    No, God no.

    It's one of the least dangerous fights he's ever taken.

    not interesting.
    Canelo fighting guys from multiple divisions below makes his fights more like exhibition bouts than prize fighting
    Canelo's moneymay era

    Yeah, that's my point, plenty @ 154 that are better fights for Bud - if not as lucrative of course!

    Was just coming here to post "let's go", until I realized It's in Vegas. Still excited for Bud, but I was hoping It would be in Riyadh.

    At 168??? Jesus Christ better be at ringside to take Crawford's punched - out soul home to the ancestors.

    Canelo hasn't 'wrecked' folks lately because he's fighting big dudes that don't feel the power. Crawford is **** out of luck here. I will tip my hat to TC, he's got granite balls to move up so far in weight.

    I like it. Canelo is not a big fighter at all. It's gonna be competitive. Canelo close UD.

    I dont think Crawford is doing this just for money. I legitimately believe he will make this his last fight and will put everything into it. Crawford is a phenomenal fighter but, like you, I cant see Canelo losing this.

    Crawford wins this one.

    Did he recently have surgery?

    Why wait till September 2025 why not 2026 instead? No reason to wait so long.

    Seems most people still underestimate how far Canelo has slipped. I would have thought Mungia going the distance in a competitive fight then getting 1 punch knocked out by a french cab driver would have made it obvious. Canelo is B level these days. All he has over Crawford is power.

    When Crawford loses your description of Canelos decline will make the loss even worse. As good as Bud is, in order to get the decison against Canelo he'd have to completely dominate for at least 9 rounds, which isn't going to happen

    Crawford 169.8 - Madrimov 168.6

    A very lean 169.8

    Clenelo 178-180

    GGG average fight night weight 170

    Crawford 74'' reach

    Clenelo 70.5'' reach

    GGG 70'' reach

    Up at 168 Crawford will not weigh 169.8

    Good chance Crawford does get stopped as he will try winning the fight unlike that coward Charlo who just showed up to survive and collect a pay check.

    Probably but if its a controversial decision loss, Bud will come out looking good. I don't rate this version of Canelo at all, so I think Bud has the ability to put it on him IF he shows up to fight rather than survive.

    Canelo still has a cast iron chinned and KO power 2 weight classes above Crawford. He's the #1 super middleweight, frame isn't all that. Crawford can't hurt Canelo like Usyk could hurt Fury and aj
