Thats real. And people still hating on him.
Porter was overhyped a lot but he always lost against elite rivals, was dropped by Broner in 147 (LOL), and got a gift against Julio Díaz I when he was young.
He has not good power, really.
An old Kovalev (former P4P fighter), with advantage un weight and with serious power is better win than Porter, with 18 months of inactivity.
Crawford resume is one of the worst that I remember in P4P fighters. And the guy is 34 years old.
It's time to be real and stop commenting with hate.
Crawford has all the media of ESPN overhyping him.
The truth is he never faced a good élite fighter and he is 34 years old. His career at this moment is pretty meh.
Broner was champion at 130,135, 140 and 147. So...
Crawford, it's time to fight with the élite.
Spence, then Charlo, Castaño, or Tzyu in 154.
And a fight in 160... if people said is easy win 4 or 5 titles like Canelo want to do.

Canelo ruined his win over Kovalev with an s-side weight clause. It would not have been in the contract if it didn’t provide a benefit. Despite what the boxing geniuses here might think, the brain trust in Canelo’s camp demanded a hydration clause for a reason.

Man, look this vídeo.
Ducking the question again, I'll answer your question when you answer mine. You don't get to answer a question with another question.
Hahaha man, If canelo were crawford i would Say the same.
I respect the black fighters a lot, just this is the truth.
If Crawford beat Spence and then he wins a legit belt in 154 or 160, he can be in the mix of be #1.
Be objective man.
Valdez and Munduia are mexicans but their resume is trash, except Berchelt in Valdez resume
Nobody cares that he beat Kovalev.
The fact that he PICKED him as an opponent is what is so disgusting and despicable for the so called face of boxing.
You do see the hypocrisy right?
Imagine if Bud had gone up to 154 to fight Patrick Texieria, or a has been completely washed fighter like Lara even, gotten the win, and called himself a 4 division champion? The whole boxing world, and you, would call it a ridiculous cherry pick and just an easy way of him getting out of fighting the top guys at 147 like Spence, Porter, Thurman. But because it's canelo, he gets witness protection because he doesn't have the wrong complexion.
Don't lie to yourself, Bud would have gotten demolished by the media for doing the same.
An old Lara is way better than most of rivals that Crawford has faced. And I think an actual Lara can beat Terrence in 160.
Man, nobody in history beat the #1 in all the divisions, but Canelo has faced a lot of Big names .
It's a fact and I know it hurts but Canelo at 23 years old had better rivals faced than Crawford at 34 years old.
I like Crawford he is very good, great fighters, but he likes the easy way.
I want to see him fight against the lions for first time in his career.
Name one fighter of élite that Crawford faced?

This is what I was referring to.
I agree the Canelo who faced Floyd Mayweather was not prime, atleast not clearly as sharp as the Canelo of today.
Bro, the link is wrong.
Floyd Mayweather never surprised his opponents, with short notices. At elite level, what I am stating is? There was just no need for it. Every little variable at this level, will have a affect on a fighter 'And I still think the fast turnover for Kovalev effected his performance'. At the advance stage of his career, and coming off the back of a tough fight 'You need to give fighters optimal time to recover, and then devise a specific training camp'. There was absolutely no reason, why Canelo Alvarez could grant Kovalev the adequate time prepare.
I am not stating that Kovalev would of won, but he would of given a better effort. Deep down you know, all the things I am saying are correct.
I see that you also refused to acknowledged Callum Smith's situation, he was only given a 4 week notice before fighting Alvarez.
I get it, you are a big supporter of Canelo Alvarez, but you also for you own dignity have to question some of his ways as a champion. I am not making any of this up, or making a issue out of nothing 'There are other people out there in the world of boxing, who also validate and share some of my issues'.
Lol.
What Floyd did it against Juan Manuel Márquez was 10 times worst.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVn0XAb3Ibc
Kovalev said it was not a hard fight, only was one round.
This was a good win.
People, stop with the lies.
Kovalev weighed the same vs Canelo than Yarde and Eleider Alvarez.
Kovalev, himself said this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVn0XAb3Ibc
So, Floyd don't deserve has much crédit because he fought against a pre-prime and drained Canelo?
Kovalev was.not weith drained, the fight was in 175, no catchweight.

Kovalev after a great, and super super brutal fight.
Lol
Did you see the fight?
Kovalev controlled all the rounds excepto the 8.
He won the fight.jabbing, and the KO was by a jab (a prove that Kovalev power was intact).
The odds were not much in the favor of Canelo.
Those excuses are pathetic...
Kovalev was heavier and taller.
And if you think that fight against an old fighter is easy, look, Charlo and Andrade don't want a fight vs Golovkin.
And he is older now that the Kova that was in the ring with Alvarez.
You are a hater.

By the organisms bro, he was the #1 in ifb ...
Good points, is at least debatible...
But people is talking like Canelo fought against a zombie, and nobody, an old Kovalev was not a bad rival, and Kovalev did a better job than Planta, Smith, and Sounders in their prime, because Kovalev was a great fighter.
Is like Inoue vs old Donaire, but Donaire is the same frame weight than Inoue. But the fight was brutal.
It was the WBO but c’mon man, those ranking hold no weight whatsoever. By that logic Trevor Bryan is the #1 HW in the world. :lol1: You can’t seriously be going off ABC ratings. Yarde was nowhere near a top 10 light heavyweight based on who he had fought.
Kovalev was past his best but still a very capable champion. It was a very good win IMO, as was Crawford beating Porter.
A right hand across the head? The bodyshots just sealed the deal on a Kovalev that was already past his prime years before Canelo ever got in the ring with him.
You truly are a puppet.
Not to mention Ward was able to do that against the prime KRUSHER, not the bum of a shell of a fighter than Canelo faced. Two completely different opponents. Don't ever compare Canelo's accomplishments to Andre Ward's EVER. Canelo picked Kovalev because he was the weakest link at 175, Ward moved up because Kov was the boogeyman at the time that all his haters told him to fight. Fighters like Ward and Crawford are cut from a different cloth from Canelo, you'll never see Canelo fight anyone because the haters told him he couldn't beat, everyone Canelo faces is hand picked.
Canelo ruined his win over Kovalev with an s-side weight clause. It would not have been in the contract if it didn’t provide a benefit. Despite what the boxing geniuses here might think, the brain trust in Canelo’s camp demanded a hydration clause for a reason.
Was he? Ranked top 10 by who? I’m pretty sure Ring, TBRB, ESPN etc never had him too 10.
Yarde hadn’t beaten ANYONE.
Kovalev was still a good win, but Yarde is trash.
It’s pretty close IMO between Canelo’s W over Kovalev and Crawford’s win over Porter. Kovalev was a better fighter than Porter prime for prime but the Porter that Crawford beat was a lot closer to his prime than the Kovalev that Canelo beat. Canelo was moving up from 160 though you have to factor that in. It depends what you value more, both very good wins from my perspective,

stop with the excuses...
Kovalev said that he was in a good shape, and he was not drained, he weighed the same weight than the fights against Alvarez and Yarde.
Nope, I said that Yarde was in the top-10 of the division when he faced Kovalev.
Porter is way better than Yarde, my point is that an old Kovalev was a better win than Porter vs Crawford.

Name 1 élite fighter that Bud faced?
Crawford never fought with a live dog in his whole career. Period.
You're ducking the question the same way Canelo ducks dangerous opponents
So you’re saying Porter isn’t a top 10 fighter but Yarde is?
C’mon man. Porter is a 2x World Champion whilst Yarde has fallen short at domestic level. :lol1:
Nope, I said that Yarde was in the top-10 of the division when he faced Kovalev.
