    Just taking the fight is in and of itself a black enchilada.

    What happened with Canelo saying Paul is a joke and he would never fight him

    That was before Paul vs. Tyson set all-time gate & betting records for combat sports outside Vegas and gave Netflix its largest subscribership boost ever.

    I wonder what would happen if by some miracle Jake Paul actually manages to win? Where would that leave the Crawford fight?

    I thought about that actually. Like some weird VitKlit vs. Odlanier Solis stuff, with Canelo rolling his ankle in the first round and Paul getting awarded a TKO.

    Paul vs. Crawford is insane to imagine. :lol:

    The only way Paul wins is if he knocks out Canelo and that aint happening

    As one of the biggest Canelo detractors on this forum, I will be cheering for the ginger biscuit to win by vicious stoppage

    At light heavyweight Canelo suffers a weight disadvantage, JP however probably has some issues making that weight, evening that advantage out a bit. At cruiserweight this weight disadvantage becomes massive and this acctually becomes a winnable fight for JP.

    Sure JP is absolutely nothing special but even if he won a belt he wouldn't become the worst belt holder in history.

    At 190 or 200 pounds I wouldn't bet anything on a Canelo victory.

    As for Canelo criticism, this is the biggest fight out there available for him, bigger than Benevides, bigger than TC, bigger thany anything else offered and there isn't any superstar coming up to create a bigger fight for him any time soon either. Can't criticize this decision.

    canelo is cashing out. After crawford beats him he might do a rematch and then he will retire with back to back losses. Crawford gonna end this clown show. Most overrated hype job of my day. The inventor of the REHYDRATION CLAUSE! Everybody ripped on pac and mayweather for catchweights.

    @elmaldito Stop getting your hopes up, the only one cashing out here, is the former Lightweight moving up to fight a Super Middleweight tank. I know you're a firm believer in skills paying the bills, but there's another boxing idiom that's far more applicable here..... weight divisions exist for a reason.

    Canelo is a beast despite his BS decisions and some recent matchmaking. He also has skills and I expect him to stop Bud late
