Why Max Kellerman Says Terence Crawford Will Fight Again

Max Kellerman sits down with Ak and Barak in Las Vegas during Garcia–Benn fight week, and nobody leaves without an argument. He explains why he thinks the odds are close to zero that Terence Crawford never fights again, the Janibek plan that could make Bud boxing's first six-division champion, and why Boots Ennis is the dangerous fight. Then it gets heated: Max calls Canelo's run at 168 a cherry pick, the guys push back, and he lands on the one fighter he says Canelo did duck.

He also goes all in on the sanctioning bodies ("I spit on all of them"), traces it back to Holyfield–Lewis, and explains why he's at Zuffa: boxing needs an institution the way football has the NFL. Plus why AJ has long odds against Fury, why he suspects Shakur is the best fighter in the world even if the proof says Inoue, and how a kid doing a public access show called Max on Boxing landed at ESPN.

Plus why Canelo vs. Mbilli is no soft touch, and a heated argument over whether Shakur is the best fighter in the world.
