    Bud is taller than Canelo. This might be upset of the century.

    Great ! Hopefully turki and dana will create a league where only boxing achievements will decide who is champion and who is not.

    I hate that I'm buying into this hype.

    Canelo is facing a guy who's 37, one fight removed from being the undisputed welterweight champion, and a guy who's had 1 fight in the last two years.

    But as much as I know fight is an absolute joke I have a niggly voice telling me Crawford is chasing greatness, he looks to have bulked really well, and an upset could well be on the cards.

    Ive not been this conflicted since Sunak took over the Tories.

    First thing, wtf is a "niggly voice"?

    Second, you cant bulk up 3 weight classes at 37/38 years of age. People will hit themselves for not realizing that a week from now...

    You don't have a niggly voice? Everyone has one.

    Its how efficient his bulk needs to be though. He'll still be quicker and have better timing that Canelo. He'll still be fitter and have better IQ.

    The only real question is can he take the power.

    I hope Canelo gets embarrassed to be honest then nobody can make claim to him being anything but a bum dosser. It will inflate Crawford's ego to disgusting levels but eh

    Bud ain't coming to lose and he's a great fighter. Question is can he take a power punch from Canelo because he will land one at some point.

    Canelo rarely ever gets credit for being a midget at this weight range. You would have to go all the way down to 135 to find a champion who is shorter than Canelo.

    Why is this fight a joke? I don't get it. Is it because it's Canelo?

    A guy wants big money and to see if they can beat a guy multiple divisions up. It's normal. Roy did it. Kell Brook did it.

    It's a good fight. Canelo is not even that big, his size is hugely exaggerated. One of the smallest SMWs. All his opponents there and at LHW make him look small.

    Its a joke because its the SMW champ against the WW champ. Especially off the back of him beating the LMW champ which was also a joke.

    But like i said im a sucker for hype.

    Madrimov looked bigger than Crawford but Crawford was over a pound heavier than him in the ring

    This is Crawford weighing 169.8lbs

    As you can see that's a very lean 169.8lbs

    Assuming he came in weighing the same vs Clenelo which he obviously won't because he's very noticeably bigger now, that would mean Clenelo would have 8-10lbs on him whilst being at a 3.5'' reach disadvantage

    But I suspect Crawford will weigh at least 175

    The absolute worst case scenario for Crawford is he will be giving away 8-10lbs but more likely it won't be near that much
