    Bud, who ducked a lot of competition, against GGG who past prime clearly beat Canelo. Bud is overrated for the wrong reasons.

    G wins via late tko or maybe ud, after losing a couple of the early rounds.

    G too big + too good.

    If they were closer in size Id pick Bud though. But as is I think G would be too imposing.

    Peak GGG would bludgeon Crawford at 160. It'd be brutal.

    Gotta go with the more proven guy at the middle weights, but I don't think it would be as easy as many think

    Probably a late stoppage
    P4p I'd pick bud

    GGG is not bigger than Crawford. Crawford weighed 169.8lbs for his 154 DEBUT, that's 0.2 ounces less than GGG's very consistent average fight night weight and more than what GGG weighed vs Proksa and Rosado.

    That being said, GGG would win via violent KO. Crawford has barely fought any legit bangers his own size, let alone a KO machine MW with freakish power for their size. Madrimov would be the closest but, whilst talented and powerful, is not near GGG's level.

    Crawford posseses the skills to make it competitive and win some rounds but GGG is just too powerful, relentless, high volume and durable and tough and plenty skilled himself and he would catch him at some point and take him out. Bad match up for Crawford

    GGG gives Crawford a dose that would make him wish he was born a woman.

    Nah, I don't see Bud being pummeled by that jab all fight long like David. Bud adapts very well. I don't see him winning, but I don't see him taking a prolonged beating like David did either. I think Bud looks good until G steps it up and finishes it quickly.

    Bud would experience lost time, reckon he'll beat Canelo though.
