Too big, too early? CROFORD weight bidding can cost him against cinnamon

Terens Crawford seems huge at the moment, probably in the 180s, as he accumulated for mega-pairs his fight against the united super-middle category champion Kanelo Alvarez on September 13th. Israil Madimov posted a video that he meets Crawford on social media, and the difference in size between them is surprising.

Slowpoke now

Crawford is already more than Canelo at the moment. At this speed, it can be large enough to move to 175 to take over anyone who winds up with the four belts of the Battle of Artur Beterbeiv against Dmitry Bivol. Crawford may have to go through David Benavides to shoot the winner, but maybe not.

If Turkish Alalshi wants to smooth things about Ferres by making him a direct shot without having to work for it, he can do it. He helped Crawford come out with Canelo to get him a title. If Crowford had to work for the title by going through Osleys Iglesias, Diego Pacheco and Christian Mbilli, he would probably fail miserable again and again.

Last August, the former WBA Middle Category Champion Madimov was bigger than Crawford (41-0, 31 CO) in their battle in Los Angeles. But since then, Crawford seems to have been placed on a good 20+ pounds and looks bigger than some of the super average weights in the division. Of course, it's just a size. It is not necessary to translate into increased power.

Crawford's battle against the Little GG Madimov showed that his power did not carry him from 147 to 154. He was the more famous fighter and took a lot of punishment from the right hands he ate all night from Madimov.

Crawford, wrapping all this weight, can return to pursue him when he enters the ring with cinnamon, because it will slow him down by putting him in the line of fire. He probably won't rehydrate until 193 pounds, as Edg Berlang did. So, making big cinnamon strikes will not be easy for an old man of 38, who only fights once a year since 2020.
