“He’s going to crush this dude, Madrimov. He’s going to crush him.”
“I’m the one that put him on notes. I was the first one to recognize him.”
James Toney echoes Bradley’s sentiments, boldly declaring that Crawford is destined to knock out Canelo Alvarez. With confidence oozing from every word, Toney leaves no room for doubt about Crawford’s ability to conquer new weight classes and emerge victorious against any opponent.
But amidst the excitement and anticipation, one question looms large: Will Canelo answer the call? While Crawford eagerly awaits the opportunity to face the boxing icon, Canelo’s motives for leaving his old promoter remain shrouded in mystery. However, Crawford remains undeterred, expressing his readiness to step into the ring with Canelo at a moment’s notice.
Toney didn’t mince words. “Yup, by KO,” he said. Bradley said, “Crawford beats anybody he steps in the ring with. Anybody.” He emphasizes “No one beats him. No one beats Terence Crawford.” Those are some bold statements!
“Me and Canelo have never talked about fighting,” Crawford admitted.
But then he dropped the mic: “Yeah, that’s a fight I would take in a heartbeat, and I would look forward to taking it. But, no, I don’t think he moved because of Terence Crawford or Benavidez.”
As the boxing world braces for what could be the fight of the century, the stage is set for Crawford to prove himself as one of the sport’s true legends. With his sights set on Canelo, Crawford’s hunger for greatness knows no bounds, setting the stage for a clash that promises to be nothing short of legendary.
