    Bud.

    Don't even think it's particularly close, plus haven't we had this type of discussion between these 2 about 10 times before? :D

    Canelo is not what i would classify as technical. He is slow footed, using his chin and the judges as his greatest weapons. He throws power punches in single shots, which he can land through counterpunching ability, which he does possess, and his ability to take shots.

    He used to fight with lots of speed and combinations, I think he's just aging. He was never as good as Crawford technically though.

    Let me put this eloquently.

    Crawford is a bum but Canelo is an even bigger bum

    Canelo shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Bud.

    Canelo's has lost 4 times. Crawford, none.

    Impossible to say, since they both excel at different things.

    You guys are underestimating Canelo. Canelo isn’t even a huge puncher. He just has perfect timing. You can’t beat a guy like GGG just throwing single shots.
