Canelo looked like a mummified plodder against Scull and an Elite fighter like Crawford is going to capitalize off that but does that mean we're going to see another stinker in September?
I expect movement from Crawford after seeing how shot Canelo's legs are but hopefully Crawford mixes it up and stands in the pocket a little bit. He can't stand in there too much though Canelo's still a very strong and sturdy 168er.
Crawford will be slow and sluggish. He hasn’t fought in over a year and has never fought at 168 before. His body isn’t adjusted to cutting down to 168 and rehydrating back up. Crawford is a slow starter anyway but being out of the ring so long and being heavier than he’s used to means he’ll struggle to find his own rhythm, let alone start timing Canelo’s.
Too many Crawford fans have gotten their panties in a twist after Scull ran a half-marathon, but the difference is that Scull is 33 and a career-long super middleweight, Crawford is 37 and began his career at 135. If he tries dancing like Scull, he would gas out and lose a decision for being too negative.
Everybody’s been talking about how Crawford is a bad style for Canelo because he’s slick (which doesn’t make sense anyway because Canelo has beaten plenty of slick fighters) but neglect to mention that his two toughest fights were against pressure fighters who feinted him out of position and countered him in Porter and Madrimov. Crawford-Canelo is still a size-mismatch, don’t let a Cuban salsa class fool you into thinking it isn’t. because Alvarez doesn’t have convincing win over slicks
Matter of fact many think Alvarez lost to Trout and Erislandy

Never! Compared to Bud; Andrade was never that good. He was just your typical overrated and overhyped fighter.
He was never as good as Terence Bud Crawford is; Who actually knows how to fight.
On the night of the fight; Bud is gonna be stronger than a motherfucker! Just watch and see.
how I see it Scull didn’t fight to win and still took 5 rounds
TBud 7-5 Alvarez has a great chance of happening
I want to believe TC is doing this for legacy but at his age, it might be to cash out and have a solid excuse of why he didn't win. You can't blame him for moving up 2 divisions higher after looking like sh!t already in his last move up in weight.
I honestly don't think Canelo prepped too hard for Scull. He didn't feel a threat was there and came to collect a check putting on a mediocre performance. He's going to train for Crawford to make sure there is no upset. I think Crawford will have bit off more than he could chew and if he has ANY chance of winning, it won't be standing and trading with Canelo. He's going to work off hit and move and hope he can bank rds to get the decision. In all honestly, it's probably one of the first Crawford fights I'm not looking forward to watching, lol.
I think we should all give Crawford the benefit of the Doubt. I think his weight will tell the whole story.
I think if he comes in between 163-165 he's come to fight. If he comes in heavier than that I think he just added muscle/weight to survive.
And yes Canelo looked like trash his last time out but best believe Team Reynosa will have him in the best shape possible with the quick turn around in 4 months.
Crawford should have fought again after Madrimov I don't like that he's coning off another year and half layoff for this fight.
Crawford hasn't been very active in the last 7 years so maybe he's preserved a bit. He might be young 37. He looked prime against Spence that's for sure.
There's no such thing as a young 37 in this brutal sport Lmao.
I''d pick a younger Crawford over Canelo all day but his age and inactivity will do him in pretty bad here. Canelo's going to hurt him.
Let's be clear here. Canelo is shopworn, while Crawford is slightly past his prime, looking for easy marks for paydays.
I expect both to try to steal rounds shoeshining. Not take any chances. Bare minimum stuff. Just get to the check type of thing.
Saul is a 168 pounder with the dimensions of a welterweight
70.5" reach and 5 ft 7.5 tall
maybe I'm wrong and TBud will be undersized unable to take the power like Andrade VS Benavidez

He will employ hit and not be hit to the highest degree. He might overdo it, and whilst to bud he thinks he outpointed nelo to judges it mightve looked overly cautious and as if surviving rather than thriving
Bivol beat Canelo with footwork and the jab.
That's what TC is gonna try to do.
Canelo is just way too slow now.
I don't think either guy takes any risks. guarantee, it's not gonna live up to expectations.....many ways to outbox Alvarez
many had Trout and Erislandy beating him too
if it's a draw or either way type of fight, I see TBud getting the decision because the rematch would be huge
He is going to make history baby all the way! Crawford is the goods. Let Canelo come out strong and try to intimidate Bud. He will be eating a shit load of counters from him all night.
However, I will concede that a slower pace will favor Terence because I think he is the more accurate of the two punchers. However, if Canelo starts fast; T-Bud is going to tee off on him and fuck him up like he did Spence.
Size doesn't mean shit! I believe that many boxing experts and fans alike are underestimating Terence's overall: Power, durability and toughness here. Saul is a 168 pounder with the dimensions of a welterweight

Canelo is just too big for Crawford. Just like Bivol was too big for Canelo
Bivol didn't beat Canelo with size. He just outclassed him. Nobody mentioned size after Canelo beat a washed up Kovalev.
At any rate this is nowhere near the same thing as Canelo moving up to 175.
Floyd has already tapped that Canelo's ass and he was a year younger than Crawford was at 36 when he did it. While Bud is only a year older at 37.
Besides, Canelo and Crawford are practically the same age. So there is no youth advantage. Ultimately, the winner of this fight is going to come down to preparation, conditioning and will.
It's going go to come down to the man who wants it the most; The hungrier man. if Bud finds a way to back Canelo up then the fight is a wrap.
It's how Floyd defeated him. Money May rushed out into the center of that ring and met Alvarez head on while getting his punches off first. He even managed to push the naturally larger and stronger man off the back foot.
