    Crawford is too slick for Canelo and will outbox him

    One thing I cant seem to forget is that Canelo used PEDs for the golovkin fight. I get a feeling that he may be doing it now because the fight is so far away and he can cycle the peds.

    I just take it for granted that Clenelo is juicing

    Crawford hurt Madrimov 4 different times. What are you talkin about. Crawford hurt Madrimov 4x in the fight. twice inthe 11th which is why Madrimov went from his feints that he had been doing all night to clinching. That's what kept him on his feet that round.

    Hilarious how y'all try to make it seem like Madrimov showcased so much power and control in the fight yet he and his camp had ZERO confidence getting a victory after that last bell. When he's walking through your best CLEAN punches and throwing combinations that have you responding with a clinch...... You aren't winning the fight. Especially after spending 6 rounds "pump faking" and not engaging with the presumed smaller fighter.

    Here's ''little'' Crawford standing next to gigantic SMW Diego Pacheco who I'll wager is a lot bigger than Clenelo,

    Crawford looks like a good sized MW at worst

    Yeah Bud is a thicker guy, surprising what they do to keep the weight off some fighters, wrestling background would help… in the 40s James Toney would’ve been 180lbs-200lbs where he’d be comfortable, Bud is probably 170lbs or so on fight night and that’s after slashing real weight - Nelo is in the low 180s ain’t he? No one would bat an eye if they were just going off weight 10lbs? But it’s because one is a “Welterweight” as if that word means anything anymore. Weight classes are a fallacy.

    Agreed! I can’t wait, it’s awesome, we are seeing probably the best boxer around (TC) in a David vs Goliath bout - it’s been a boxing trope, archetypical match forever is it likely Nelo batters him…yes he’s got some P4P skills of his own and is physically a pretty monstrous guy but the idea of Crawford winning or it being close has had me googling it up monthly for a long time for any news on it… we want Benivadez it’s loads of money for Nelo so I’ll call it a duck but this isn’t nothing and it’s historical.

    People keep going on about size but Crawford is actually taller than Canelo with a 4 inch reach advantage and has walked around as high as 180.

    Canelo hasn't impressed in any of his fights for quite awhile and has been handpicking fights for quite a few years now. The Munguia struggle for example recently has aged badly since Munguia got flattened by a feather fisted Frenchman.

    I don't care what anyone says I think this is a winnable fight for Crawford and the apparent size disadvantage is well over blown when Crawford walks around as a Light Heavyweight and is taller with a longer reach than Canelo.

    Canelo is not an overly aggressive physical fighter he fights in spurts and uses his skills that gives Crawford more of a chance in a high skilled technical fight. Rather than a very physical stronger bigger man swarming all over Crawford which isn't Canelo's style and it never has been.

    Canelo hasn't had a stoppage win in 4 years it took him 11 rounds to stop Plant via TKO and the Saunders win was an eye injury.

    Canelo hasn't showed "KO power" for years.
