    Bud barely got past Madrimov. Surprised that many here seems to favour him

    I'm going with Crawford here. I think he's going to do it, just a hunch maybe, I have to admit. Crawford has insane skill, I think people really underestimate how much being able to switch between stances is a huge feather in your cap. I think he's a special fighter, if he does it I want to see him get his flowers, man.

    Does Canelo have a sneaky quick over hand right like Madrimov? No he doesn't.

    Madrimov’s QUICKER of Hand/Foot Than Canelo Is.

    Canelo is obviously the bigger buy but he's still more of a boxer than a come forward classic Mexican style fighter.

    Even though he's quite skilled i think he'd be making a mistake to allow it to be about feints and subtilities. TC would be quite comfortable with that.

    Canelo Doesn’t Need to BOX w/Crawford, He Needs to FIGHT Him…And Don’t Settle for HEAD Shots Either…

    "Crawford is gonna wake up in a corn field in the middle of Iowa."

    we all know he’ll get zero credit for beating a smaller guy

    the fight is a classic lose/lose scenario for Canelo, IMO

    Canelo has slowed down. The same hand speed he had against Golovkin doesn’t seem to be there anymore. He’s also gotten increasingly heavy footed over the years.

    Okay. But he is still known for his sneaky shots, including right hands. He's worked a lot on setting up fight-changing shots. And a key part of his success has been the unpredictability of his offense. That's all I'm saying. I'm saying just as Madrimov managed to land sneaky right hands, I expect Canelo will as well (not to mention left hooks).

    I won't give him a ton of credit, since he should win this. But if he dominate Crawford, it will show that hes better than a lot of person tought

    Just By Winning, REED Will Give Canelo MORE Credit Than for Any Win Since Triple G 3….And if He Dominates Bud in the Process, Canelo’s BACK On REED’s Lb 4 Lb List…

    It's like the religious loons tricked into following the "prosperity gospel".

    That money will start coming to them soon. You're encouraged to cheer for them in order to attain it.

    I guess Usyk has a case, but the 2 of them are clearly levels above the rest

    Definitely, I still don't think he's in the RJ and Leonard class, but he's at the top of this generation and a tough match against basically every welters in history

    Madrimov was more competitive than Alvarez was
