Canelo is going to beat the hell out of Crawford. While I feel that Crawford is the better fighter, Canelo is too big and skillful. Just like Floyd, people are letting their personal feelings about Canelo overshadow his skillset. People are falling for the hype that this is some kind of 50-50 fight. This is going to turn into a Canelo type of fight after the 4th-5th round and then he is going to proceed to beat the crap out of Crawford.
Lol, so Crawford has been hiding in lower divisions for many years..only to get a fight with washed up badly damaged Spence?
Insted of fighting some killers at 154, 60, 168, 175?
Yeah, good one.
Shocked.
And I don`t see Crawford hurting Canelo.
Am I missing something, does anybody believe Crawford hits harder than Kovalev, GGG, Bivol?
- - I'd say Craw hits harder than Joke da Boxer.
Really, this fight is a Turki joke financed fight.

Canelo has not scored a KO in years. Crawford thinks Canelo is past it and wants a chance for a record payday so ....
Boxing fans can be suckers. The fight is in Las Vegas, meaning the $$$ fighter will win whether he deserves to or not. Who are the judges? Adalaide Byrd?
I would not be the house on Canelo, but maybe the car.
If Crawford can’t hurt Canelo early he has no shot.

Yes he has a chance, the skill gap is significant and Crawford isn't a fragile fighter, additionally Canelo is faded.
I'd say the skill gap isnt as wide as people make it out to be
I also don't care about the scul fight,.the guy was a spoiler and ran all night lost every round, that's not a blue print if you copy that then you lose a wide decision
Canelo has declined but even these bums he's been fighting he's dropped most of them, so he hits hard and has been delivering that power, he's not shot.
Crawford will have to stick and move and control range and that's NOT his style, never had been.
A ton of casuals have bought into the idea that crawford is so skilled and he's the same size as canelo, they don't get out of camp weight isnt fight night weight. Crawford wasn't cutting 35-40 pounds and coming in the 180s at 147, he 100 percent is smaller than canelo and his power ain't going to bother canelo. Canelo has hurt guys who are like 190 in the ring, when Crawford feels it then I suspect he backs off and fights very cautiously, check is already in the mail he ain't going out on his shield he will phone it in and try to last 12
Does Marvin Hagler have any wins over top fighters that weren't shopworn?
Or blown up lightweights and welterweights.
If Marvin was around today, he would be called a weight bully for fighting the likes of Duran.
Actually he'd have been written off as an exposed hype job for his two earlier losses before he was even champ.
Anything Can Happen In Boxing So Yes, Crawford Has a Shot. Canelo Is On The Decline. The Question Is, Will Crawford Be Able To Move Around The Ring And Counter Successfully. Crawford Cannot Get Into A Brawl With Canelo. He Needs To Use His Legs And Move And Make Canelo Chase Him.
Why do you start every word with a capital letter?
He has just enough of a chance to make a lot of people very interested. My money is on Canelo due mainly to the comfort at the size thing.
But......
I love to think I know boxing, and one of it's attractions is never knowing for sure; and I was at the Leonard-Hagler fight.
Is Bud Crawford in Leonard's class?
We're going to all find out.

Plenty of trainers, experts, boxers and fans are predicting Crawford wins. You’re a moron if you think this is one-sided. Boxing isn’t just about size. You obviously haven’t been watching boxing for very long.
Unless Crawford can pull out a Lara performance I doubt he can win. He is not Floyd so he won't evade punches and pot shot and he is not as big and mobile as Bivol. I know Crawford will come to win and has a ton of skills to employ, but he is fighting a physically bigger top skilled fighter. This is not Leonard vs Lalonde.
Neither Duran or Hearns or Mugabi were shopworn
Duran already been raked through the coals by DeJesus, Leonard, Benitez and Kirkland Laing :lol1: All the way shopworn
Tommy Hearns knocked out by Ray Leonard, as we all know, KO loss = Shopworn
John Mugabi not shopworn but not on that level.
So it seems Hagler beat no elite fighters who weren't shopworn. That's sad.
