    Crawford barely world level?

    Trolling like that is barely worth responding to.

    Yeah, he looked regular at 154, but now he's not even going up to 160, he's going up to 168 to fight a guy who has knocked out elite guys at 175. Too many people are overlooking just how much of a jump in weight and size this fight actually is. The Callum Smith fight was physical; he punched his tricep out of place and punched him all over the ring. Smith looked like he'd been in a car crash and was systematically walked down for 12 rounds.

    If Bud did to Madrimov what he did to Spence, I would give him a better chance at bullying Canelo. I honestly think 154 was his weight ceiling; it was his 4th weight class, and he's now moving up another 2 divisions after having just one fight there? Zero chance he bullies Canelo.

    Tszyu and Zerafa both man handled Horn as well. Horn's only good performance was against an old Pacquiao and most people thought that he lost that fight.

    Hilarious that Rushton is now Zerafa's head trainer.

    You think I’m talking about Crawford? Did you read the post I was responding to? I am obviously talking about Jeff Horn….

    Raul Marquez said Canelo and Crawford both debuted at around the same weight and says they are both naturally the same size. Yeah Canelo lifted some weights but thats just body building isn't it? It doesn't really mean anything. Especially since Canelo is not even a rough or physical fighter.

    First off Canelo turned pro at 15 years old.
    There are different body types as well Crawford is obviously a pretty lean guy where Canelo is more stocky and better suited to a higher weight class. Agreed Canelo is not a rough fighter so it does show that he has an elite skill set and he backs himself which is why 90% of boxing is mental. A lot of weight bullies stay at lower weights because they are not confident in their ability to fight bigger guys.

    Not obviously. Read your post. It is poorly worded and sounds like you are referring to Crawford. Glad to hear you aren't.

    Yeah but I just checked and even when Crawford was around 20 and Canelo was around 20 they were still both weighing near 140 and less than 10 pounds apart around the same age. Canelo weighed 149 against Matthew Hatton at 21 and Crawford weighed 146 against Corey Sommerville at 22 for example.

    Raul Marquez is right Canelo and Crawford both started out nearly the identical size as the other.

    Yeah they might've started the same but different body types grow differently. Tim Bradley and Andre Ward fought as amateurs.

    At age 21 and age 22 they are on record for weighing 3 pounds apart! 3 pounds!

    Canelo might be bigger than Crawford now but thats just body building. Just because he lifted more weights than Crawford that doesn't make him the bigger guy just the guy with more muscles
