    These goons won’t shut up about Canelo’s struggles against Scull but they conveniently ignore that Crawford himself had the toughest fight of his career in his last one against Madrimov and showing his age.

    Crawford is older, he’s the one who jumped up 2 weight classes to meet Canelo at his weight class where he’s been fighting at for over 5 years, Bud’s the one who’s been inactive and these morons expect us to believe Canelo was the one who was at a disadvantage.

    The butthurt and stupidity is so strong that It’s visible. Crawford won because he’s a better fighter than Canelo in every aspect of the game maybe except for head movement, maybe.

    I'm just showing your pattern of refusing to give Crawford any credit.

    Crawford is age 37 past his prime and he beat the younger Canelo who was in shape.

    I picked Crawford to win and he did.

    Crawford had the mobility and skills to take Canelo out of his game, and he did just that.

    It's not always about years on the car though. It's about miles and Canelo has a lot of miles.

    He's looked a little shopworn his last few fights.

    Canelo has been steadily getting slower and slower and that is terrible for a guy who relied on explosive combinations to win. His footwork was also never great and Crawford exploited that. Props to him.

    Absolutely. That's been a constant in his career.

    Canelo struggles with movers. We saw what happens when it's a moving target against Mayweather, Lara, Bivol, even Ryder was hard work for Canelo because all the movement.

    If Canelo isn't prime then neither is Crawford. We should just give credit where it's due.
