One Major Mistake “He’s In Trouble Now” Terence Crawford’s Coach Reveals Canelo’s One Major Mistake

According to Terence Crawford’s trainer, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez would have been far better off accepting a fight against his man when they called him out last year.

Crawford is coming off a career-defining victory against Errol Spence Jr just over a year ago. Since that night, ‘Bud’ has set his sights firmly on a clash against undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo.

Although the fight would represent a three weight-class jump from the Spence contest and see Crawford ignore being called out by growing welterweight star Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis, he told the MMA Hour that Canelo brings far more to the table in both legacy and bank balance.

“Where I’m at right now, I’m looking at the fight that makes the most sense and that’s not Boots. Canelo’s gonna bring way more to my legacy and way more to my bank account.

Because at the end of the day when boxing is done, what will we have? I would have a legacy that’s something people talk about for ages. And I would have a bank account that would last for ages as well.”

For his next fight the 36-year-old will move up one division to face current 154lbs WBA champion Israil Madrimov.

In an interview with FightHype, Crawford’s coach, Brian ‘BoMac’ Mcintyre, was asked if the Mexican had made a mistake not taking the fight straight away and allowing ‘Bud’ to gain activity and move more slowly into the higher weights.

“If we do get the Canelo fight right after the Madrimov fight, he might just be in a bit of trouble because he’s has got into that rhythm, and he’s into his groove, and it’s a good thing for Terence.”

Crawford takes on Madrimov on August 3 in Los Angeles.
