Terence Crawford vs. Canelo Álvarez 168

Because he's much larger, yes.

Bud would annihilate the roughly same-sized Canelo from 2010 getting rocked by Cotto's older brother.

 

No one said Usyk had no chance against Joshua. In fact, the overall sentiment was that Joshua had no chance against Usyk.



Clenelo kills Bud. It seems like you're gonna ride Bud's balls to eternity because he beat the corpse of Spence.

 

I agree. Speed is what hurts Canelo, not power. As much as I love GGG, he's still flat-footed and he was willing to trade with Canelo (at least in the first fight). That isn't Crawford, who I think can piece up Canelo and also use his feet to avoid danger. However, Canelo can knock him out, no doubt in my mind but if it goes to the cards unless there is some funny business, I think Crawford wins a clear decision.

Still, I'm not sure what going to 168 is going to do to Crawford and it'll be a mistake to sacrifice weight for speed IMO.

 

I agree. I just mean due to the sheer size difference.

 

lol

Some people never learn. SMH

 

You made this up.

 

whos the guy who has the smaller frame who says he cant make 160? why would that be? Why couldnt he easily burn muscle like bud and errol? Errol coming from 190.

 

Well, with Crawford's reach, timing, sharpness, and footwork this should be a competitive fight. They are about the same height. The problem for Crawford is that Canelo is also one of the sharpest fighters around and his punches are as fast if not faster at 168 than Crawford's at 147.

Canelo not only has good defense but will make you pay (body & head). We've seen Crawford hit by much slower fighters at 147, Canelo will land and what is Crawford's punch resistance at 3 weights higher. That's why it's a great match up. If Crawford's punches and jab knock Canelo around the ring than god help us all. Canelo has been with all kinds of monstrous punchers at much higher weights than Crawford though. Crawford has the foot speed & conditioning to move around and try for the decision win but what happens when he gets hit.

 

Been saying for years Crawford is a weight grifter whos more than capable of fighting at the higher weights.. the fella starts camp as a CW ffs... the p4p grift of the Americas.. they've been doing it for years.. Canelo, Crawford, ODH.. ye even Hoya walked around weighing in the 170–180 lb range back in his day.. 24 hour weigh ins.. boxing's greatest trick..

 

Absolutely why it will happen next. Its never been done before and boxing is a business.

 

Ok but I don't think anyone can say with any degree of certainty that Crawford will win. We haven't seen him in a competitive fight at that weight so who knows how he will look and perform.

 

were gonna find out aslong as canelo wins and doesnt take much damage which i dont expect him to. charlo hasnt fought in a long time and isnt he coming off an injury?? Hes sloppy as hell offensively defensively and always getting off balance.. Canelo gonna time him and prob put him to sleep. Crawford a diff story. Has way better balance and is way more technical in all aspects then charlo. has a better judge of distance and range. I think charlo sleeping. Especially if he gets wild. Id have crawford sleeping him aswell at 154

 

Crawford beating Charlo at 154 is definitely more possible than Canelo at 168.

I respect Crawfords confidence, that can push a boxer up a few levels. It's just a massive jump in weight. It hasn't been done before probably for a reason.

 

Not casting aspersions just wondering. We all know those who have failed tests for whatever reasons.

 

Crawford's clearly on roids
