    This was a clear Crawford win not because he did anything amazing or put on some ATG performance, but because it was a doodoo D- performance from a partially shot and aging Álvarez whose legs are starting to betray him.

    You can't say "Crawford did nothing in most of those rounds" and then pretend like that doesn't mean that Álvarez then did less than nothing. :sisi1

    Man I still can't believe some people didn't give Crawford a chance. He was top 3 p4p. Skills paid the bills.

    No it wasn't. Crawford won by a margin.

    Nah Crawford will retire. He was retired till this opportunity came up.

    He shouldn't give Canelo rematch either

    Call it a day and retire undefeated to annoy Floyd for a

    If someone runs away from his opponent for most of the fight, he doesn't deserve to win.

    To be fair i think all 3 are class & you could pick any of the 3 P4P no1.

    He is a special Cat is Bud. When he beat our boy EJ I became a believer. The judges tried to cheat him but it was so dominant that they did not succeed. Bud is up there with Ali, Floyd both Sugar Rays, Marvelous Marvin, Duran, Sweet Pea, Uncle Azumah, Willie Pep, Sandy Saddler et al.

    No doubt it is. But it's not like the others of this era have ridiculously stacked resumes himself.

    I'd say its reasonable to have it 7-5. But i cant see 6 or more Canelo rounds.
