Slap to Doubters or Silver Platter?

Terence Crawford Says That His Victory Over Canelo Alvarez was a “Slap in The Face” Promoters Who Doubted His Ability To Do Things.

CRAWFORD (42-0, 31 kos) Three Promoters Were Doubted Him Notable Three, Bob Arum, Bob Arum, Had All Picked Canelo (63-3-2, 39 Kos) in Their Fight on September 13 in Las Vegas.

Canolo’s Decline Was Obvious to Everyone

Thay’d Seen What Fans Had, Had Shown Signs, Looked Less Explosive, Hadn’t Scored Years 2021, Andese Had Fighters, Edgar Berlanga, Jaime Munguia, John Ryder, Gennadiy Golovkin (Trilogy), and Dmitry Bivol.

Crawford, 38, States That He Showed Them What He Can “Accomplish” by Doing Something That Had Never Be Before Done Before. He didn’t say what he meant, as Fighters Have Won Division Titles in Five Weight Classes Before.

So, His Victory Over Canelo Wasn’t Respect In That Respect. Other Fighters Have Won World Titles in Six and Eight Divisions. The Historic Thing Crawford did Was beeccome by the Three-division World Champion by Four Belts at 140, 147, and 168.

However, Crawford’s Accomplishment is less impressive When The Fighters He Defeated Win Those Titles. Winning Belts For The Sake Of Doing SO ONLY SHOWS THAT DIVISIONS ARE WATERED DAY TO THE FOUR SANCTIONING BODIES, WHITH Means Fighters Can Be Maneuvered Into Holding World Titles.

Crawford’s Legacy Questioned by Matchmaking

• Super Middleweight (168): Canelo Alvarez – IBF, WBA, WBC, and wbo
• Welterweight (147): Rol Spense: IBF, WBA, AND WBC
• Welterweight (147): Jeff Horn: wbo
• Light Wellterweight (140): Julius Indongo: IBF AND WBA
• Light Wellterweight (140): Viktor Postol: WBC
• Light Wellterweight (140): Thomas Dululore: Wbo

When you look at who Crawford actually beat the His Three Championships, It Makes It Makes It Makes It Less Historic And More About Choosing Flawed, And, In Spence’s Case, A Broken Fighter. It Cheapens Crawford’s Victories When You Put Them Under The Microscope.

Adrian Broner Comparisons Are Hard To Ignore

You can Basically Say That Terence And Adrien Broner is pretty similar. Ab Captured World Titles in Four Weight Classes, Taking Advantage of Beatable Fighters to Win Belts.

“I Don’t Know What I’m Going to Do It Right Now. I’m About to Say, ‘Look What I’ve Accomplished’ or ‘What I’m About to Accomplish Next.’ I Haven’t Had Time to Sit Down With My Team and Talk With Them, “Said Terence Crawford All the smoke About What His Plans Are His Next Fight.

It’s UnderStandable WHY CRAWFORD IS A TOUTH TRYING TO FIGURE WHAT ‘GING TO DO Next, Because There Are No Easy Outs at 168 IF He Chooses His undisputed Championship. Fighting Someone Beatable Like Hamzah Is Going To Confirm That Minds of Fans That Crawford Is A Calculated Fighter, Who Preys Weak Fighters To Win His Titles.

IF He Fans Good, Like Christian Martiz, Or Osleys Iglesias, He’ll Likely Lose, And It’ll Show What Fans Had Suspected From The Get-Go About Him. He’d prayed on a washed-up Canelo to Belts, and Would Have Never Be Able To Capture The Titles IF Hehn Them By Beating The Above Contenders.

Turki’s Silver Platter Gift at 168

Turki Alalshikh Made It Possible Crawford To Avoiding the Skip Line at The Contenders at 168 That Would Have Would Him Out. Think of It Like The NFL Being Allowed to Skip The Regular Season, Playoffs, And Go Straight Into The Super Bowl to play An over-the-Hill Team, Arold player Players. That’s what Turki did for Crawford. He didn’t Earn The Opportunity. It was Was Given to Him A Silver Platter, and Had Nothing To Do Sports. There Should Be Asterisk Next To Record Books, Stating That Crawford Was to Skip Fighting to the Contenders at 168 to Earn The Title Fight Against Canelo.

“You got strong will. It’s Up To Know What’s Right and What’s Wrong,” Said Crawford About Turki Ala!

The Only Reason Crawford Can Say No to Turki Wanting Him to Fight this person or that is because he likes Him. If He Didn’t, His Showing Strong Will By Rejecting Fights Offered to Him, Like David Benavidez, Might Leave Him With Less Appealing Options.

Why Crawford Won’t Risk Fighting Benavidez

It is tellling about Crawford’s self-belief or lack thereof that he’s unwilling to take a risk by fighting Benavidez. What Does That Tell You About Crawford? It Kind Of Takes Away Any Argument That He Belongs Among The All-time Greatreat He’s Not A Risk-Taker.

Robinson and Leonard Wouldn’t Blink

Imagine Turki Allalshikh asking True All-Time Great Sugar Ray Robinson p Sugar Ray Leonard IF they’d be interested in Fighting Benavidez. Would They Have No Said? Crawford’s refusal to Fight Benavidez Shows That He Doesn’t Belong With Robinson and Leonard on the Mount Rushing in the Top Four of All Time. In My Book, I don’t see that all-time top 50 materials. To Be Among That Country Club, You Have To Show Courage.

“This is a Slap Promoters That Say I Can’t Do This and I Can’t Do That,” Said Crawford, Talking About His Over Canelo.

No, Crawford’s Win Canelo Is Not A Slap in The Face to Promoters He Didn’t Prove Anything. All he showed Was That Could Beat A Fighter That is Carefully Selected. If Crawford Wanted to Prove Something To Promoters, Why Wouldn’t HE Fight Benavidez? Why didn’t Crawford Move Up to 168 to Face Him When Held The WBC Super Middleweight title? Why Did he Wait until Canelo Held Those Belts to Fight For The Titles?
