Nightmare Ring Rust Crawford: Will Long Layoffs reveal “buds” against Canelo Alvarez?

Coach Manny Robles believes that inactivity and two Terence Crawford departments will jump up in weight counting against him in his title challenge against the undisputed large middle weight champion Canelo Alvarez on September 13th.

Layoffs year -long: red flag

Crawford (41-0, 31 ko) comes off a year-long layoff at almost 38, and fought in a section he has never competed in it. He can waive the line instead of taking the guy #1, Christian Mbilli. He takes a shortcut to the top.

“As far as Crawford is cast out, I don’t see it. It’s too hard to find, too sharp, too slick, and too insightful,” said coach Manny Robles Fino boxingAnalyzes the Fighting of Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford. “He can fight from the Orthodox style, a de -baw stance, and he is just a complete fighter.”

Crawford is a mover and will avoid being cast out by Canelo. It’s like a poor man’s version of Cuban Erislandy Lara, who was an outstanding mover when Canelo fought in 2014 and was boxed his head off. Bud is not close to the Lara level when he lost a controversial 12 -round split decision against Alvarez.

Suspicion over “pound-for-pound”

“For me, he is one of the best pound-pound fighters in the world. I understand that there is a major activity,” Robles said about Terence. “So that could come back and affect Crawford, but he’s such a skilled fighter. On the other hand, Canelo has been staying active, and he’s a big boy. It’s a great middle weight.”

Robles sounds like he prepares perspectives from casual fans, who have no critical thinking. You can’t say that Crawford is a pound-for-pound with his weak resume, with no elite level fighters on it. Who has Crawford fought to say he is a pound-for-pound? Jeff Horn? Fall car wrecked Errol Spence?

“You have to carry someone like that for 12 rounds. That’s extremely difficult. It’s a 50-50 battle. It’s measured up. Skill for a skill, I have to give it to Crawford, I think everyone agrees,” said Manny.

How can it be a 50-50 battle when Crawford has never fought in 168, showing age at 38, and coming off a suspicious decision when moving up to 154 last August? Age, inactivity, weak resume, and the jump of two departments will play a factor.

“As far as weight, strength, and obvious activity, that’s a count also. Canelo can give problems to anyone, ”said Robles.” It’s about matching. I don’t think I would have taken that fight against a non -fighting man, ”said Robles about Canelo’s last boot against William Scull.

Has Crawford’s ambition disappeared?

Activity is going to play a huge factor in this fighting. Crawford has fought just five times since 2020, fighting only once a year. He was out of the area for 13 months when Israil Madrimov fought last April, and looked terrible. Now, Crawford is doing it again, coming off another 13 month Layoff. Ambition, long gone for Terence. He just fights for money now. Turki Alalshikh chose to enjoy Crawford instead of telling him that he needed to win the fighting by going through a mini-Gauntlet battle through these sharks:

1. David Benavidez
2. David Morrell
3. Osleys iglesias

Canelo was offered a large payday to fight against William Scull, and his back was against the wall. He either fought Scull or faced a dangerous person, such as David Benavidez, Christian Mbilli, or Diego Pacheco. Scull was the least dangerous fight for Canelo.

“It didn’t really take chances. He didn’t want to win that night. He would have at least tried, but he didn’t even do. I think the fans deserve more than that,” said Robles.

Canelo wanted an IBF belt back so he could get the undisputed mid -weight championship on the line for his fight against Terence Crawford. That’s why Mexican star William Scull fought. It was for superficial reasons.

Having the undoubted championship enters the battle of September 13th provides an additional angle to attract interest from the ultra-hard boxing fans who are concerned about such details. Bud has the opportunity to become a four -section belt champion.
