    I'll tune in but I don't like it. Canelo should be fighting Benavidez, and Bud should be unifying with Fundora or Murtazaliev (or could be defending against Vergil Ortiz).

    Zero reason for Bud to be jumping 2 weight classes when there's unfinished business at his own weight class.

    This one is just for the casuals, and so Turki can bring Canelo into Riyadh Season.

    That fight doesn't make much sense.

    This is all happening cause Turki wants to see it. Just like how Ngannou got a shot at the heavy weight belt . No one in their right mind would have paid for Ngannou. Turki pocket is so deep he paid for it. Same with this. Turki wants it and he is proving a point everyone has a price including Canelo ( who have said he doesn't need Turki).

    There is no way Crawford wins.

    Even if he can outbox Canelo for most of the fight, Bivol wiped the floor with Canelo and only won 115-113. Crawford will be 38, fighting not only his biggest, most durable opponent yet but also by far the most accomplished. This is too much to ask of Crawford. He has to be Sugar Ray Leonard level or better to pull it off

    Turki also claimed that Pitbull would be fighting Ryan before an agreement had been reached... I'll believe it when Ginger confirms it...

    I can't believe there's negativity for this fight. I'm looking forward to the contrast in styles between 2 top operators.

    Canelo is favourite but if Crawford can make it competitive, then I'm down for it. Both past prime so it has to be now.

    If Crawford wins he's the best of his generation imo, him or usyk, but I rate canelo higher than fury or Aj and make Crawford a big underdog

    Don't think he will win

    Heard a rumour that H.E. wants to buy some boxing message forums.

    I am fairly certain that Amir Khan had a better chance in his fight with Canelo.

    fair, but I'm mostly thinking of Crawford's age in this one.

    I thought Canelo already beat the Undisputed Jr middle champ recently...
