    Well?

    Would be more impressive than any win in recent memory, jumping from 147.. to 154 straight to 168 against a P4p guy.

    Floyd drained him down to 152 lbs.

    Well i think he has zero chance tbh. But if he did pull it off.. I'd say it greater than Usky over Joshua/Fury, Floyd over Canelo, Pac over Margarito, Whitaker over Vasquez, Jones over Ruiz. Maybe comparable to Hearns-Hill and Duran-Barkley.

    Wanting an aging welterweight to fight at 168 pounds is ridiculous. Make Canelo come back to 160 pounds at least.

    If he beats Canelo at 168 (he won't) then it's an ATG performance and almost certainly pushes Bud into top 20-30 range I think.

    That said, I am not even convinced that Bud can beat all of the best guys at 154, let alone 160.

    It would be impressive!
    It would also be impressive for Canelo if he could beat another top welter!
    Then he'd have Cotto, Khan and Crawford, all while outweighing them by 15+lbs!

    I don’t think he will beat Canelo, but if he does, it will cement him as the fighter of this era. Fighter of the decade for sure.

    Unless somehow Inoue knock Tank out or Usyk clean up Parker, Zhang, Kabayel and drop down to cruiser to beat Opetaia.

    Not that it can’t happen, but did you see how scared shitless Charlo was when Canelo walked him down? I just don’t think Crawford has the energy to do anything to Canelo..

    He would obviously be the goat then and anyone saying otherwise is completely delusional.

    A 160lb 71'' reach Amir Khan was boxing a prime juiced 180lb Clenelo's ears off for 5 rounds prior to getting clipped by that snatching victory from the jaws of defeat Clenbuterol bomb from hell. Crawford will be much bigger than Khan and closer in size to Clenelo and he has a 3.5'' longer reach than Clenelo too

    If Crawford were to beat Clenelo he'll owe a huge debt of gratitude to Khan for laying out the blue print for him how to defeat Clenelo. One thing's for sure Crawford would never have even contemplated fighting Clenelo had Khan not dared to be great against Clenelo first.
