Tim Bradley says he wants Terence Crawford to fight someone next where he is ‘uncertain’ to win the fight.
A call to sincere risk
Bradley points out that Crawford (42-0, 31 COs) should be involved in a fight that will need a ‘miracle’ for him to win, he must face the kind of opponents where there is doubt.
High-risk opposition for Crawford
- David benavidez
- Jaron Ennis
- Dmitri BIVOL
- Artur Betterbiev
- David Morrell
Crawford knew he would beat Canelo Alvarez before fighting. That was what Bradley calls ‘the spoken truth’. For people to doubt in large numbers, he will have to get out of his comfort zone and face one of the predators at 168 or 175.
Avoid Crawford actual threats?
It’s easy to think of a number of fighters that Crawford can fight if he was willing to try to conquer a ‘miracle’. But if he is not prepared to face them, he will never win that ‘miracle’.
The fact that Crawford has already done reject a battle against David benavidez And it doesn’t seem to be in a collision against Jaron Ennis, indicates that he is not prepared to take risks.
Crawford’s mention of moving to 160 further semifies the view that he only wants to fight opposition where the outcome is virtually guaranteed to be a victory for him. So there is no chance of a ‘miracle’ fight with that kind of cherry attitude.
The definition of a cherry picker
“What do you call a struggle that you know you are going to win? The spoken truth, ‘Tim Bradley says on his channelAnd talk about Terence Crawford taking the fight against Canelo Alvarez, that he knew he was going to win.
It also becomes a Surfire Victory. And fighters who only choose opponents who know they are going to enter, are called Cherry Pickers. Chris Algieri said Crawford never takes fights that he doesn’t think he will win, so it makes him the definition of a cherry picker.
Canelo’s recent physical changes
Canelo, 35, came close to losing his previous fight against William Scull on one judge’s scorecard and scoring it 115-113. This is the identical score I had. Alvarez looked weak in that battle, and did not show one of the explosive power he had against Caleb plant on November 6, 2021.
In addition, Canelo’s physique for his last two battles looked less muscular, less defined and in appearance. I wasn’t the only one who noticed it. Many fans noticed the change in the Mexican superstar’s body. He lost a lot of muscles and washed out in appearance. He didn’t look like the same person.
In Alvarez’s fight against Edgar Berlanga, he still looked muscular. After that fight, he underwent physical changes for the Scull and Crawford fights. Some people aged overnight, and Canelo may be an example.
Bradley’s question for “Bud”
“What do you call a struggle that you are not sure that you are going to win?” A miracle. Hey Bud, let’s see if we can get into a miracle fight. I don’t know who the man is. Who is that miracle for him? ‘says Bradley.
