Csnelo's too big and too powerful for him. Crawford is great but coming up 21 lbs would be too much. I can see why he wants the fight. It would be a huge pay-day and an L that wouldn't blemish his career because he was so much smaller.
Canelo’s size alone should help him a lot but Crawford’s skills helps even things out. Not sure if Crawford will still look as sharp and fast or if he’ll struggle with the extra weight. It’s an interesting fight on paper but also a sham given the weight class disparity. Canelo still doing everything he can to not make the Benavidez fight possible.
Turki still wants to try and make it happen. Not sure if he understands the meaning of weight classes. Turki Alalshikh To Make Canelo Alvarez Official Offer For Terence Crawford Fight - Latest Boxing News
i dont enjoy watching alvarez fight much so i really dont care if he ever fights benavidez or crawford. Id rather see crawford vs ennis or ortiz and benavidez vs morrell or the bivol beterbiev winner anyhow
One thing at a time. Let's see if Crawford wins on Saturday first. Madrimov is no joke, and Bud has never fought at 154. Canyellow, on the other hand, has a guaranteed win coming in September.
A few months back I suggested that Crawford fight Ennis and the Fightbeat reaction was like someone farted in church. WTF, man!! Crawford is up at 154 now and never coming back down!!! Are you insane?? So "Cunt Yellow" has spent a career fighting champions and top contenders from 154 up to 175 and back down to 168. Crawford can't fight a guy 7 lbs away at a catch weight? Let's not go talking crazy now. Good ol' unbiased Fightbeat.
I don't think it's a mismatch. I think Bud has a very good chance. The current Canelo can't even put away that bum Berlanga. I think Nelo is enough of a plodder at this point, and has lost enough snap on his punches, that Bud's a live dog to pull it off.
I'm assuming Canelo isn't giving shit up...so he isn't fighting below 165-8....and unless Crawford can keep his speed, power, punch resistance, movement, agility while moving up in weight again...I doubt he goes to distance against Canelo.
You dont have to stop someone for it to be a mismatch. I doubt Crawford wins more tjan a few rounds. Looked really average at 154
Crawford's fanboys claim it wasn't bud looking average but Madrov being the real deal. Well hes fighting Ortiz lets see how good he really is. Should tell us how good Crawford is at 154.
