Boxing expert Chris Algieri says Terence Crawford due to him wanting a massive payday that only a fight against Canelo Alvarez could provide.
Crawford doesn’t want to take smaller money, so he’s sidelined, waiting and waiting for Canelo to bless him.
Unlike Canelo, Crawford (40-0, 31 KOs) is choosy, rejecting interesting fights against Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis and Tim Tszyu.
If Crawford fought those guys, they would bring in good money and keep his popularity high, but they wouldn’t give him the kind of dough that a Canelo fight would.
