    37 year old welterweight who's best win is....? I don't even know. washed Spence?

    If Crawford beat Canelo it shows how overrated Canelo is. Bivol could have stopped him but played it safe.

    Where did I say it's never happened?

    Your response to my reply doesn't make sense.

    I’m just saying, Canelo deserves credit if he wins. He’s small for his weight class and Crawford is massive for 154. Canelo does have a size advantage but it’s not more than Kov or Bivol over Canelo.

    There's always the exception to the rule. But it's not common. At least on the highest level.

    Since when was Canelo 'small' for 168? He's short, not small. And c'mon, he' won a belt at 175, surely you were here when canelostans Shadow and Isal were saying he beat the #! LtHW at the time in Kov at the time

    Shadow and @IsaL are the biggest stans out there and Isal is also a massive idiot. That being said, as much as I want to hate on Canelo because of them, he deserves credit if he wins.

    Canelo is fighting somebody moving up 2 divisions, that has to make him favourite, it just does.

    It lowers the bar of the challenge he's facing and that's how credit is measured, by the scale of overcoming adversity.

    Understood. Honestly, just glad it's on regular Netflix and not an extra $80
    Enjoy my friend!

    Why should he rematch Bivol? He lost pretty clearly.

    You have to try and avenge a loss. Right? We are constantly told on here fighters must try to avenge losses or they aren't really great. Why should Canelo be immune to this?
