Crawford’s Ambiguous ‘Whatever’ Signals a search for the biggest Fight

Terence Crawford Says He’s Open “Whatever” When Asked IF He’s interested in Canelo Alvarez After Defeating Him to Become to Bece Middleweight Champion on Saturday Night in Las Vegas.

The Answer, Crawford (42-0, 31 Kos), Likely Means He’ll Take The Biggest Payday Turki Allalshikh Can Offer Hi His Next Fight. If that’s Canelo, 35, He’ll Take That Fight to Get The Money. Crawford Would Likely Be Agreeable to Fight Hamzah Sheeraz Next IF The Money Is Right, Because He’s Beatable.

A Lucrative ‘Whatever’

“I’m Open to Whatever. I Said I’m Going To Sit Back And Enjoy My Victory With My Team,” Said Terence at The Crawford Post-Fight Press Conference When Asked About His Thoughts on a rematch with Canelo Alvarez.

The Riyadh Season Options

We Have To Wait and See What Canele (63-3-2, 39 Kos) and Turki Alalshikh Say Aby Doing A Rematch. Crawford Isn’t The Shot-Caller in this case. Turki and Canolo even. Hey May Ideas for Terence Against One of These Fighters Who Compete in His Riyadh Season Events:

• David Benavidez
• Dmitry Bivol
• Artur Betterbiev
• Hamzah Sheeraz

If I Were Turki, I’d Give Him The First Three Options on The Above List and Make It A Take-It-Or-Leave-It Offer. In other words, Fight One of the Top Three or Nothing.

Was Crawford Really Stronger?

“I Was Stronger. I Pushed Harder, and That Was Just It,” Said Crawford. “A Lot of People Put About Moving Up In Weight. Canelo Is Not A Big Guy. He’s a Smaller Guy Fighting In A Bigger Weight Class. We’re Around the Same Size.”

Crawford Is Giving Himself Too Much Credit. His Shots Did Not Look Powerful as Canelo’s. You could hear the Difference in the Punches Canelo Was Landing to His. Crawford’s Power Wasn’t Better Than Canelo’s Who Of The Top Fighters at 160 or 154.

His Shots Ween’t The Reason He Beat Canelo Tonight. It was the Movement, and Landing From The Way He Prevented Alvarez. William Scull Did the Same Thing As Crawford, Using Movement, And He Came Close to Beating Alvarez On May 3.

He Lost 115-113 On One Judge’s Scorecards, And That was Arguably The Score That Matched The Fight. I Believe Scull Harder Than Crawford and Threw Better Combinations.
