    BUD CRAWFORD I said he was the most complete fighter of my day but maybe i still underrated him a little. Hes the only real old school throwback we have today. After the breideis prescott fight i said he could beat anybody 135-154. Im not sure he cant go to 168 and beat everybody. Benevidez would be the toughest fight because of his size and speed but other then that what would even be a competitive fight? I said charlo was cashing out with a big money easier fight with canelo because crawford was coming for that ass. Tzyu way to slow. I couldnt even name a fighter at 160. Big charlo is a clown. He would have to be defensively responsible with canelo because of one punch power but i think crawford style is all wrong for canelo. Crawford would wear plant down and stop him in similar fashion to spence. 9 10 or something. Benevidez id have to favor. But i dont know because crawford has the best range and distance in boxing besides shakur. Usyk,monster, bivol, and fury are masters of distance aswell.
    Crawford can put that weight on easy in his legs with nordics and the backwards sled. Stuff he did last camp. He wouldnt have to burn so much muscle and he only cuts a few lbs water but he wont need to do that so i think hed carry his power up. His power comes from speed, timing, and tech on his punches.
    People underestimate his balance. Hes slightly boul legged. Uses short steps and quarter turn pivots. That is old school. Trainers dont even teach that anymore. Catch and counter ****. All that tying up he did is old school defense. He didnt give errol a target to the body. He punched arm and elbow. He saw errol draw back his left hand and he beat him to the punch with a short uppercut. Thats old school tech that isnt even taught anymore. He the most dominant fighter i combat sports period. Even a couple levels above khabib. Sky is the limit for him. Just depends on what he wants to do. I garuntee he didnt make no canelo, mayweather, or mcgregor money. Al haymon gonna do what makes the most money. No rematch. That was car wreck number 3. Many of you thought i was being distasteful but thats the kinda beating he took. Savage, carwreck, career ending. More dominant then hopkins over trinidad and more dominant then holyfield tyson. Im not sure the charlo canelo fight is signed. They might want to make crawford charlo for undisputed. Then canelo can get whooped next. Who knows, crawford will go as far as he wants.

    Bud is old school, definitely. The way he fights, it doesn't involve a lot of foot speed, he just stands right in front of you and picks you apart. Spence's trainer was telling him "don't stand in front of him" for a reason. You have to give Bud angles and head movement, neither of which Spence provided. Bud's a devasating counter puncher and has a lot of power which he showed last night.
    It's signed sealed and delievered. Sept 30.
    LOL I'd like to see Bud try to step to Canelo. You'll be a singing a different tune if that ever happened. Jermell has a better chance against Canelo. Bud maybe could compete with Charlo at 154 but that's his limit.

    What if Jermell beats Canelo at 168 to become Double Undisputed, then comes back to 154 to defend Double Undisputed against WW Undisputed Bud. That's not impossible. But realistically, Bud is almost 36. He had a great win over Spence but lets not get crazy. He's not beating Canelo at 36 years old 3 weight classes north of where he is now and he's probably not beating Charlo at 154 either.

    bud is in his prime and well preserved. He runs on deisal. Got way more in the tank then canelo. PED use catching up with him. Crawford lives a clean lifestyle. Ive always said hed beat canelo. Hes just a better all around fighter period. Better timing, better body pundcher. Hes the same height and has longer arms. Faster of foot and hand. Canelo has better one punch power thats about all. Might have a better chin aswell. Both charlos arent on that level. Dont kid yourself.

    GTFOH there's no way in hell Bud beats Canelo. You're delusional. But I wanna see your theory tested. Lets see Bud move up to challenge Canelo and we'll see what happens. You'll be singing a different tune. As far as Bud being in his prime, I agree, which is funny because for years GGG fans who kept making excuses about why he couldn't beat Canelo kept telling us you can't be in your prime at 35. Bud is nearly 36 and now everyone's saying Bud is prime lmao. You can't make this **** up.

    Bud runs on deisal bro and lives a clean lifestyle. Hes got way more in the tank then canelo at this stage. Ped use is taking its toll buddy. Plus crawford has a mental edge at this stage. hes undefeated whereas canelo just got shutout by bivol.

    You said yourself GGG didn't throw any meaningful shots. Canelo did throw and land a ton of meaningful shots on GGG. And he outboxed him early and late, made him miss, etc. What does my ethnicity have to do with that?

    I had the fight 8-4. Canelo gassed. GGG won that fight with his jab. It wasnt even close. I have alot of mexican friends. They say the canelo mayweather fight was a draw. They say chavez beat whitaker because all he did was run. I totally understand. Its cool. Its la raza till you die. You canr help it. I dont fault you for it. Yall are born that way. Thats why mexican fighters make the big bucks. yall are ride or die vatos.

    He gassed for a couple of rounds, lowered his output while still landing bombs then recovered for the late rounds. He already put rounds in the bank early, weathered the GGG storm in the middle rounds, and came on strong down the stretch. He landed the more meaningful shots, slipped a lot of GGG's jabs, landed plenty of good jabs himself, and countered effectively all night. He outlanded GGG to the body, was more skillful than GGG throughout, etc etc etc.

    Canelo flat out gassed and ran. uncharateristic for a mexican fighter. Usually they fight with more heart and balls. Machismo. Thats what marquez said. He has no balls.

    Marqeuz is an idiot and a notorious Canelo hater. He also drinks his own urine. Would you really listen to someone's opinion who drinks their own urine? That's gross!!

    Thats just a trick he played on his fellow countrymen. Got them to try their own pee. How is marquez a hater? Hes a diff class fighter then canelo. He just tells it like he sees it. Guy kod manny pac the best lbs for lbs fighter all time cold for 10 mins in the 4th fight even those he lost the first 3. Gotta respect that. Levels greater feat then anything canelo will ever acheive in his life.

    Im the furthest thing from a hater period but i just dont care for fighters that hurt the credibility of my sport.
    He accepts gift decisions like its welfare and boxing better pay up.
