Crawford is going to produce one of the best displays of pure boxing

Crawford much more skilled than canelo Bud is better everywhere only disadvantages is power and size that isnt enough to beat bud

Crawford is going to outbox him make him look silly in there trust me

 

Rewind 23 years ago:

Forrest is much more skilled than Mayorga. Viper is better everywhere only disadvantages is power and size that isnt enough to beat Forrest

Forrest is going to outbox Mayorga, make him look silly in there trust me

 

Size is too important in boxing. He will look like a rag doll

 

This will not age well

 

Crawford is getting a beating on Saturday night. Dumb fight waste of time for both fighters

 

A money grab fight. They will make a good purse. That's the only sense of this fight.

 

Canelo himself is a JWW imo.

I’m picking Crawford UD.

 

Motherf... that was 23 years ago!

Oh my grey hair!

 

I think it would be fair to compare how Charlo moved up and got bullied around by Canelo despite having a height and reach advantage.

Crawford is a skilled fighter and he does have good power, but we don't know how his power carries up, especially to 168. If he can't discourage Canelo, who has a very sturdy chin, he's going to be spending a lot of time moving backwards and getting stalked like Charlo did.

But then again, there is a blueprint to beat Canelo and Canelo is no longer in his prime. Neither guy are to be honest. Canelo hasn't challenged himself in years and that could be a problem. Bivol showed that with some sharp counters, you can discourage Canelo and make him doubt himself and that was a prime Canelo.

I think it will be a close fight, with Canelo winning the earlier rounds and Crawford having some success late when Canelo slows a bit. I see a 8-4 or 7-5 type of fight with Canelo winning. Even if if lose more rounds, the judges are on his side to give him the victory.

 

Bivol throws volume too tho. Crawford isn’t a one punch guy but he doesn’t throw combinations like Bivol.

 

Hes what now?

 

Agree, except it's likely going to be a boring decision win, somewhat similar to Bud's Postol approach. If Canelo will not be able to dominate, he will likely do his Bivol approach or like Loma's initial one vs Teo. Crawford is the more ambitious, "fresher", and hungrier fighter, while Alvarez is less prideful now, lowly motivated, and lower killer instinct, but smart enough to not let himself get KO'ed.

 

Hold on....need my reading glasses...

 

Canelo hasn’t been able to make 140 since before he hit puberty. Canelo was killing himself to make 154 for years and was even fairly tight at 160 (his best weight imo), he’s been a healthily sized SMW for the better part of a decade now. To say that he’s a super-lightweight is frankly absurd.

 

Kinda what I'm thinking. But hoping TC shocks the world. Hope all is well with you Pimp!
