Crawford's Ambitious Jump: Facing Canelo Alvarez In A New Weight Class

Terence Crawford, undefeated at 40-0, is ambitiously considering a fight against Canelo Alvarez at 168 pounds, a significant jump from his current division. Former champion Rolando Romero has expressed skepticism about Crawford's ability to succeed against Alvarez, citing the latter's power and experience as a unified super middleweight champion. Despite losing key competitors to higher weight classes, Crawford’s transition to 168 could be risky without preliminary bouts to gauge his fit in this division.

Terence Crawford ran into Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis during today’s weigh-in for his fight against Israil Madrimov.

LOS ANGELES – What’s known about and what’s seen from Terence Crawford as a boxer is spectacular. One of only two active double-undisputed world champions. The ability to jab and throw power punches with both hands. Forty fights, 40 victories, 31 knockouts. And a hellacious nasty streak that fuels his eagerness to finish wounded opponents.

LOS ANGELES — Manny Pacquiao “has a lot” more to give boxing despite his underwhelming performance against the Japanese kickboxer Rukiya Anpo on July 28 in Tokyo.

Money is power. No two men in boxing are currently proving that more conclusively than Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Turki Alalshikh. If you can attract massive amounts of money, you hold power. Alvarez is about to get a $35 million guarantee to face Edgar Berlanga, a +800 underdog whom I wouldn’t see as a value play even if he was a +2000 underdog. Because he brings the money, Canelo can get away with taking a fight he can’t realistically lose and still get paid as if it’s a superfight.
