Two-belt middleweight title chance thrust at Terence Crawford Terence Crawford has been unexpectedly thrust into the middleweight picture as two-belt ruler Janibek Alimkhanuly launched a scathing attack on his rivals while opening the door for “Bud” to join the chase. The unbeaten Kazakh, who holds the IBF and WBO championships, went public with frustration at stalled talks for a unification with WBC champion Carlos Adames. Janibek vs Adames Janibek declared, “Champions, I don’t have time to keep chasing after you. You’re bringing shame to the sport of boxing! If you won’t agree to the fight, why are you even holding the title? I didn’t think it would be this difficult! “Do you all really think this coward agreed to fight me? You all know him! There will be news soon!” The Top Rank puncher then stunned fans by calling out Crawford, fresh from his win over Canelo Alvarez, after the 168-pound king openly admitted he’d “consider 160” if the right fight came along. “If Crawford agreed to fight me, I would gladly face him. Our fight would be the kind of match every fan would watch with excitement, not wanting to miss a single second.” Middleweight mess The timing is awkward. Many see Adames vs. Janibek as a natural three-strap unification, but negotiations have stumbled, leaving the 160-pound division directionless. With Jermall Charlo set for a permanent run at 168, Gennadiy Golovkin retired, and Jaime Munguia now also campaigning higher, the glamour has drained away from middleweight. That could change instantly if Crawford steps in. Having shocked the sport by dismantling Canelo, the Omaha star carries the pound-for-pound aura that could light up a division struggling for momentum. Crawford’s dilemma The question remains whether Crawford is serious about moving to 160 or if Janibek’s offer is more publicity than possibility. Crawford told the media after beating Canelo that he is open to testing the waters but wants the most significant opportunities. WBN had predicted it would take at least three titles for Crawford to accept a middleweight challenge, allowing him to go for undisputed at 160 in just two fights. If Adames stalls and Crawford fancies another legacy-defining challenge, Janibek’s offer puts the chance to fight for two championships immediately on the table. If Crawford accepts, the clash would instantly become the most significant middleweight bout since the Golovkin–Canelo trilogy. Debate still rages over whether Crawford would commit to fighting three times at middleweight to gain all the belts after fighting once per year for the last six years.
