Canelo vs Crawford

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).

 

His excellency says it's a done deal for September

 

At a catchweight most likely?

 

No catch weight no rehydration clause. At least that's what crawford said previously

 

Wow. Crawford's reactions, timing, movement, etc, surely won't be the same. My gut feeling tells me he's going to be in trouble. He's not foght in ages and fights once a year, compared to Canelo. Cash out for Crawford me thinks.

 

Huh…Canelo can come in huggge at 180-90, underestimate Bud since he look so average in his last fight.

Crawford best chance is to pop him with jabs, keep turning him into counter right hooks/lefts…

credit to bud he could spent a year or two feeding on Ryan Garcia, Teo, Fundaro for easy millions..

 

I give Crawford credit but I think it's a step too high. No questioning the gap in talent between the two. I just think Canelo will be too big and will eventually catch up with Bud.

 

Crawford's not a "cash out" type of fighter. A cash out is when a guy takes a fight that he knows he won't win just for a check.

Crawford's a very confident guy. He believes he can he beat Canelo. He might not be able to, but I assure you he believes it. Therefore, I wouldn't characterize this as a cash out.

 

Agreed. Crawford thinks he can win it.

If he does pull it off, what does it do for his all time ranking?

 

If he wins it safely puts him over Usyk and Inoue as the greatest fighter of his generation.

 

Canelo would come in @ 190

 

Yes, but he wont. I dont think Inoue is in the discussion. Not proven enough

 

Ring Magazine says it's off
