    I honestly think GGG would stop Bud. I think GGG's jab would give Bud hell. Canelo made it easy for Crawford because he didn't throw any jabs. Crawford was able to see a lot of what Canelo was doing because it was just the same two punches. The straight right hand and left hook to the body. Prime GGG brought much more to the table. Canelo is far from his prime today.

    I think Bud could beat the past prime G from the second Canelo fight forward.

    I think a prime prime Golovkin, around the Lemieux fight, would maybe be too much for Crawford.

    But kinda hard to say, truth is I could see Bud really taking advantage of Gs lack of speed, and I think he would land sharp shots.... I think Bud is tough and solid enough to stand up to Gs power as well.

    So I think its a nice fight and I think bud has a shot, I just think a prime prime golovkin might be just a bit too much.

    Would be epic to see though.

    I think GGG would take some shots but GGG knew how to cut the ring off and if he knew he was getting out boxed, he would just trade with fighters. Make it a fight. Test his chin vs Crawford's. GGG throws shorter shots than Canelo. Canelo in those situations was throwing wide hooks and Crawford was just punching in between them. Made it easy. Prime GGG doesn't fight like that.

    I'd watch it. Golovkin had better feet than Canelo, a chin, and good technical boxing. He could also cut the ring off better than Canelo and could properly throw that looping shot to the top of the head to bypass the guard that Canelo sloppily attempted a couple times. A more dangerous fight for Crawford in my opinion, but definitely winnable for Crawford. Crawford isn't Kell Brook, or Danny Jacobs.

    Golovkin by KO.

    Same as what would happen to Canelo if he fought prime GGG.

    Prime GGG for sure, Canelo has faded a lot so can't directly compare performances vs him.

    That being said Crawford is very impressive and I don't want to take anything away from his big win tonight.

    I'd give Crawford a good chance, I really would. Triple G, like Canelo, is one of the most overrated fighters of all time... ESPECIALLY on here.

    Crawford pulling the upset wouldn't be impossible.

    Crawford could win it. He would do his Postol or Canelo approaches. He was stronger and faster than Canelo, and he should be faster than GGG. Just like Spence, Alvarez couldn't budge him too. He was seemingly heavier and bigger than Canelo.
