Crawford: “Best in the World”?

Bradley considers Crawford (41-0, 31 ko) “” “The best fighter in the world,“And he can show how predictable Alvarez is (62-2-2, 39 ko) when they meet. Obviously, the team pours it thick with his compliments of Crawford. He is a decent older fighter, but not at the level for younger fighters like Lamont Roach or Andy Cruz.

He does not have a resume to evaluate whether he is “best” in the world. We know that Errol Spence did well after his car accident, but there is no one in Terrence’s resume to tell us.

Crawford is Israil Madrid in the last fight on August 3, in his last fight and did not show the strength of the breakthrough. That was an interesting part. So, unless the terrain develops super middle weight by September, it could go to the defeat. If she was younger and had a speed of hands like Mayweather, that would help. However, Canelo would still have a huge advantage in power.

“I give him a great chance. Terrence is the best boxer in the world. He is the best fighter in the world for a pound,” Tim Bradley said Boxer Social When asked what kind of chance it gives to Terrence Crawford to beat the Unified Super Middle Category of Canela Alvarez.

“I know I got USYK (with #1 kilograms per kilogram. Everyone got USYKA there because of the achievement of the USYK to a heavy division. I mean, Crawford is the most vulnerable fighter in the world. I would definitely say he has a chance. He can throw out Canelo.

“Canelo is very predictable. Very powerful but very predictable, and I think Crawford will show you that,” Bradley said.

Age and rust

There is a big questionnaire about Crawford’s ability to go in two weight classes after a year outside the ring, a tireless appearance in his debut at 154, and Canelo has taken over without any experience in 168 .. will be old, small, weak, ring and fight for the first time in a super middleweight category.

The fight has not yet been announced. It is important that Canelo defeats the champion of IBF super medium weight by William Scull to their undeniable fight on May 3. If Alvarez loses, it will surely change plans to fight Crawford.
