Crawford to ‘Outbox’ Canelo? Rahman claims that Alvarez’s recent opponents masked his vulnerabilities

Former two-time heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman predicts that Terence Crawford ‘Outbox’ in September ‘The three-belt super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez will’ unified ‘.

Rahman was not impressed with how Canelo (62-2-2, 39 COs) fought Jermell Charlo in September 2023, and he says Crawford will use Jermell’s actions as a blueprint against the Mexican star.

Hasim notes that Alvarez has taken ‘Soft touch‘Lately, and it’s going to come back to haunt him when he comes to the ring with Crawford (41-0, 31 food.

Retirement -Tour?

Fans agree with Rahman. Canelo was apparently on a retirement tour and fighting fighters with bloated CVs, John Ryder, Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlanga. Alvarez has avoided the Sharks, David Banavidez, David Morrell, Diego Pacheco and Christian Mbilli.

‘In the (Jermell) Charlo battle, I wasn’t really impressed with Canelo. Even though he won it, I really didn’t think he did what I thought he could do. I feel like it gave Terence a blueprint to fight him, ”Hasim Rahmon said Fighting typeAnd explain why he feels that Terence Crawford will defeat Canelo Alvarez if they fight on September 13.

It seemed that Canelo faded early in the fight against Jermell Charlo in 2023 and did not put his foot on the accelerator to put the ring on him to get a standstill. You could see that Canelo was exhausted after three or four rounds, and it was happy for him that Jermell showed no interest in taking the fight to him. It looked like he just showed up for the payday.

“I saw Canelo lose fights. They just didn’t take it off from him, but I feel that Terence will eliminate him. I don’t think Terence will knock him out. Terence will exceed him. Terence is smart in the ring. Terence knows how to maneuver the ring, ”says Rahman.

The fighter who failed to mention Hasim, and that he saw that Canelo was losing, is probably against Erislandy Lara and Gennadiy Golovkin (Fight #1 in 2017). Austin Trout was another one who thought fans should have lost Canelo.

Spoiled champion

“I think the ring generenship belongs to Terence. I think Canelo got a little spoiled. I think he has been fighting softer touch lately. I think it’s going to be his service in this battle. I think Terence is going to win the fight, ”Rahman said.

Hasim is correct. Canelo has been fighting soft touch in recent years after being beaten by Dmitri Biblt in 2022. He deteriorated to take risky fights after the loss, and celebrated these fighters: Gennadiy Golovkin (40 years old), John Ryder, Jermell Charlo, Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlanga.
