Terence Crawford’s move to hang ’em up after schooling an aging, injury worn Canelo Alvarez wasn’t just a career choice. It was a survival tactic. By walking away, he dodged a nightmare gauntlet at 168 pounds that would’ve been way more than just a “bad night.” The line of killers Crawford skipped to get that shot at Canelo would’ve been waiting to snatch those belts right back.

Trainer Greg Hackett believes Keyshawn Davis is making a “big mistake” looking past his next opponent, Jamaine Ortiz, toward a money fight against Devin Haney. Keyshawn recently openly mapped out his big plans for 2026, saying he’s going to beat Jamaine in their co-feature fight on January 31st in his debut at 140, then move up to 147 to face Haney for his WBO welterweight title.

Anthony Joshua says he wants to “break Jake Paul mentally” on Friday night. AJ wants to enjoy the slow process of him breaking the young upstart Paul to take his soul from him. Joshua realizes he’s got to make it look easy because his opponent, Paul, hasn’t achieved anything in the sport. Losing to Jake would be a strong signal that he needs to retire. AJ has more to lose in this fight than Paul, as he’s a potential mega-fight in the works against Tyson Fury for 2026.
