Crawford: “Best in the world”?

Bradley feels that Crawford (41-0, 31 CO’s) is the “is”Best fighter in the world,“And he can show how predictable Alvarez (62-2-2, 39 COs) is when they meet. It is clear that Tim pours it on thick with his compliments of Crawford. He is a decent older fighter, but not on the shallow skills for younger fighters like Lamont Roach of Andy Cruz. The two are above Crawford in technical ability and youth.

He does not have the resume to determine if he is the ‘best’ in the world. We know that after his car accident, he did a good work by Errol Spence, but there is no one else on Terence’s resume who would tell us.

Crawford was stopped in his last fight on August 3 by Israel Madrimov and showed no pushchair. That was the interesting part. So, unless Terence develops Super Middle Weight Power by September, he can be on his way to the defeat. If he was younger and had Mayweather-like hand speed, it would help. However, Canelo would still have a great advantage in power.

“I give him a great chance. Terence is the best boxer in the world. He is the best fighter in the world pound-by-pound, ‘said Tim Bradley Boxing sociall When asked what chance he gave Terence Crawford to beat the Unified Super Middleweight Champion Canelo Alvarez.

“I know that I got USKy there (at 1 pound-by-pound. Everyone got usky there because of Utsyk’s performance up to the heavyweight section. I mean, Crawford is the most skilled fighter in the world. I would definitely say he has a chance. He can eliminate Canelo.

“Canelo is very predictable. Very powerful, but very predictable, and I think Crawford is going to show you it,” says Bradley.

Age and rust

There is a big question mark about Crawford’s ability to move out of the ring two weight classes after a year, a poor performance in his debut on 154, and to tackle Canelo without any experience at 168. Add to the Crawford that turns 38 in September. He will rust and fight for the first time with the super -middle weight for the first time.

The fight has not yet been disclosed. It is important that Canelo defeated the IBF -Super -Middleweight Champion William Scull in their undisputed battle on May 3. If Alvarez loses, it will surely change the plans for the Crawford fight.
