Can Terence Crawford do better than Billy Joe Saunders

I think he can, I even think Bud can beat him. Canelo is past his best, Bud is big at his weight and Bud's style is problematic for him which is why Canelo priced himself out of the fight. So I don't think we see this fight, because Canelo isn't going to risk it.

 

Canelo is a big puncher but he’s still been more of an accumulation guy.

Crawford is taller, longer and has a build that could accommodate the weight.

He still looks super lean at 154. Could easily go up to 168.

Canelo seems to have seen better days

 

Personally, I don't think Crawford would be able to cope with Canelo's adjusted 'cutting down the tree' style - how does Crawford cope getting battered in the arms, even if Canelo doesn't connect clean?

Bud might have success and look good for a few rounds, and his long reach might help keep Canelo at bay, but Canelo is going ta batter those arms and punch through Bud and I can't see how he could weather that, and will have leaden arms and broken body by the championship rounds.

Even this Canelo in decline has too much IQ and is too hard to hit for Bud IMO

 

Plus Bud is old too. Can he really cope with the pressure of a bigger man at the age of 36?

 

Floyd was 2 weight classes older than Canelo w brittle hands and was 35-36 yrs old when he fought Canelo. Just because Crawford hasnt fought on the backfoot, like he did against Postol, doesnt mean he cant do it. And, by the way, Floyd DID NOT fight backing up. He stood and traded and he's smaller and less powerful than Crawford.

You can have a disagreement and an opinion but your reasoning dont make sense. Help me out here

 

I say he stops him late after he eventually figured him out which was not hard to do. Also Saunders had very low heart and Bud can definitely make him quit.
