Garcia: Crawford Needs Perfect Fight, Doubts Power Against Canelo

Danny Garcia says that Terence Crawfords will not be enough at 168 to have the chance to defeat Canelo Alvarez for his undisputed super middleweight championship on September 12th. Garcia notes that crawfords power did not appear to 154 in his fight against Israail Madrimov on August 3 last year. He says that Crawford is now increasing two weight classes to 168 to fight one of the largest punchers in the division, Canelo, it is becoming “hard”.

Crawford’s decision not to pursue and take one or two settings in the super medication to prepare for Alvarez will make his work more difficult. He decided to be on the safe side, sit and wait for the huge payday fight instead of risking his hiding place against one of the competitors to prepare. What does this tell you about the true goal of Terence to take the fight with Canelo? He says it is legacy, but his actions indicate that it is for the money.

168 Power Deficit?

“I judge Crawford’s last performance when he went against Madrimov on 154. I feel like his [Bud] Power did not apply to 154. So I feel like 168, that’s hard, ”said Danny Garcia to Danny Garcia Fighter planeIn his shots, Terence Crawford will have enough pop so that on September 12th he is a threat to the defeat of Canelo Alvarez.

Crawfords did not rose from 147 to 154 in his last fight. He was never a big puncher, even at 147, and looked weak In the junior medium weight against Israil Madrimov. Some of them are the time of age that builds its ugly head. If you are 40 like crawford and have only been fighting once a year since 2020. «Little Ggg ‘Madrimov hit Crawford with the right hands of Crawford and repeatedly beat him with head tension. At the end of the fight, Crawford’s face looked as if he had been hit by a truck. In contrast, Madrimov looked as if he hadn’t even been in a fight.

A victory to rule them all?

“If he takes it off, you have to put it up there The upper three of all time. That is, he [Crawford] combines all four belts into three departments. All of these weight classes to beat Canelo, “said Danny.” If he wins this fight, you have to bring it to the top three of all time. But it will be a steeper, steep hill for climbing. It will be hard. “

You cannot call Crawford “Top three of all time” when he pulls a surprise from Canelo because he is above average and at that time is far from being nearly in his career. If Crawford defeated the version of Canelo in 2017, who was fighting against Gennady Golovkin against Gennady Golovkin in her first fight, you could bring him into the top 30 or 40 of all time, but not in the top 3. Canelo was 27 at the time.

So that crawford is in the top 3 ever, he would have to beat these fighters:

– David Benavidez
– Dmitry Bivol
– David Morrell
– Artur Betterbiev
– Jai Opetaia

You don’t get a top three point of all time by defeating an old barnacle like Canelo, and then say that you are among the best? Danny has to slip if he believes that Crawford only needs everything to defeat Canelo to be among the greats of all time. He won’t even be one of the top 50 when he beats this fading old Canelo.

“If he can, praise him, but I think it will be too much for him. This is a naturally larger guy [Canelo]. You talk about a guy [Crawford] Who started his career at 135 and fought at 168. That is crazy. As soon as he starts to be hit with these bombs, he will say: “Whoa,” said Garcia.

When Crawford put up 168 ascent and a few tune-up fights under his belt to show what he can do, he may have the chance to beat Canelo. Before the fight against Canelo, he should have taken over a few quick battles against competitors of the super middle weight, Osleys Iglesias and Christian Mbilli. If Crawford were physically in one piece after these games, the fans would give him a better shot against Alvarez. What Terence does increases by 14 pounds after a lackluster performance in his debut at 154 against Israail Madrimov, it doesn’t look good for him. He will still get the payday of $ 100 million, which is probably the only reason why he works for the Canelo fight. But when it comes to profit, I don’t see that it also happens against this washed -out version of the Mexican star.

Mobility lost

“Crawford likes to fight,” said Danny when he was asked whether Terence Canelo and Viktor Postol will be boxing in 2016 in 2016. “He can just do it, but it’s just something he likes to fight. That’s why he is sometimes hit. Sometimes he has to fight a perfect fight. Somehow his blows absorb and take this pressure out.”

Crawford no longer has the same mobility he owned when he fought Viktor Postol at the age of 28. Bud will be on September 28th at the age of 38.
