If Crawford’s objective is to get a considerable amount of sweet money in a fight against the super star indisputable incredibly middleweight champ Canelo Alvarez and after that ride off into the sundown, he’s not entering the ideal instructions to attain that vision by battling tonight’s winner in between WBO junior middleweight champ Tszyu (24-0, 17 KOs) and Fundora (20-1-1, 13 KOs).
As boxing professional Chris Algieri explains, Crawford need to go up to 160 to fight Chris Eubank Jr., which would put him one department far from Canelo at 168.
Of course, a much better concept would be for Crawford to fight IBF/WBO middleweight champ Janibek Alimkhanuly for his 2 belts. Unfortunately, Crawford’s not going to do that since it would be dangerous, and he would require to deal with his previous promoters at Top Rank.

“I would not be shocked if we saw Spence vs. the winner of Fundora against Tszyu. If Tszyu wins, is that huge adequate cash for Crawford? I don’t understand. If Fundora wins, definitely not,” stated Algieri.
