If Crawford clearly defeats Canelo...

Usyk is not P4P 1 in my book. Even Bivol has a better achievement than Usyk when he defeated Beterbiev.

 

He is elite and probably the best smw since Mexican monster moved up, but 2021 Canelo beats this Canelo 8-4, 9-3.

 

why? what could 2021 version do that canelo cant today when he needs to?

 

2021 Canelo had much faster reflexes and better stamina. You really think 2025 Canelo and 2021 Canelo are similar?

 

i dont think his speed is much different. he just fights differently now, as the obvious top earner for the sport. there isnt the same urgency or motivation to go far and above in every fight. that doesnt mean hes incapable of doing what he once did, just means he has the option not to do it for every single challenge.
i think you will see a canelo more like the one you remember tonight. the circumstances call for it, and he knows it.

 

Still below Usyk. So, they will be 1 and 2. Usyk still has 2 wins against Fury and AJ, and Bud with only Canelo.

 

Overtakes.

 

Sure...for a time. In terms of greatness, Canelo is probably on the slide, plus I've never rated him that high as a Mexican. 'The best Mexican of all time' honeymoon of '21 has been and gone.

 

Only if he ko’s Canelo in spectacular fashion. His resume just isn’t nearly as strong as Usyks. Also Canelo has not just lost but he’s been dominated a few times, Bivol and Mayweather both put on clinics against him. So it’s not like he can’t be outboxed.
