    Canelo-Crawford would be a terrible fight pimp, one that might push me off the Canelo train if it were to happen.

    I don’t think it would be a terrible fight.. although I prefer Crawford at least wet his feet at junior middle or middle first against the likes of Charlo or Castano. If he blew Madrimov away.. it’s a fight that could happen since Canelo is the cash cow.
    Similar to Inoue vs Tank.. I would prefer Inoue at least have fought at feather or super feather first. I just don’t get why anyone would demand Inoue or Crawford to do so.

    As of where they are now, I give both Inoue nor Crawford a chance to win.

    There's too much of a weight gap, even if Crawford were to blow through Madrimov. If Canelo were to choose Crawford over Benevidez that would confirm to me that he's ducking Benevidez and wants no part of him.

    I would have to see Inoue at least move up to 130, and by that time Tank would probably be fighting at 140 anyways. Both fights make no sense to me pincai.

    I agree about Canelo-Benavidez. That’s the fight everybody wants to see. Maybe Saudi can throw above 100M to Canelo to get him to sign. But I don’t necessary agree that Crawford cannot match Canelo.. maybe not now as you said, but I think body dimension wise Crawford can match Canelo. He has the height and length. This is similar to Oscar vs Tito. Oscar starts at 130, Tito starts at 147. But Oscar has the height and length to compete at 147.
    Similarly Crawford and Canelo starts at 135 and 147 respectively. Both were young and huge at the weight at the time. At most they are naturally 2 weight class apart.. very similar to Leonard Hagler as well.

    On the other hand, not making excuse about Inoue vs Tank.. Inoue started at fly.. Tank started at superfeather. That is 5 division apart. They can still fight, I just don’t like the idea of somebody demand it!

    De la hoya had a big frame you can tell he was going to go up multiple divisions from the get-go which he did. In a span of 5 years he already moved up 4 divisions, but we saw that De LA Hoya was no MW real fast, the same way we will see Crawford is no SMW either.

    I'd rather see Crawford fight guys like boots, Fundora or Charlo, and Canelo fight Benevidez. Fights that matter within their own divisions. Plus Canelo already said Crawford was too small, I would hope as a Canelo fan that he'd keep his word and not fight Crawford, otherwise I'd have to tell Canelo as a fan to "Get the **** outta here" with that bull ****.

    Bro they’re already discrediting Shakur, it’s not worth it for Tank to take that risk. Let Shakur build his resume up more and then it will be a super fight and Tank can get his full due.

    Yeah if Shakur beats Loma I don’t mind seeing that right now though Shakur needs a big win because no one would give tank credit after the de Los Santos performance.

    Tank should fight Fury. And Usyk. At the same time.
