Terrence Crawford defends him today, says he doesn’t need belt “prove” himself. For a guy who didn’t care about the belt, he did make a fuss about being stripped of the WBC 168-pound title after he charged the sanctioning body a $300,000 title fee.

you must have a belt

Crawford had boasted about winning the undisputed title from a faded Canelo Alvarez on September 13. But he chose not to pay the WBC fee.

Since he was never paid for the WBC title, you can’t say he was ever the valid owner. He didn’t complete the process. So in the true sense of the word Crawford no way Won the title undisputedly and was only a three belt winner. He’s just the undisputed champion of two divisions. To have the belt, you had to pay, and he chose to skip that.

“Let’s face it: The belt is just a trophy. It doesn’t shape me, it doesn’t define my legacy, and it certainly doesn’t change what happened in that ring. History has happened. The record is set in stone,” said Terrence Crawford. X today.

“I am the belt. Boxers make belts. I don’t need it on my rack to prove who I am. Anyone who has come before me knows what ‘belt to a**’ really means. Boxing is not the place for politics,” Crawford said.

Terrence’s resume is mediocre. Chris Williams isn’t the only one who can see this. A large group of fans were talking. Nothing to see. Put his resume under a microscope and you get this:

• Errol Spence – after car accident
• Canelo Alvarez – faded and braced through matchmaking
• Yuriorkis Gamboa – Undersized, two weight classes above his weight class
• Israil Madrimov – narrowly defeated.

The top hunter he has never fought

Bud’s resume is not impressive on the surface. If he’s beaten the apex predator at 135, 140, 147, 154 and 168 in his career, then his statement about “putting the belt in a**” would make sense. Crawford never struggled with these talents:

• Jalen Ennis
• David Benavidez
• Christian Mbili
• Lester Martinez
• Virgil Ortiz Jr.
