This is just a prime example of people getting carried away with this pound for pound nonsense.. Canelo would batter Crawford at 168 or 160.. I don't know why people think he has a chance.. cos hes done what? Beat Brook , Khan & Spence? Overrated & past it WWs... Canelo walks down MWs & SMWs & can hang with elite LHWs.. Crawfords done what exactly to warrant people suggesting he beats a ring great like Canelo? It's got miss Match written all over it .. jeez louise Americans overrate their Fighters.. it's ridiculous..
I mean they have a common opponent in Khan and Canelo scored a KO of the year while Crawford had to nutshot him to win. Weight classes exist for a reason and all. Seems like a mismatch but I'd like to see it honestly. Better fight than Berlanga by miles but that is an extremely low bar.
There is no difference in speed here, Crawford has the longer reach, higher IQ. But he's moving up 3 weight classes, and has been rocked by much lesser. Usyk had an iron chin, Crawford does not have that attribute. Even if Crawford fights the perfect fight it's hard seeing him get the decision for obvious reasons. If Crawford pulls it off he's the greatest fighter of this generation to me
Dmitry Bivol whipped Canelo's ass because he is a far superior boxer, he is also a far superior FIGHTER!!!! Canelo was exposed for what he is , a diva, & Bivol was just another lamb to the slaughter...... WRONG!!!!! Dmitry took Canelo's heart he whipped him & embarrassed him. He gave him the beating he had long been overdue for. One thing puzzled me about that whole affair. Canelo's excuse for getting his butt whupped was " Bivol was just too big, too strong for me". If that were true how come Sergey Kovalev wasn't too big too strong too????? After all he was known as an unbeatable monster. The mere shell of Kovalev was actually leading in the fight when the KO came too, seeming fortunate for Canelo lol Anyone that buys Ginger's so called "fights" are being conned Theyre just WWE !! over again That's Sports Entertainment & not really a genuine combat sport like boxing should be . Its sad that people STILL believe in him
Crawford needs to stay at 147 or 154. Forget about the Canelo fight. 168 is a step too far and the Madrimov fight showed.
