    Yep you are 100% spot on. As you know it’s not even as if I am a Terence Bud Crawford fan and I am a Canelo fan but he is cooked in this one and it could be humiliating!

    Are just saying random stuff for the sake of argument? I'm sure you have a strong enough IQ to understand my point. What I said wasn't rocket science. You made a statement based on a PREDICTION. I pointed out the difference between that and going off of what has happened in history with Crawford. Crawford has entered the ring multiple times weighing more than 160lbs on fight night. Even before he moved up to welterweight, he and Felix Diaz both entered the ring at 160lbs.

    I've seen Crawford spar in person multiple times outside of camp while he is north of 175lbs... He's done it his entire career thus the reason he is confident he can compete at that weight. Some of his regular sparring partners are Cruiser and light heavyweights. He's never been a small guy. Look at his frame. While people use the excuse that Spence drained himself, thus the reason Crawford dominated him....it was laughable because Crawford didn't walk around at 147lbs either.

    You want to make a statement based off your ignorance and fandemonium for Canelo. That's find. It's what fans do.... but stop with all the emotions when someone tries to give you actual knowledge and a dose of reality to help your opinions. No where is anyone telling you bet on Crawford. No one is trying to change your mind on who your Man Crush is.... I simply pointed out the flaw in a statement you made. Did it hurt your feelings? Why do people get so damn emotional when someone tries to enlighten them on something......

    I’m not betting this one, but I’m looking forward to watching. I don’t think Crawford can knock out Canelo but Crawdad will have a speed and boxing skill advantage. That means it comes down to the judges. When Bivol outclassed Canelo and gave him a boxing lesson, I believe he got a split decision. If this one is close, Canelo will get his arm raised at the end, no matter how bad he was beaten. Canelo is getting towards the end of his career, look for him to be on the winning end of another criminally charitable decision. He needs a win so he can fight another no hope opponent and avoid the best guys at his size.

    Hopefully, this will lead to a Bivol rematch and an even more dramatic ass kicking by Bivol, if Canelo has balls to face him. I strongly doubt he will ever fight Bivol again or Benavidez, another guy Canelo has shamefully ducked. Canelo is more likely to fight a younger tuber or another no hope opponent after this match.

    Crawford often enters the ring on fight night as a middleweight (160+ pounds). This is after cutting weight to make 147..... You think he is going to weigh in for this bout and stay at that weight and not hydrate.... You do understand that he walks around north of 180 right..

    :lol: Half your posts are you getting all emotional about black fighters, which I’m sure is just coincidence, while accusing other posters of being fan girls, lmao.
    I’m not even a fan of Canelo, but why let that get in the way of a good fantasy, huh?

    That's a myth; we have never seen him getting hit with flush shots; and every heavy hitting opponnent has abstained from going after him (GGG, Kovalev, Jacobs) like they usually do.
    Ryder, a second-rate oponnent, gave him plenty to think about, and Canelita had to settle for a decision.
    But if Canelita found his balls to fight Benavidez, he would be kissing the canvas real good. And that's why he won't.

    The question for Saturday is does Crawford come to win or will he pull a Kovalev or GGG?
    If he comes to win, Canelita is toast.

    You sound like an idiotic and clueless stalker...... My post are about fighters. No where am I pushing the race card. Crawford just happens to be black. I've discussed and defended Canelo vs Floyd Mayweather fans as well. Were you waiting in the bushes during those conversations. What about when I discussed Teofimo being better than Loma, even though I don't like his character.....

    I don't know you, thus don't care who you are "not even a fan of"....... That's information I didn't ask for because it's irrelevant to the discussion.

    Stop being weird. Either participate in the conversation or just simply read and move on. Don't come on here informing me that you are following my posts.... This isn't Twitter.

    P.S. Even if I was on this site being "Pro Black" in regards to the fighters..... Why is that an issue to you. Mexicans support their own to the fullest. As well as other nationalities.... But I discuss a black fighter and I'm being racially bias....... Boy do you even know what nationality I am..... Wow, there are some goofy individuals on this site.

    Clenelo, whilst an excellent fighter and one of the best of his generation, is overrated and his legacy and brand have benefited enormously from having the judges in his pocket transforming his Ls into Ws

    He should have considerably more Ls on his ledger than he does

    He has cherrypicked a lot and picked his opponents at the right time

    However, he has had 67 fights and never been dropped and we've only ever seen him badly hurt once and he was a baby back then

    The Kovalev he fought was obviously not the Krusher of old and that Buddy McGirt trained version of Kovalev was conserving energy, was much more boxer/puncher not puncher/boxer and was not putting full power into his shots anymore or if so was doing so much more sparingly.

    I don't believe Clenelo's chin would survive 12 rounds of savage punching from a prime Kovalev and there's no disgrace in that because Kovalev is one of the hardest punching fighters in recent memory, one of the hardest punching LHWs ever, and his power was borderline freakish

    But despite all that Clenelo has an excellent chin

    I'm thinking more or less him being in shape. On fight night fighting at 160-170 at welterweight we know he is shape. So, fighting at that same weight against Canelo, he should be good. I'm not sure he would be in the best shape coming in at 180. There may no drop off at all. We will find out. You think he'd be good coming in around 180?

    He has been rehydrating as much as 16-18lbs in every division he's fought in and he already came in at 169.8lbs for his last fight at 154 and it was obviously his debut at that weight too. He would've had to have been rehydrating 23lbs at 147 to come in that high so he was already significantly bigger at 154 than he was at 147 and that has been the case with every weight class he's moved up to and it will be the case with this one too because he looks very noticeably bigger now.

    This might be the first weight class he's fought at where he doesn't rehydrate 16lbs or more but Clenelo in his own words comes in at 178-180 so he's only rehydrating 10-12lbs himself unless he's a bit bigger now, so even if Crawford only rehydrates 7lbs after the weigh in which is a conservative estimate the weight difference will only be between 3-5lbs on the night and I don't think an extra 5lbs heavier than his previous fight will negatively affect Crawford

    People will be surprised at the matter-of-routine manner in which Canelo wins this fight. Then the excuses will start. The fallout from this fight will be hilariously entertaining. I just hope Canelo gets his props from everyone that has spent the last few months proclaiming Bud as some untouchable boxing god and canelo as some talentless plodder who is merely counting on a size advantage to win. (A size advantage that I don’t actually think will come into the fight). Canelo will win using his skills that have been tested against far better opponents than anyone Crawford has been in the ring with.

    This is great news, like finding a twenty in the pocket of an old fight robe. I knew it was on Netflix, but figured there’d be a hidden cover charge at the door—and I don’t dance with pay-per-views anymore. Maybe I’ll wrangle a fight party, provided any of my old sparring buddies are still above the canvas. Time to stock up on a few bottles of amber truth serum and let the stories swing.

    I'm sure he wouldn't blow up to 180.... He may be closer to the weigh in weight this time around being that he's put on a bit of muscle over the last 11 months, thus the water weight that he would gain after the weigh in wouldn't be as drastic.

    But all of this is speculation on our behalf. We will find out this weekend how well, he and his nutritionist and coaches have prepared him for the event.
