Crawford Challenges Canelo’s Consistency

Terence Crawford has raised concerns about Canelo Alvarez’s apparent double standards regarding challenges in the boxing ring. After Crawford’s victory against Errol Spence Jr., he sought a legacy-defining contest with Canelo, who currently holds all four belts three weight classes above at super-middleweight. Although Canelo has not completely ruled out the fight, he has stated it’s not in his plans, firmly asserting that his days below 168lbs are over, indicating he won’t meet Crawford in the middle.

According to Boxing Social, Crawford uncovered an old interview clip from 2020 where Canelo expressed openness to fighting Spence at the middleweight limit of 160. However, Canelo has since moved up in weight categories. It makes it apparent that he is not inclined to go any lower. Despite this, Crawford remains undeterred, expressing his desire to compete for the super-middleweight belt. Some experts have cautioned him against this decision. Considering Canelo’s dominant win against Jermell Charlo, who, like Crawford, moved up in weight for the fight.

As the conversation unfolded, Davis’s words echoed a sentiment shared by many boxing enthusiasts. The desire to witness not just a fight but a spectacle of skill, determination, and sportsmanship. His insights created a buzz in the boxing community, igniting imaginations and fueling discussions about what might transpire if these two titans ever shared the ring.
