    Let's be honest Crawford is way too small and a chinny former lightweight that got rocked by Gamboa and hurt by featherfists how can he possibly beat Canelo. GGG, Berlanga, Kovalev and Bivol couldn't drop Canelo, he's a PED monster. Bud has absolutely no chance here. If Kovalevs power and footwork couldn't keep Alverez off what can Crawfish possibly do, It's basic math. Saunders is a bigger version of Crawford and still got iced. When Canelo lands how will Craw take that light heavyweight KO power??? I'm scared for Bud here. This might look like Tyson vs Spinks

    I don't know about the first round but the more I see them at the press conferences the more confident I am that Canelo is going to stop him. I know people say that Crawford is big for his weight but that doesn't help him here because he is used to fighting smaller guys. That is why a weight bully like Charlo although on fight night he was the same size as Canelo he knew he was totally out gunned and chose to fight like a coward.

    I don't think Crawford will fight like a coward because he has more minerals than a guy like Charlo but he is gonna get hit like he has never been hit before also no matter how good a boxer you are if you cannot push a guy back at all you are in serious trouble just like Kell Brook was against GGG.

    Canelo has not scored a KO in his last 7 fights.

    Sometimes a fighter becomes more durable with an improved chin when moving up in weight. If Crawford has good power and improved durability at super middleweight, then all is good. We’re going to find out if the extra weight translates well for Crawford… if Canelo can find a better target than just his arms, of course. Because it’s not impossible that he gets outboxed.

    Too slow, too heavy legs and too smart opponent to do that. Special in first rounds.
    Alvarez looks bad last fights compare to his bests performance and here he will be fighting with masterclass opponent who is quicker than him and know how to box.
    Canelo also first time start looking like older dude.

    Dont say that he got no chance to win this but for sure he got no chance to destroy boxer like Terence easy way in first round.

    Probably Canelo will be on school in this fight

    I think too many people are using Lara and FLoyd as a measuring stick which is a mistake. Both Floyd and Lara are more "technical" and "defensive" than Crawford is and an argument could be made they have both defeated and faced better competition than Crawford has. Honestly, based on what I saw at 154 against Madrimove, I think this will be Khan 2.0. Canelo batches Crawford in Timing and Counter Punching , but he is also a superior defensive fighter with an iron chin.

    Canelo asked for 150 mil to face crawford. That tells you everything there is to know.

    Bud looked big himself, and not smaller beside Canelo.

    People are basing a Canelo domination theory mostly on size. Size is rarely an issue and for this one it looks like Craw may even have a size advantage.

    What I don't like about the press conferences is that Crawford looks like he is trying to sell himself and playing a character. Could indicate that he's not all there for this one.

    I'm sorry, but Canelo is clearly bigger. Canelo went all the way up to 175.

    Canelo will break him down to the point Crawford is just a punchbag in there. Similar to the Callum Smith fight.

    I think Crawford will outbox Canelo, he'll fight defensive in first half of the match and then win all last 6 rounds, because Canelo will be exhausted and worn.

    Crawford by UD.

    Who has Canelo KOed recently? How did his fight against Charlo go? It's likely to go to the cards IMHO and Canelo will get the decision as he always does.

    Just look at the Madrimov fight, Crawford has next to no chance
