    Crawford looked amazing when he beat Canelo. How do you see that version of Bud handle against two unbeaten Super Middleweights Joe Calzaghe and Andre Ward had he fought them? Would he have a good shot to beat at least one of them or would they both be too much for Bud?

    Maybe Calzaghe but Ward I don't think so.

    Canelo ain’t no Calzaghe or Ward..

    They are natural 168-175 lb fighters, not blown up like Nelo, and showed more diversity in their skillset throughout their careers IMO.

    Calzaghe would have schooled Canelo worse than Crawford.

    Like Bivol, Calzaghe's style is a very tricky one for Crawford to figure out.

    Crawford would have had a better chance against Ward than Calzaghe IMO but still loses.

    Canelo is garbage he didn't throw a single jab.

    No surprise even Amir Khan took most rounds off him before the bodyshots wilted him.

    Calm down
