    The Crawford fight was like Bivol 2.

    Canelo doesn't have the energy any longer to fight the way he needs to fight in order to be successful at his size.

    Great run but it looks like it's over.

    Canelo's gameplan was left hooks to the body which he didn't even fully commit to and a looping right hand.

    Nothing else. Not a single jab. Nothing. Pathetic.

    This is no Bivol 2. Bivol actually gave an enjoyable ass whooping. This was a snoozefest

    We could see from his last 4 fights that he is done.

    Homecoming in Mexico and then call it a day

    Canelo is great for the sport , he was man enough to risk all the belts for a great boxing night instead of sitting on them .

    Respect for him

    Canelo should retire. The Mexican fans will still pay for him. Canelo can still beat Berlanga caliber fighters.

    Canelo is an elite fighter who was always extremely popular and somewhat overrated. I have respect for him but thank God he was not gifted a draw (or even worse a win) tonight.

    Fair point. Bud is older so I'll give him a break.

    Clenelo has been exposed again. That's always a plus.

    Against the best?
    yeah it’s over

    he can still go on a Chavez like retirement tour & rake in another quarter of a billion dollars crushing Tecate Cans. Though.

    He's no longer a P4P level guy. And he was never on the level of a Crawford or an Usyk. A great fighter, but a clear class below the true all-timers.

    I agree. But the top level is past him now.

    Nah .i'm not giving him that one. He fought a welterweight. Don't care how good he is. That's not a big risk. If you are truly great, you crush him.
