"That’s insane money. Seems like the same behaviour that caused Tyson to lose all his money."
"To him, it’s equivalent to $1700 for someone making $50k a year."
"He’s close to being a billionaire, so yeah, it’s nothing for him."

Terence Crawford’s training partner backs his power against Canelo Alvarez

Steven Nelson believes Terence Crawford’s move to 168 pounds will be less of a shock than many expect. The longtime friend and sparring partner of Crawford has seen him handle super middleweights and even heavier fighters in training for years.

Nelson, a super middleweight himself, insists Crawford’s power and aggression will pose problems for Canelo Alvarez. Speaking in a recent interview with Ring Magazine, Nelson said:

"I’m a bigger guy, and we’ve sparred countless rounds, and I’ve seen him in there with so many people, including Lester [Martinez] and everybody, and that’s never gonna be a factor. It’s not gonna be a problem. Bud has always been a heavier guy, but he’s always had to go down, hold his weight. He’s never had a chance to grow.”
