    Bud is a faster more consistent counter puncher.

    Very interesting match up i might slightly lean to Nunn due to his size but Crawford would be a very live dog.

    He is not he might be more cerbal then Nunn but at 160 he most certainly is not faster then a Nunn.
    And how could he be if he started at 135lb you think he is going to retain ALL of his speed with THIRTY additional pounds then your not that smart.

    Bud isn't a fraction as fast as Roy. How old are you?

    I doubt this guy has seen any fights of a prime Nunn.

    And you know I love watching Bud at work because he is so intelligent and skilled but to match him up against a fast 6'2 southpaw at MIDDLEWEIGHT is just stupid.

    What part of Nunns style would you ever mistake for a Canelo?
    Canelo a southpaw? No.
    Canelo as fast? No.
    Canelo as tall? No.

    What exactly are the similarities between Nunn and Canelo?

    Bud might have his hands full against a prime Second to Nunn, especially if its the version that outclassed Frank Tate. Nunn was a supremely gifted southpaw, slippery as oil and very quick second only to prime Roy Jones Jr. His footwork and range would trouble Crawford greatly.

    Nunn was erratic at 168.

    At times but against who? He beat many fighters at that weight.

    Why don't you actually WATCH the fighters before making assumptions?

    If Canelo fought Kalambay at middleweight who would you pick and WHY?
