Tim Bradley says he believes that Terence Crawford ‘Muhammad Ali’ can surpass in greatness if he lives in the sport to defeat Janibek Alimkhuly, David Benavidez and Dmitri Bivolol.
Bok conversation meets the cold reality
Tim sounds like he wants Crawford to run the plank, put his legacy on the line by fighting against these three sharks. This is one way for Terence to carve a place on the Mount Rushmore of boxing to surpass Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis and Sugar Ray Leonard.
The way things are now, Crawford is trying to back door route to boxing status by using a win over the exhausted Canelo Alvarez as his way. It is a sneaking way to try to take Ali’s throne.
Too great, too mean, too real
The retired Bradley mentions that he thinks that Crawford fighting benavidez is a ’60/40 anyway. ‘ He believes he has a chance to defeat ‘the Mexican monster’.
How can it be 60/40 if Crawford can’t even take the battle with benavidez? That’s what I want to know.
The fighter he believes would give Crawford (42-0, 31 food) is Biblical (24-1, 12 COs), because of his size, skills and combination punch. Bradley can see that the battle happens when Biblical moves to 168.
‘When Benavidez returns to 168, it’s another crazy game for Terence Crawford. It will be difficult, ‘Tim Bradley says on his channelTalk about the threat that David Benavidez brings to Terence Crawford.
No goat without the danger
‘If you start fighting against guys like benavidez, bringing endurance, volume and size. His willingness to walk through a wall to win his victory, such as Crawford, is a big game. 60/40 anyway, ‘says Bradley.
The question is: Would Terence be brave enough to take a fight against Biblical? Crawford has already refused a scoring to fight benavidez and said he is too big, and that he weighs more than 200 pounds.
Bud did not sound like goat material in particular when he rejected the fight against Benavidez, which will probably pay him on September 13, 2025 for the $ 50 million he received for his fight against Canelo Alvarez.
“Terence Crawford may need a miracle that beats the guy,” Bradley said of Dmitri Biblical.
Ali’s throne is still out of limits
“Hey, if Crawford participates in these street fights and he all wins, man, I’m not going to lie, bro, I think he’s going to surpass Muhammad Ali, ” says Tim.
To say no to a fight against Benavidez indicates that Crawford would also reject a battle against Biblical, would he not? If Bud does not have a fight against Benavidez, why would he agree to fight an equally large Biblical, which has done a much better job of defeating Canelo than he did?
The fight would of course pay a fortune, but it would require the risk of Crawford, and he would have to put his unbeaten record on the line unless he wanted to persuade Turki Alalshikh to make it an exhibition match.
Nation Vegas says: None Ali talks without benavidez
How can Crawford “surpass” the Great Muhammad Ali if he is unwilling to fight Benavidez or Biblical? Beating an old, worn Canelo is not enough. If Terence moves to 160 to fight Janibek, a victory against him is not good enough to shoot him past Ali in the minds of fans. If Crawford doesn’t even fight against Benavidez, he doesn’t belong in the same sanctuary as the Great Ali.
