    Bud isn’t going to 168.

    There are so many more meaningful fights to be made than dragging a guy 3 weight classes up. Crawford has legacy if he unify 154. Canelo has Bivol rematch or few young guns at 168.

    Let this stupid talk of them fighting at 168 die

    No. Young Canelo that had good handspeed was fun to watch but the Canelo that traded that speed for power is a worse fighter. At times now he almost looks like a fighter that can't pull the trigger because he can see the opportunities but doesn't have the speed anymore because he added so much bulk. He is less entertaining to me now.

    I'd rather see Charlo/Crawford at 154 than Crawford at 168 against Canelo.

    Sure. Yeah, its a big weight jump but if Crawford sticks and moves all night, he can beat him. I think it just depends if he can avoid or take Canelos shots.

    Pound for pound #1 vs #3 -#5?
    Sure why not - it will sell well anyway.
    If Crawford is out matched - he will still come to fight. I don’t think it’s an act with bud, like it ended up being for Mell.

    Excited, not particularly, but more interesting than most fights out there. Let’s be honest there isn’t a whole lot of exciting fights out there right now, but I am glad more guys are trying to go for undisputed championship so I will credit that. I would watch the ppv if Canelo and Crawford fought though.

    I'm in the minority here but I would be drooling over this one. Just have huge faith in Bud's skills and I get Pacquaio vibes in terms being able to jump up in weight and beat bigger guys.

    Not interested in the slightest and goofy fans and media need to stop smoking dope thinking because bud beat Errol Spence that he can whoop everybody 147-168.

    When you have to move a fighter up three weight classes in order to make a big fight, that tells you how horridly bad the sport of boxing has become.
