    Canelo looked really flat footed this fight, and it definitely hurt him.

    Bruh I hate the term weight bully if you make the weight consistently and never miss then its impossible to be a weight bully. Terence has never missed weight once so he cant be a weight bully, also you speak as if he was a huge welterweight, he was a normal sized welter, remember he bulked up for this fight, hes an undersized super middle in all honesty.

    Errol was actually the bigger guy in their fight.

    It was wild to me all the people claiming it was going to be impossible for Bud to win because Canelo was so much bigger. Like, can they not check BoxRec? Bud is an inch and a half taller and has over 4 inches of reach on Canelo. Dude walks around in real life at over 180 pounds.

    American fighters have turned weight bullying into a science. Bud stayed at Welter the longest and that's at least 33 pounds down from his walk around weight. Disgusting. He could have been fighting at 154 or 160 for most of his career. Instead, he was happy to bully nobodies and past it guys at 147 for years. He could have fought Triple G!

    Y
    You dudes are girls. Weight bully is one of the softest terms ever created. Anyway, Crawford started his career at 135. He is not a big guy. Canelo is even small for 168.

    None of this changes how embarrassing it is that he looked barely any smaller than a guy that was 3 weight classes above him.

    It is even softer that a near-canelo sized guy has been spending all this time at 135 and 147 lmao

    He bulked up, like, you know, a fighter whose going up in weight would? At welter probably rehydrated like 10 pounds, thats not a lot of weight at all. So that tells us that he was not this huge guy your making him out to be, also body composition is different, you can be the same height and weight and still be smaller.

    Terence does not walk around at 180 man. He dont even walk in the 170s, hes in the 160s but he bulked up for this fight, he did it correctly this does not make him a weight bully.

    He bulked up 3 weight classes in a year? Ok. Also Im pretty sure Crawford himself said he walked around in 180s.

    Where did you get this 180 pound figure from?

    A pro athlete can definitely at like 14 pounds in a year correctly.

    Its not 14 lbs, no one fights at the limit of the weight class anymore, 168 Canelo is twice as big as he was in 147 (and he was big at 147 as well) and you’re telling me a natural WW can go from that to 168 Canelo within a year?
