Chris Algieri is of the opinion that a loss for Canelo Alvarez against Terence Crawford ‘will’ scrap his legacy ‘. He will have lost to a former lightweight champion, who will move two divisions on September 13 on September 13.
Algieri believes that the loss for Canelo (63-2-2, 39 COs) would follow the flames for the criticism he has already received to use certain fighters during his career. He should not lose to anyone as old, inactive and small as Crawford. The difference in resumes between the two fighters is huge. Crawford has an Adrien Broner-type resume. Canelo fought opposition that is actually good, fighters like Gennadiy Golovkin, Dmitri Bivol, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and Erislandy Lara.
The massive tar about Canelo’s legacy
“The man can do it, and if he loses, I don’t really think it affects his legacy so much. All the achievements he already has, Crawford. They will not be forgotten. He jumps on two weight classes, ‘Chris Algieri told Fight Hub TVTalk that there is no disadvantage for Terence Crawford, which arrives against Canelo Alvarez on September 13.
Crawford’s achievements are not much when you look at his resume. He is a world champion of four divisions and an undisputed champion of two divisions. His real victories are not at all impressive when you follow the sport and understand who is good. He beat B-level fighters. The only Guy Crawford beat of A-level was Israil Madrimov, and it was controversial.
“I think it’s a win-win, loss loss situation for these guys. A win-win for Crawfordand a losing-lost for Canelo. This is a wonderful point made by Crawford. It’s a great way to get under the skin of Canelo, ‘says Algieri.’ Yes, there is a lot to Canelo, because if he loses it, The tar of his legacy is great. He lost for a welter weight. He lost to a lightweight. He was a lightweight world champion. “
The Canelo pay day of $ 100 million
Canelo knows this is a no-win situation. Therefore, he did not want to fight against Crawford in the first place. The only reason he chose is because Turki Alalshikh attracted him with a $ 100 million payday. So, if Alvarez loses, the money will be an ointment for his wounded feelings. He can drown his grief with the mega million and find out reasons why he was beaten.
“He (Crawford) jumped two weight classes. He was 30 years old (Correction: 37, with 38 on September 28). There’s going to be a lot of it. Much of the criticism that Canelo has received lately, because he did not fight against certain guys, will come back to haunt him so much more, ‘says Algieri.
A loss of Crawford will show fans that Alvarez has not improved since its loss of Floyd Mayweather Jr. In 2013. He was gifted decisions about Gennadiy Golovkin and Erislandy Lara. He waited until GGG 36 was before he finally fought him. Losing against an old Crawford, who should have lost his last fight against Israil Madrimov, would prove that the theories that fans have that Canelo are a spoiled, protected fighter.
“I like Canelo, but he gets a lot of heat out there. So, I think a loss will be a lot more here. ” A loss here will be the flames, ‘says Algieri.
Crawford struggle should not happen
The criticism that Canelo has received will not disappear, no matter how good he looks against Crawford. Fans don’t let him forget that he swam David Benavidez, David Morrell, Diego Pacheco and Christian Mbilli. The fight against an old, little Crawford, who is in his debut on 154 on 154 last year on an abyss of his debut, will not take it away. This battle should not even take place If boxing is regulated like other sports.
