Shawn Porter sees Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford as “50-50 match” because Alvarez begins to show signs of wear from a long career. Porter sees the timetable of the race as perfect for both fighters.
Crawford gets an exhausted 34-year-old Canelo (62-2-2, 39 kos) after back-to-back performances, while the Mexican gets an opponent who will bring a lot of money.
Using Terence as an opponent will help Canelo to create more PPV purchases and money than from his second match against Gennadiy Golovkin on September 15, 2018.
In addition to money, it could be another one -sided case for Canelo against a fragile Crawford, who looked elderly in Israil Madrimov’s close victory. If the same crawford appears for a fight against Canelo, it will be embarrassed and fans will feel stupid for the event.
50-50 match?
“Terence is already taller than him and has the range. I say, this is a 50-50 match,” Shawn Porter told Ring Magazine’s YouTube Channel for Mill for Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford Fight in September. “It’s really perfect time for both types.
“Canelo Alvarez loses a big -name fighters to fight. There is really no one else. Canelo loses a big name to fight.
“(David) Benavidez deserves this fight, but its status is not at the level of Canelo (it wants). It was forced with the young child (Edgar Berlanga) he just got on the ring (on September 14). He forced him with Edgar “, Porter said.”
I’m not sure what Porter drives him by saying that Benavidez is not the regime that should be for him to fight Canelo. This makes no sense. If John Ryder, Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia were good enough for Canelo to choose them as opponents, Benavidez is worth it.
Obviously, the reason Canelo is considering a fight against the short 38-year-old Crawford is because Turki al-Sheikh is willing to pay him a fortune for the race.
Canelo probably assumes that Crawford will be no different from the former unquestionable Middleweight champion Jermell Charlo when he went up from 154 in 2023 and was too small and weak to win.
Perfect timing
“Is this the guy you can get people to come to the race, no matter who you are in the ring with. The same thing as Terence. He fights in a Canelo Alvarez, who was around the block. A Canelo Alvarez who He was in several wars and I think it’s a perfect year for both children, “Porter said.
The timetable is ideal for Canelo to fight financially but not of course. His last two games against Edgar Berlanga and Jaime Munguia have shown that he is not the same fighter who was once and starting to really slow down. Against Berlanga, Canelo looked massive and slow, hitting a fighter who would have crushed in 2021 and earlier.
The same goes for Alvarez’s fight against Munguia last May. He took out after four rounds and the only reason he dominated was how bad the well -protected Munguia was. He could not lick, but he stayed there because Canelo was not himself a fighter who was years earlier.
