    Current day Canelo too big and powerful for any welterweight - they have weight divisions for a reason.

    C. J. Ross may still score it a draw. Just to even up for last time.

    Yeah he has, but Prime Floyd, the one that beat Marquez and Hatton, even the one that beat Canelo, would bamboozle Bud from the off. He might even stop him. Crawford is elite in a poor era, his resume is woeful, and it'll age terribly when he retires.

    Mayweather is one of the best ever, Bud is one of the best of his era, they're two different levels.

    Yeah - Crawford has one decent win against a post-car crash Spence and everyone think he's on the same level as Mayweather.
