Episode: The REAL reason Terence Crawford's comments about Canelo were dumb
Description: Terence Crawford recently criticized the resume of Canelo Alvarez, insinuating that he "doesn't fight black fighters", specifying Jermall Charlo and Demetrius Andrade. Michael Montero argues that the biggest issue preventing fights is promotional/network allegiances and in-house business interests, NOT race/ethnicity. Boxing is more globally diverse than ever before, and Montero argues that the narrative of African-American fighters being avoided is an old, outdated one.
