VIDEO: Can Crawford do the Impossible?

How's it the impossible? Usyk has beaten men with much bigger height and weight advantage. The circus and hyperbole around this is nonsense

 

lol Usyk is quite clearly top of this stupid concept. he is beating men much taller and heavier than him, as well as younger. stop talking nonsense

 

I'm pulling for Crawford but as I've previously said I have no confidence in my choice

 

I thought Canelo looked pretty bad in his last fight. I give Crawford a good chance of winning.
I don't know who is the favorite to win, but I hope its a fight so good that it puts boxing back in people's radar.
With this being on Netflix for everyone to see, it will be a huge set back for the sport if they put on a stinker of a fight.

 

Assuming this is a legitimate fight and not a fixed PPV money grab, and that might be a big assumption ,I'd say Bud's only chance to stay upright is if Canelo has slid enough to where he could at least go the distance. 10 years ago a prime Crawford at 28 was defending the lightweight title, 8 years ago he was defending the 140 pound title. Now at 38 ,in a division he's never set foot in he's going to beat a 168 pound champion? If this is a real fight I see Canelo ko'ing him inside 5 rounds.
Footnote:
Does anyone think Bud's been having contaminated beef for dinner?

 

I love your videos but I will still say this is not an impossible task for Crawford, he and Canelo are the same size, maybe Crawford has even caught up with him, the quality is the same and anything is possible...

 

Canelo was 172lb against Trout…13 years ago at the age of 23. The weight that Crawford is now at the age of 38. The difference in size is beyond a level.

That said, how much mileage has taken a toll on Canelo is the biggest factor. He reminds me so much of an older Pacquiao in terms of his approach to boxing now

 

Good vid, Rummy, for a guy who DKSAB! The thing you didn’t mention is that in order for Crawford to win, he has to use his legs to avoid big shots from Canelo, but he MUST do it in a way that doesn’t LOOK like he’s running! He will lose on points (in Canelo’s hometown essentially) if he is too defensive-minded, and we all know this. So Crawford has to avoid big shots, but also engage enough to look like the agressor. Tough task to do both. My prediction is Crawford on points, but gets robbed and given a draw.

 

@Rumsfeld Bud really outclassed Canelo. To much speed of feet, speed of hand, guile on the inside and outside. Ring IQ on display so much so Canelo hit a lot of air and when he was able to touch Crawford could not hit him flush whereas Crawford had some venom on his variety of punches letting Canelo know he better not step out of line. Crawford’s physical strength also underestimated.

 

Crawford was Masterful and outclassed Canelo.
