Fundo Backs Canelo’s Experience

Sebastian States That Undisputed Super Middleweight Champion Canelo (63-2-2, 39 Kos) has been Fighting at 168 And Has The Experience. Hey Says Hees View Crawford (41-0, 31 Kos) As a True 154-LB Fighter After Fighting Just Once in The Division. That was a year ago, and now terence is moving up to Two Weight Classes 168.

Funders Believes Crawford Should Have Fighter Middleweight to Get Ready, But He Chose Not to.

It’s a Mystery Why Crawford Chose Not to take at Least One Fight at 168 In The Last 13 months That He’s Been. He could easily fought someone in the super middleweight division to Better prepare Himself.

Is Crawford Just Chasing A Payday?

Some Fans On Social Media Believe That These Are The Reass Crawford Chose Not to Take a Weight Class:

• Fear of Being Exposed: Crawford has looked in His Move Up to 154 in His Last Fight Against Israil Madrimov on August 3, 2024. He Came Close to Losing. The Performance by Bud Was Criticalicized by Fans and The Media. Could Crawford Have A Afraid That He Lost or Looked Bad, Turki AlaLShikh Would His Mind Putting About in Canele?
• Inertia: Some fans Believe Crawford has been unwilling to Fight to the more than once He dislikes the Hard Work and Pain Involved in Training. So, Choosing Not to Take a Tune-Up at 168 Would Feed Into The Belief That Those Fans Have About Him. The Training Camp to Fight A Super Middleweight Would Have Been Hard. Crawford has been Fighting Once A Year 2021. That’s A Red Flag for a Fighter Who Does Like Hard Work and Is Doing The Minimum To Keep Busy.
• Focusing on The Money: Critics Believe Terence is Just Seeing The Canele Fight as a Golden Parachute Retirement Payday. SO, HE WASN’t Go Hard To Prepare Special At A Tun-Up At HIS WAY HE HOOK ON FIGHTER FIGHTAGE. If this Is Crawford’s Rationale Not Fighting At 168 First, Turkey AlaLShikh Made It’s Not Insisting That He Earn The Canele Fight by Defeating One OR Two Top Fighters. That Would Have The Ideal Thing for Turki to Have Set in place as a safeguard To Prevent Crawford From Just Coming For The Retirement Payday. Making Crawford Earn The Canele Fight by David Benavidez and Christian Milli Would Have Quieted The Critics, Who Feel He Doesn’t Deserve The Fight.

“Canopelo,” Said Sebastian Fundo to the media Today When Asked Who He’s Picking For The Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford Fight on September 13. “He’s (Alvarez) Comfortable at 168. He’s Fighting there. He’s Went and Collected All The Belts in That Weight Class.”

Canolo’s 168-Pound Advantage

“Course, Crawford Has a Big Chance, Being One Of The World of the World. It’s Just The Advantage of Being There First.

Canelo has been Fighting in the Super Middleweight Since December 15, 2018. As Fundo Points Out, He Put In The Hard Work To Collect The Four 168-LB Titles One. He didn’t sit out of the ring for a year, Waiting Until The Title Opportunity Was Given to Him on a Silver Platter. He worbed Hard for Them. That’s One of the Criticisms of Crawford. He Captured Three Of His Four Beating Beating Rol Specore The undiscuted Welterweight Champion.

Now, Terence is Fighting for All Four Titles at 168 WITHOUT EVER Having Set Foot in The Division. It Turns The Merit Style Of Boxing Upside When a Fighter Is Given Opportunities Wittle Working for Them.

Crawford’s Lone Fight at 154

“Crawford Is Coming Off A 154 Fight (Israil Madrimov) That He Foodt Last Year. So, I Really Don’t Consider Him A 154. He’s Fighting AT 147 A while. He Had That One Fight at 154, and then Heighted Fighting for A Year Again. So, of course, he’s probably be training, “Said Fund.

Sebastian Brings Up A Good Point. Crawford Can’t Considered A True 154-LB Fighter IF His Clash Against Israil Madrimov in 2024 Was Lone Fight in The Junior Middleweight Division. He’s Still A 147-Pounder, And An Older One. Crawford Turns 38 on September 28.

To be True 154-LB Fighter, You’ve got to Fight More Than Once and Face Different Opposition. Fans Note That Crawford didn’t look good in His Fight With Madrimov, Just Scrapping By A 12-round Unanimous Decision. The Fight Could Have Easily Gone The Other Way.

The Toll of a New Weight Class

“Again, A High-Class Fighter, but you’re going to do some weights in there. Going in There and Fighting The undisputed champion, It’s Going to Take a Toll,” said Fund.
