I'm a big Crawford fan but is this anything other than a cash out fight for him? What are your thoughts? I just can't get past the weight issues
Usyk is beating men with a much bigger weight differential and they will weigh same on. Scales Crawford can beat Alvarez who is well cooked never had stamina in prime
Canelo has looked poor last few fights, so many miles on the clock, i see Crawford winning a boring fight wide on the cards, i think he will just do what Scull did, but to a higher level and land more to actually win the rounds, and Canelo will be marching forward all night chasing him but hasn't got the legs to actually get to him much, Crawford wide UD in a boring fight, Crawford doesn't care how boring it is once the fight starts as the fight is already sold, he gets paid regardless and just cares about the win, not making it exciting.
I hated this fight for even being talked about in serious boxing conversation and am kind of in disbelief that it's actually happening. I can just picture Captain Gobble Gobble screaming and shouting and throwing money at everyone until it got made. Going to stick to my guns and say that Crawford gets hurt and stopped after a brave effort and possibly even ahead on the cards.
I'm undecided yet, trying not to fall for the hype. I didn't like the photo of Crawford wearing what looked like clown shoes to make himself look bigger. I'm leaning towards Canelo.
As long as the injury rumours aren’t true, I’m backing Crawford to slip, slide and navigate his way past Canelo — something in the mould of Leonard v Hagler. The early rounds will be key. That said, I wouldn’t be shocked if Canelo just walked through him, Golovkin–Brook style. But my gut says Bud sharp-shoots and counters him to pieces, maybe even better than Floyd did. If he pulls it off, he has to be rated right up there alongside Mayweather on the ATG list.
