

Is Canelo on the slide after going the distance with his last few opponents?
