Terence Crawford’s Quest: Proving Greatness or Chasing Canelo?

Terence Crawford is an undefeated lightweight champion with a record of 41-0/31 KOs and has stated his desire to face another boxing star, Canelo Alvarez. More to it, in the recent past, he went to social media where he said he wanted to teach the world that he is great by wanting to fight the Mexican. Nevertheless, boxing lovers and reviewers are irrelevant to doubt whether his determination is built to enhance his performance or whether he needs one more fight to get enough money to retire.

A Reality Check on Terence Crawford’s Struggles at 154

Some of Terence Crawford’s recent fights, such as his return to the ring in 154 pounds fight against Israil Madrimov on August 3 caused many fans to question the efficiency of the fighter at higher classes. Despite being declared the winner, he seems not to have fully imposed himself on the game. With only 11 fights in his professional boxing career, Madrimov tested Crawford to the extreme, and with harder right hands landed on him, the champion looked all beaten up.

After the fight Terence Crawford was given a ‘picture perfect’ look; his face was swollen, he had a black right eye and he seemed to be fatigued. It was not very impressive, and people began questioning if he was well-equipped to fight in the 168-pound division while competing against the top contenders in the following division.

The King’s Court: The Road to Earn a Shot at Canelo

Many view his decision to call out Canelo Alverz more as a way to cut to the chase in the hope of making quick cash as a true champion. To get the opportunity to fight with Canelo, Terence Crawford might also face fighters like David Benavidez, David Morrell, Artur Beterbiev, or Dmitry Bivol. These fighters would surely challenge him push him to the limit and confirm him as a worthy opponent for Canelo.

Audience members have doubts as to the motivations of Terence Crawford, he has not expressed interest in any of this competitive fighter. However, in this one, he seems to have eyes directed only on the Canelo fight. This has led to criticism that he is more interested in securing a “golden parachute” for retirement than continuing to challenge himself in the ring.

Challenges and Choices

More fuel to the fire that has Terence Crawford dodging younger fighters like Jaron Ennis or Vergil Ortiz Jr, based on his performance. If Terence wants to assert to the world that he is a great fighter and establish his claim as the welterweight champion, he must be willing to face these fighters. Winning fights against fighters like Benavidez or Morrell would serve the purpose not only of improving the fighter’s image but also a good reason to have a match with Canelo.

Should he asked to navigate through these opponents before he may make a match against Canelo? If he wants it badly enough then there should be no problem going through the ‘pillars of pain’ which shows he should be worthy to share the ring with the face of the sport. If not, he will be perceived in the same way as any ordinary fighter who has had enough of the sport and wants to fight to make as much money as possible.
