    After what we saw last night, do we reckon Canelo and Crawford should rematch each other? It was a pretty fun fight and a close one as well. Or should the two of them just retire already?

    IMO some these rematches are holding divisions back a bit so not sure if it's a good idea.

    And it wouldn't surprise me if a rematch lead to a trilogy.

    I see no reason for a rematch.

    No interest, don't need to see this one again

    Though there isn't an obvious number 1 contender in the division

    Nah, it was extremely clear that crawford can beat canelo whenever he wants

    Something absolutely suprising to me, tbh

    10-2 fights dont usually warrant rematches.

    Generally I'm against rematches.. but I had this fight very close, I guess much closer than the general consensus going off the RBR. I'd like to see a rematch, why not... even though I think in a rematch Crawford just wins wider, because Canelo's reflexes are deteriorating sharply with every fight he takes, while Crawford is aging more gracefully.

    But I wouldn't be mad at a rematch.

    I think it would be the same outcome but there isn't really much threatening challengers in 160 and 168.

    Sheeraz is a hype job of the highest order, along with the Charlo brothers. However, there might be some money in either fight even if adds f*** all to Crawford's legacy.

    Iglesias has some talent but he needs to do a lot more to warrant such a fight.

    Crawford's toughest (but realistic enough) fight would probably be at 175 against one of the top guys. But, that just feels pretty far-fetched to me especially going up against a naturally much bigger monster in Benavidez, on top of Bivol who is also bigger but has a very tricky style. Can't forget Beterbiev either.

    Canelo will get a worse beating.

    Crawford clearly won
    Canelo knows it & didn’t press for it in his interview.
    His days among the best are over.
    Back to the berlangas & Jaime Munguía Tecate can crushing circuit….

    Why do you hate the Charlo twins so much? And how are they hype-jobs when one is a former undisputed world champion and the other is a two-weight world champion? Both have proven themselves as quality, world-level operators, they're pretty far away from being hype jobs.

    Canelo does exactly the same in every fight. He can't adapt. I'd watch it though.

    Super-Middleweight is dead, there is nothing of note going on there. Might as well have the rematch.

    I am on the fence. Because it's 2 big names and it might be another good fight.
