The name of Terence Crawford, continues to sound as one of the possible rivals of the undisputed super middleweight champion, the Mexican Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and now that the American fighter launched a comment where he questioned the punching power of the Mexican.

Crawford became undisputed champion, after a spectacular demonstration over Errol Spence Jr., whom he knocked out forcefully last July 2023. And now, he talked about what a hypothetical fight between undisputed fighters would be like for him, assuring that he is not afraid of Canelo‘s punch.

“I can’t get in a ring thinking if this guy hits me he’s going to knock me out, or if he connects he’s going to break my rib. I wouldn’t even consider a fight if I think I can’t handle that level of punching, but (Canelo) isn’t Deontay Wilder or anything like that,” Crawford said in an interview with FightHub TV.

is a fight between Canelo Alvarez and Terence Crawford viable?

However, he considered that if the fight against the Mexican were to happen, it would be a great fight because both would be on equal terms, because auqnue currently there is a considerable difference in weight, their dimensions are similar

Canelo is a big guy, but at the same time I believe in my skills…he’s a heavy guy, but he’s not a big guy. He’s 5’7″ and I’m 5’7″ too. That fight would be good,” he said.

Should a fight between the two fighters materialize, Crawford would have to move up at least 19 pounds, from 147 to 168 pounds, to challenge the undisputed super middleweight title held by the Mexican

Just a few months ago, Errol Spence Jr. was considered a pound-for-pound luminary, an unquestioned star, and one of the best fighters on the planet. Now, however, many are taking back their praise.

On July 29th in Las Vegas, Nevada, Spence was flat-out dominated at the hands of Terence Crawford. Prior to them meeting up in the center of the ring, Spence vs. Crawford was viewed as one of the biggest fights the sport of boxing has ever seen. More importantly, opinions surrounding their undisputed clash were split right down the middle.

Outside of the opening three minutes, Crawford punished the former champ, dropping him several times before eventually getting rid of him in the ninth.

As the rounds grew more and more lopsided, the grin on Brian “Bomac” McIntyre’s face grew wider and wider. The longtime trainer carefully instructed his man after each frame and was the proudest man in the building when it all came to an end.

Immediately after it all played out, a poignant Spence slinked back to his locker room with his head down. Making the 147-pound limit has become an arduous ask for the former unified champ, so, on a whim, he revealed that he would like to continue his career at 154 pounds.

Following his admission, Spence also stated that he would like to fight Crawford again but in the junior middleweight division. Currently, both parties are involved in protracted conclaves as they iron out the kinks in their deal.

It’s unclear if their rematch will actually take place but one thing for sure is Spence has no intentions of returning to the welterweight division. If a showdown against Crawford is ostensibly off the table, Tim Tszyu could become his new target.

The recently crowned WBO belt holder is coming off a clear victory over Brian Mendoza and is barking in the direction of Jermell Charlo, the division’s IBF, WBA, and WBC champion. If Charlo is unwilling, the Aussie has stated on numerous occasions that he would love to mix it up with Spence.

The Dallas native hasn’t had a single bout at 154 pounds. He also has to prove that he can bounce back from the first defeat of his career. On paper, you could make the argument that Tszyu is the best that the junior middleweight division has to offer. But, with that said, if he matched up with Spence, Bomac doesn’t give the Aussie a chance in hell.

“He’ll stop Tim Tszyu,” Bomac told Sean Zittel of FightHype.com. “Errol would stop Tim Tszyu

In his conversation with the professional boxer, Tunechi talked about how he still gets nervous before his concerts and the only person who can make it go away is Anita Baker and her voice. Tune also added that he has told Anita this to her face.

Only a clip has been released from this episode, which you can watch below, and I believe it may have something to do with Weezy having dental work done on his back teeth around the time this was filmed. However, you can listen to the full broadcast here.

After the IBF stripped Terence Crawford of the Welterweight belt and gave the same to Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, then IBF Interim Welterweight champion, Crawford bemoaned the fact that Ennis was cool with being an email champion. Additionally, the 36-year-old claimed that the IBF deliberately assigned him a mandatory title defense against ‘Boots’ at a time they knew it was a must that ‘Bud’ prioritized his rematch with Errol Spence Jr. over Ennis.

In this context, following the latest interview with Fight Hub TV where ‘Bud’ sent the IBF the F word, the former Undisputed champion at 147 decided to reflect on his accomplishments through an Instagram reel. In doing so, he indirectly took a jab at both the IBF and Jaron Ennis.

Terence Crawford vows to continue shining despite the “hate”

Recently, speaking to Fight Hub TV, Crawford stated that the IBF “pick and choose.” In his opinion, it wasn’t necessary to strip him of the belt only two and a half months after he became the Undisputed champ at 147 with his victory over Spence Jr. However, ‘Bud’ realized that he must move on. But, before doing so, he visited his mother’s house and displayed all the belts he earned in the sport.

“Just reflecting on my accomplishments at my mama’s house. That’s where my belts at. Hard work, dedication. So, I see why y’all mad. I see why you’re all mad. Diamonds are forever,” said Crawford. By and by, looking at the WBO NABO Lightweight title he won in 2013, ‘Bud’ said, “This is where it all started. Right here, this one, in Texas.”

And before concluding, he vowed to continue shining despite all the hate. “Don’t hate just congratulate. All these beautiful accomplishments collecting dust at the same time. Terence Crawford, all day. Just continue to hate, I’mma continue to shine. History books. Earned, can’t take that away from me,” he added.

In this connection, while Crawford took shots ‘Boots’ and the IBF, it is also worth mentioning that he also declared Ennis should have waited for the Crawford fight.

Crawford wanted ‘Boots’ to wait longer than he did

Although Crawford claimed he understood how frustrated ‘Boots’ was since he had to wait for “a long time,” ‘Bud’ thought Ennis could have also settled for someone else as long as Spence Jr. vs. Crawford II wasn’t over. Likewise, the 36-year-old declared that if it were him, he would have simply refused the belt which arrived via email. “If I was him I’ll just tell them I want to fight for it. Don’t send me a belt in the mail,” said Crawford.
