Crawford on Outbox Canelo? Rahman says Alvarez’s recent opponents have masked his vulnerabilities

Former two -time heavyweight champion Hasim Rahman predicts that Terence Crawford will combine three belt super average weight champion Canelo Alvarez in September.

Rahman was not surprised at how Canelo (62-2-2, 39 Kos) fought Jermell Charlo in September 2023, and he says Crawford would use Jermel’s performance as a drawing against the Mexican star. He says Alvarez has been spoiled lately with his careful match.

Hasim indicates that Alvarez has used “Soft touches“Lately, and it will return to their persecution when he comes to the ring with Crawford (41-0, 31 Kos. Alvarez has been struggling with weak opposition since 2021.

The only good opponent he has fought in the last four years was Dmitry Bivol and it was a classic The cherry chose the wrong one. Bivol had looked terrible in his two previous battles before Canelo chose him when he moved to 175.

A pension tour?

Fans agree with Rahman. Canelo seems to have gone on a pension tour, fighting militants with inflated CVs, John Ryder, Jaime Munguia and Edgar Berlang. Alvarez has avoided sharks, David Benavideza, David Morrel, Diego Paheko and Kristian Mbil.

“(Jermell) Charlo’s fight I wasn’t really surprised by Canelo. Even if he won, I really didn’t think he did what I thought he was able to do. I feel that this gave a plan to fight him, ”said Hasim Rahmon FightypeExplaining why, in his opinion, Terence Crawford is overwhelmed by Canelo Alvarez when they fight on September 13.

It seemed that Canelo faded in the fight against Yermel Charlo in 2023 and did not put his foot on the accelerator to cut him on the ring to stop. One could see that Canelo was exhausted after three or four rounds, and he was lucky that Yermel did not show interest in the fight for him. He seemed to have just appeared on salary day.

“I’ve seen Canelo losing battles. They simply did not take it from him, but I feel that Terene will beat him. I don’t think the terence will hit him. Terence will beat him. The terence is smart in the ring. Terence knows how to maneuver the ring, ”said Rahman.

The fighter that Hasim failed to name, and that he has seen Canelo’s loss is probably against Erislandy Lara and Gennadiy Golovkin (Fight 1 in 2017). Ostin Trout was another one that fans thought Canelo had to lose.

Champion

“I think the Director General of the Ring belongs to Terence. I think Canelo slightly spoiledIn the area, I think he has been struggling with softer touch lately. I think this will happen in this fight for his cruelty. I think Terence will win the fight, ”said Rahman.

Hasim is correct. Canelo has been struggling with soft touches in recent years after Dmitry Bivola beat Dmitry Bivol in 2022. He refused to take risky battles after this loss and has enjoyed these fighters: Gennadiy Golovkin (40 -year -old) John Ryders, Yermel Charlo, James Munguia and Edgar Berlang.
