    No question about it. They drafted him and Ward in for a very specific reason. Both are notorious Crawford ass lickers and Max was absolutely disgraceful and shameless tonight. Not to say he hasn't always been a ass licking pompous slimeball

    Both GGG and Canelo were a considerable bit better than the Canelo of this evening.

    Both would, IMO, beat this version of Bud.

    You don't know who your daddy is. :biggrin:

    quit arguing with me, Canelo was landing hooks to the body and some straight rights down the pipe. It wasnt like the first half of the fight was all that for either of them. give 1 take 1. But Canelo won the 5th and this is what turned the tides , Canelo eating leather here

    Clenelo doesn't throw combos anymore and he telegraphs those big swinging hooks and it's easier to see them coming especially if you have a much longer reach and are a mover

    Nonito was still on top of his game, coming off of several good wins. Spence was coming off of a car crash and a bad performance, which itself I would downplay more if it weren´t for the fact that Spence has not fought since the Crawford fight.

    Crawford´s two biggest wins are when he entered his mid 30s, when his career is closing. Inoue benefits from having fought at a consistently high level for a very long time now.

    Well, that's just modern boxing. Hopkins was naturally bigger than Roy Jones Jr. or James Toney but he chose to go down in weight from light heavyweight to middleweight while they wound up fighting at heavyweight. He's not even the worst offender. Tommy Hearns and Alexis Arguello had the bodies of much larger men and were positively emaciated at their lower weights. Tommy went pro at welter, I think, and fought up to Cruiserweight. Sugar Ray Leonard fought from welter to light-heavy but he was maybe a natural middleweight. Now, the original Sugar Ray Robinson had the same kind of measurements as Tommy Hearns and was a complete monster for welterweight too. If I recall correctly, he was a six foot tall fella beating up on mostly five foot 7 opponents. Him and Tommy had reaches 8-12 inches longer than everyone in their division. Still not the craziest. There used to be a cruiserweight named Guillermo Jones 6'4" 76 inch reach who started at welter. I know that we have weight classes instead of height and reach classes for a reason but you can get good leverage for punches with a larger frame. That's a simple mechanical law and it's got to be a ***** to fight a guy who can punch you from halfway across the ring.

    You don't know your ass from a hole in the ground.

    You probably did at one time but too much weed since then.

    Or it might have been the all the jerkin' off. :D

    It's a pity all of the ravenous Bud knob gobblers on here weren't as impressed with Golovkin's far more effective jab, against a roided up super Canelo. So inconsistent! Weird isn't it?
