Confidence on Canelo over Crawford.

It's really cliche for a reason. The low T men trying to intimidate or scare somebody tells me everything about them I need, the real dangerous people are moving quietly. The Cro-Cops and Vitalis of the world. Vs the little boy mentality of Wanderlei Silvas, Briggs.

 

Do you understand the difference between fighting weight and walk-around weight? Canelo has fought for years at 168 and 175. He can absorb punches from men that size and can hurt men that size. Bud has 1 fight EVER above 147 and it was at 154 against Madrimov. Buf arguably LOST that fight - I had it a draw on THIRD WATCH after having Madrimov winning first TWO watches. Moveover, Bud NEVER troubled Madrimov w power. Not once. But Vergil, who started at 147, did trouble Madrimov. Why did Vergil power hurt more than Bud? Because Vergil is bigger. He started at 147 while Bud started at 135.

Canelo started at 147 as a teenager because he had half an amateur career before turning professional at 16. As an adult he started at 154.

It will not be difficult to see on fight night...just like Jermell somehow looked SMALLER THAN canelo despite being as heavy or heavier...Bud will look even SMALLER. Canelo is a real SMW. I'm not even convinced Bud is the best at 154 or 160 let alone beats Canelo at 168...even the fades version that exists today.

...by the way, Bud is 38 years old. He could literally show up in September and be a SHELL of himself d/t his own age and inactivity.

Bud is NOT winning. Canelo by stoppage is plausible.

 

Its not about imposing. Bud wont be able to keep Canelo off him. Canelo wont have to lay on Bud...simply stalking all night long. Even Canelo's hooks to the arm and elbow are going to hurt Bud. This isnt Pacman DLH where DLH was drained. This is Mikey versus Spence.

 

= size.

 

He can keep him off with the jab, using his footwork and by giving him angles. I don't think Bud will want to fight inside, he will want to presumably stay on the outside and load up pinpoint shots from range. Scull showed that he was easily able to "keep Canelo off him" by giving him constant movement and looking to slip punches. Now Bud don't move like Scull but he surely has other tools in his arsenal to keep him off.

 

Not to mention canelo was dying to make 154

 

You think Canelo would have won?
