Crawford is not on the same level as a Canelo

There's a few interesting scraps hat could be made in those divisions and a chance or Bud to pick of straps in both of them. Mendoza has a strap, and would be an easy match to make and I doubt a match Tszyu is off the table. As far as 160, it's pretty dreadful at the moment and I doubt GGG will fight again and if he does, it's probably be a showcase match in Kazakhstan before he retires. But Adames is an in house fighter and has a strap that's two he can pick up. Hell Bud if he was serious about building his legacy, why not clip off Mendoza and Adames in 6 months time, pick up two belts and then try his luck with Canelo? As far as the Ennis and Tank matches, you're right I can't see Al allowing those to happen.

 

Yeah well, Canelo was struggling against Kovalev and then KO'd him as well. That win, even as compromised as Sergey was is still better than the win against Porter. It was against a P4P fighter with his foot out of the door in a division he'd never fought in, as opposed to Mr. Consistently 2nd and 3rd with his foot out of the door. By every possible metric Canelo's resume violently shits all over Crawford's, there's literally no comparing the two. As far as your point goes, I don't even think you with a straight face believe in any of that. No, struggling with Porter is not the same and struggling with Floyd, Golovkin, Lara, Bivol and you know it.

He didn't struggle with Plant, the Jacobs match was close but no robbery. Also, Danny is yet another fighter that is better than every fighter Bud has ever faced. Canelo has been at world level for a decade, since he was literally was a child, when that happens people have a lot of opponents that's going to give them issues, especially slick fighters like Floyd, Trout and Lara. Crawford is finally stepping up the world level in his mid 30's. He's had his way against a badly compromised fighter, and struggled with a guy on the verge of retirement in his two matches at that level. Let's see how he performs in his next 10-12 matches at world level (he'll retire long before that), most of which are in divisions he's never fought in before. Then we can properly compare the two, and accurately assess. But somehow I doubt that all of those matches would be walks in the park for him especially at 154, 160 and 168. Sure, based on the eye test, Bud is the goods. But we can't officially proclaim that he's on some other plane of existence because he beat up a drained brain damaged accident victim who could barely keep his eyes open walking to the ring. Speaking of Kovalev, again.... even the compromised version that Canelo fought was better every possible level than Spence as well.

 

Of course they picked the loser in Spence to back and they're salty about it. But still..... it doesn't change the fact that Crawford is not on the same level as Canelo.

 

Well.. you're also a Mundine fanboy and think Tszyu is a future all time great so...

 

The jump in weight will be way too much for him, Canelo will devastate him with body shots and he'll fold in 5 or less.
