Terence Crawford says future generations of fans who are still talking about him 100 years from now, remember that he has moved up three divisions to defeat Canelo Alvarez.
Fans forget all the victory
Crawford (42-0, 31 costs) believes that his 12-round victory over the undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo (63-3-2, 39 COs) on September 13, 2025, caught his legacy for all time.
The reality is that it is not. Fans already forget about the victory, put it into perspective because of how tummy is that the 35-year-old Canelo is in the professional ranks after 20 years, and countless wars against the Elite-level Apex predators That Bud Crawford never fought.
Beating faded names is not enough
Crawford’s performance was superficial, a less risky fight against a cherry-chosen opponent. Terence was wolf -like and saw a vulnerable Alvarez and then fought for the battle.
There’s something a lot vulture With the way Crawford saw a rinsed Canelo on the valley and moved in to pick him up. He then made a great production over the victory and tried to convince fans that he had achieved something extraordinary.
The right samples Crawford ignored
This is an example of Crawford strategic opportunism. Notice, he did not seek these elite fighters:
- David benavidez
- Christian Milli
- Osleys Iglesias
- Lester Martinez
- Dmitri BIVOL
Instead, Terence targeted the weakened, vulnerable Canelo. It was like a bird of prey aimed at a weakened animal.
“My name is going to be attacked and talked after I died. That’s what Legacy is all about,” Terence Crawford said 4th and 1 with Cam NewtonTo talk about what he believes that future generations will speak.
History demands more than Canelo
I hate breaking it to Crawford, but I don’t believe he will be remembered 100 years from now. To be remembered, he will have to fight against the elite fighters who in their leading, not exhausted, worn fighters like Canelo, are a broken shell, and barely hold himself together.
“100 years later they’re going to talk,” remember the child from Omaha, Nebraska, Bud Crawford? He went up two divisions and beat Canelo Alvarez. “They don’t want to take the risk,” Crawford said.
The Gauntlet is still waiting for him
It is not too late for Crawford to achieve anything really by running the Gauntlet in successive fights against these fighters: benavidez, Biscvol, Mbilli, Iglesias, Martinez and Artur Bererbiev.
Terence Crawford’s best career wins:
