    Not a Madrimov fan, just a Bud hater.

    Still Usyk for me but Crawford would be clearly above Inoue and Bivol

    Exactly. People who claim to be BOXING fans should love and respect what he has done in this sport. Every division he's been in, he guns for the top dog in the division regardless of how much people say he is "too small" or "not ready" for them. Shooting for the elite in each division he has become a Lineal Champion 4x.......4x, yet people say he isn't beating anyone. How do you become Lineal at all, let alone 4x by fighting no one. I've begged for ignorant fans to tell me who it is in each division that Crawford was supposed to fight that were better than the guys he beat as he ran through the division..... That's when they just to bringing up names from previous eras like somehow, Crawford is suppose to fight a Tommy Hearns or Sugar Ray...

    Crawford deserves A LOT more respect than what he gets on this board and from many others not on the board. It's pure ignorance to suggest he isn't one of the best to ever do it, when he is clearly the best in the current era. So are we suggesting that the last 10/15 years, nothing but bums have been participating in this sport? It's pure ignorance.

    Which makes the statement that much more ignorant and idiotic......

    Must be living a pathetic life to spend any ounce of energy hating a man who doesn't even know you exist.....

    I would love to know Crawford's weight cutting process. We know he eats them SNACs so I wouldn't be surprised if it was by less than legit means. Guy will probably be on some super scooby SNACs to compete against Canelo's special mexican beef recipe.

    I’ll still rate Usyk over Crawford should Crawford win. I actually think Crawford is going to win. It’s clear that Canelo is on the downside now. He hasn’t looked great in a few fights and hasn’t had a stoppage win in years. Last night he looked bad, for him.
    However it will be the signature win Crawford needs on his resume.
    Crawford UD 12 over Canelo my prediction. 8-4 but we will see. Looking forward to it.

    Crawford's never failed a drug test, nor refused one. Your ignorant claims of him doing something unnatural makes you sound like an emotional idiot.

    You won't find a single interview with anyone who's ever worked with Crawford question his physicality and hard work in the gym. He has 2 nutritionists on his staff. Doesn't smoke, drink, eat pork or red meat.......... Spending even a second hating a man that doesn't know you exist is more than too much time wasted on it.

    I can see the Canelo vs. Crawford fight playing out like the Canelo vs. Khan fight. Basically, Bud looks sensational for a few rounds but then gets caught by a heavy shot. Promoters seem to have forgotten that weight classes exist for a reason. I still think Usyk is above him P4P, even if he wins. Usyk gave up more weight when he beat Joshua, Fury and Dubois.

    Spence was his only decent A-grade win, as spectacular as it was, and he's done absolutely nothing since apart from a lukewarm close decision against a fairly limited Madrimov, basking in that Spence win for 2 years knocks him down the P4P for me, too inactive.

    Inoue has beaten multiple multiple-belt holders and fought 6 times since Bud fought Spence; the only thing that works against Inoue is that he's not from the US. If Inoue were from inner-city Chicago, then he'd be comfortably sitting at the top of the P4P rankings for a lot of US fans.

    Was watching him beating the **** out of Spence and it was such a lovely sight and performance.

    Talent wise he might be the best but I have Usyk at one cause he's beating much bigger guys and he's doing it on the road plus he's Hella skilled too.

    Inoue is second for me he's a once in a generation type of fighter.

    Where do you rank Canelo, if he wins the fight?

    Not much higher. I will still rate it as very good, more than most, but Crawford is taking the risk

    I think Crawford has a decent chance against ginger nuts who has gotten pretty one dimensional and has clearly slowed down. The big question is how much of ginger's bodyshots he can take.

    But yeah a win over the undisputed at 168 would make Crawford p4p #1 definitely.

    Other fighters, Bivol comes to mind, got a lot of credit for beating a highly ranked, smaller fighter who took the risk.
