    Think he was exposed with Floyd back in 2013, that was the blueprint on how to beat Canelo. Fighters with educated jabs and good defensive skills always gave Canelo trouble throughout his career.

    Brook used to walk around at 190 lbs according to him.

    Its a great victory for Crawford for sure but what I will say is I don't think Canelo gives 2 F**** anymore. He made an absolute wad of cash on top of the empire he already has. He is healthy, lovely family, doing what he enjoys. He has won everything and has nothing to prove. You can tell he is just content, he even seemed happy for Crawford.

    Terence himself has said he walks around at that weight. You calling the man himself a liar?

    Here's him at 180 recently for this fight: https://boxingnews.com/crawford-over-180-pounds-sparks-canelo-fight-buzz/

    Here's him saying he's 180 way back in '23:

    Time and time again fighters that are flat footed get found out. You can't be flat footed. Even boxing masters like James Toney eventually lose to guys below their level for this. Toney was at times outworked cause he was just there all the time with no foot movement.

    Good movement is too important in boxing and it's proven once again. The top two fighters in the world, Crawford and Usyk can move their feet at a high level. Include Bivol there too. Ward was the best fighter in world before them and he also had elite footwork. The best fighter before that, Floyd, also elite foot work.

    Leonard, who held wins over the rest of the fab four was able to pull wins against two of them by mostly using his feet.

    Trainers need to stop letting their fighters get comfortable with being flatfooted.

    He's never been great adjusting mid fight and his legs are cooked

    I think a lot of his heart and hunger left him after the Plant fight.

    After the Bivol loss he stopped caring about legacy and was in the money straight cash out phase of his career

    Definitely his legacy was damaged beyond repair, that's for sure.
