    I'm not sure.

    Crawford didn't look great at 154 and adding another 14 lbs will make it even more difficult.

    On the other hand, Crawford is an ATG, he could put on a clinic like Floyd vs Canelo.

    Very little chance I'd say. But Bud could prove me wrong and I'd happily see it if his excellency can make it happen.

    I think he has a chance against Canelo. Styles make fights and Madrimov is nothing like Canelo so you can't really compare.

    The weight is a massive factor, not just how big Canelo is but can Bud be as quick and mobile for 12 rounds because he won't have the pop to stop Canelo coming.

    No and I think even 160 would be a stretch.

    No, every time this fight is mentioned I shake my head and roll my eyes.

    Not for me. Don't think his gas tank will hold up at a higher weight.

    Turki getting face on because he can’t just buy Canelo using someone else’s money like he’s done with everyone else.

    His latest tweets including ‘I have changed my mind as I don’t want that anymore’ have made him sound quite unlikeable.

    Hahaha love to see it. Old Turki isn't used to people saying no to him is he?

    Good to see not everyone out there is willing to give up all pride and slurp this geezer off.

    He literally spends someone else's money and people act like he's doing it out of his own pocket or for the greater good of boxing.
