    After watching all four fighters the past weekend, leading up today, even if both were natural MWs, I don't think neither two would beat Canelo or GGG prime for prime. How I see it:

    Canelo vs Crawford: This fight would be similar to Lara, the only difference is this would be more of a war. What separates Crawford from Lara is that Crawford is more of a finisher, whereas Lara is more text book and defensive. The reason Lara was able to have so much successful against Canelo, was due to his jab, keeping distance, and superb defense. The reason Lara lost was due to the fact that he allowed Canelo to catch up in the second half. I think Crawford's willingness to trade with Canelo would be his downfall. Canelo has the superior defense, counterpunching, power, and timing, so I see Canelo catching Crawford and either sopping him or getting the decision. Crawford's defense is too leaky and since Gamboa, he has yet to fight a puncher with elite inside fighting and counterpunching (which Canelo has shown in the past).

    Canelo vs Spence: This would be similar to GGG vs Canelo 2, but I see Canelo having more success due to his counterpunching. Spence may be more athletic but he doesn't have the accuracy, jab, or textbook footwork that GGG has. Canelo would won this 8-4.

    GGG vs Crawford: Out of the two, I think Crawford would have a better chance against GGG than Spence due to styles. Crawford is the more athletic fighter compared to GGG but GGG would pressure Crawford and have Crawford against the ropes half the time during their fight. GGG has an exceptional jab is a tremendous inside from the inside and has game changing power. I actually think Crawford would be stopped in this fight due to the fact he doesn't like pressing (Porter showed this) and due to tp the fact he has a suspect Chin. Crawford would have to box from the outside and not trade to defeat GGG( which he wouldn't do ).

    Spence vs GGG:
    These two are fairly similar the only difference is Spence is more athletic whole GGG is more textbook. I see this beating a war on the inside with GGG winning due to the jab and his superior strength.

    Thoughts????

    What's a natural MW? Cos TC probably breaches 180 between fights these days.. but they get as low as humanly possible to maximise the grift for 'p4p' purposes ..

    If all 3 were the same size Crawford without a doubt would beat and clown ggg. Spence due to his style is probably a pick em with ggg.

    Canelo and GGG would beat the ****ing **** out of those two weight bully pussies.

    Canelo breaks both of their fragile ribs. Golovkin KOs both with either a full step in jab or that down hook forehead shot he does.

    **** yes. Crawford is far more complete than ggg he's a switch hitter who can bang and fight at more ranges than ggg can. He's also a better counter puncher as well.

    Crawford is naturally smaller than GGG and Canelo
