Canelo vs. Crawford could ‘flop’ like Pacquiao vs. Mayweather

‘How can you have a fight in our history, a fight that turned out to be a flop, [involving] Two of the greatest hunters of all time? Mayweather and Pacquiao. A great attacking hunter, a great defensive hunter. Two great hunters, contrasting styles, you had anything but one thing. It turned out that it was probably five years late. ”

“I love Pacquiao, but he did not fought as a man who was desperate. He did not fought like the man who fought five years earlier. And how much of that is physical? Part of it was physical, but he has continued with great things, so maybe it was not all physical if he was no longer. In his life and attached to this sport, when it meant more.”

“Canelo looked like a man who earned too much money in his last fight. I know the Mexican fans will come after me again. I don’t knock. We know how great he is. But in his last fight against [William] Scull, he looked like a man who had either lost one step or didn’t care so much. It wasn’t that urgent. It was not so important to go after the man because he did not go after the man. ”

“If [William] Scull did that ten or five years ago – before Canelo had so many zeros on his bank account, before he had 50 accountants instead of one – Maybe Canelo would have entered the man. Now Canelo are fighting in this mega, mega fight – how do we know it is not a little too late as it was for Pacquiao and Mayweather? In the same line it is already comfortable, he does not have to take a risk. “

“Is there a possibility that Crawford at the age of 38, as large as he has been, is a little less than he was a few years ago? I think it is possible. And then he has not been active, so is it possible that he has been a little less than he has been?”

‘Elements of Muhammad Ali vs. Joe Frazier ‘ – Canelo vs. Crawford Bigger Pull Than Jake Paul vs. Tank

“I want to say that Canelo and Crawford are going to blow it [Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis numbers] From heaven I think they are going to do huge numbers. But I also think that Tank Davis and Paul will also do very good grades. They have a different delivery system, I believe they are involved in Netflix for this. At the end of the day, the Canelo fights with Crawford, that is a real fight. That is what you hope to see people, but there will be people who want to see if this little man can jump in the air and get Jake Paul on the chin and send him back to the YouTube place. People will want to see it for that. ‘

“You get people who would never look at boxing, regardless of what battle you are on, they would probably not be inclined to sit and look at boxing. But if you tell them something about this man who used to be a YouTuber and he fights a world champion hunter and he is also 60 pounds bigger, they can say:” What is that?

“But you don’t get so many boxing fights that will touch on all the pistons that Canelo and Crawford’s meet, it has the attention of the entire boxing population; the casuals, the serious, the people, the people who live in it. And even those who will come a big event.”

“One of the greatest fighting ever, and the greatest fighting ever, the fight of the century, Ali vs. Frazier, who pulled Frank Sinatra to take pictures during the fight. That attracted people because of the event part of it, its mysticism, its specialty, and I think this fights that fight [Canelo vs. Crawford] Has some of those elements.

“I’m going to say that the battle of Canelo-Crawford is going to do the best figures, my fingers are crossed.”
