    Holy crap, Canelo is only 34?

    Madrimov is good imo. And he landed a lot of clean shots.

    Berlanga is huge, closer to a big 175 lb than a super middle weight. Crawford, on the other hand, will look tiny vs Canelo. Canelo's punches will have much more of an impact. Add that Crawford is old and inactive and I just don't see him having a meaningful shot at winning.

    Yeah, crazy how Canelo gets so much shit here (a lot of it deserved to be honest) while a guy like Crawford, who has barely any names on his resume yet is older, gets a pass.

    He does seems pretty good, but he's pretty unproven. His good showing against Crawford was mostly due on his quality, or on Crawford limitations at 154? His fight against Ortiz will be really revealing

    To be honest, he was getting crap before the Spence fight, but since then, a lot of people act like he's a ''take on all comers'' fighter, while he mostly was a reluctant warrior for most of his career (at 147 at the very least).
