Kell Brook gave GGG everything he could handle. Stood toe to toe with GGG and had GGG in all sorts of confusion. Brooks speed and willingness to trade shocked GGG, and even looked like he may pull off an upset.
Crawford has better credentials than Brook. But is up against a similar task. A smaller fighter Facing a bigger, rugged, hard fisted, legendary fighter. But Crawford is a Legend himself. Can he go just a step further than Brook did and cause an upset?
Watch this fight. Ask yourself if Crawford can go just that bit harder for a bit longer than Brook?

Which is why this fight will strategically be a blueprint of the GGG v Brook fight.
Yep. Thats the way it went. Canelo walking bud down but not prepared to take the bruises by unloading volumes of punches. So Bud wins.
This is a great example. Yes, it was a tremendous fight. Golovkin beat Brook, but Brook also beat Golovkin, both guys won the fight and left the ring a Champion. Golovkin did enough to win, but Brook did enough to win, and both guys won. It was a spectacle for the ages and fights where both men win, are often the best, just like when Fury and Uysk both won the rematch after Fury won (in reality) the first fight. Khan beat Maidana and Maidana beat Khan, that was another great fight.
But Brooks win over Golovkin was as good as Golovkin's win over Brook, and Nash has a feeling that Crawford will beat Canelo, and Canelo will do enough to beat Crawford. Both men could win this fight. Nash out - His Majesty
brooks win over golovkin was better because golovkin dragged him up 2 divisions and brook still won, just like canelos win over golovkin was better because golovkin drained canelo who was fighting at 164 pounds in his previous fight.

Oh Please. So Amir Landed A Few Shots, Let's Not Get Carried Away. Khan Is Always A Great Starter. I Don't Think He Was Ever In A Fight Where He Lost The First-Two Rounds. This Doesn't Mean Jack. And That's The Thing, Crawford Is Not A Mobile Fighter. So You Are Telling Crawford To Not Be Himself And To Fight A Certain Style, Which Will Be His Downfall. Crawford Doesn't Need to Replicate Floyd Or Lara Or Khan. Crawford Just Need To Be Himself And Fight The Way He Always Been Fighting. If He's Really Better Than Canelo, Then He Will Be Victorious.

Even Amir was doing fine early against Canelo until the inevitable happened once his chin got touched, Lara? Maybe just a little more offense in a few more rds and its a clear win for him. Canelo really struggles against moblile fighters.

I admit that Kell started that fight exceptionally well. Even rocking Golovkin in the process; Which was one of the very rare occasions that has ever happened. However, once his vision became compromised from that broken eye orbital bone. It was all down hill from there.

- - Craw a drain on boxing who can't draw flies sorta like Charley Burley.
Turki doing him a favor with his first big purse which is dwarfed by Canelo's purse.
I think reach is going to play a big factor in this. Crawford has long arms (Longer than Canelo) and if he can maintain proper distance and pick his spots, he might be able to pick at Canelo though has to be careful with the counter shots coming back. This fight just might be a lot of scratch and sniff and unfortunately as most big fights, probably not live up to the potential. I'm hoping for some good action and drama, but don't really see it. I have a decision victory for probably Canelo and if anyone goes down, it will probably be Bud since he has before. He'll get back up and just be more cautious to get to the end.
People hating on Bradley because he said PAC was great. People would hate on him if he said PAC wasn't great. It's true what they say, haters gonna hate.
Bud will not stand in front of Canelo and trade, he will try to tire out Canelo's stamina by using the ring to box and counter
If he gets too reckless engaging with Canelo he's going to eat sharp counters that will stop him in his tracks
It's going to be a close fight I think, with Canelo winning an uncontroversial decision
Just watched it again. Looks different now in the context of time where GGG has been beaten. When Brook fought him GGG was undefeated and had KO'd just about everyone. Then to see this Welterweight move up to middle and crack into GGG for a few rounds was amazing. Brook had a broken cheekbone from the end of rnd 2 i think it was. But he had hit GGG with cleaner shots than anyone before him.
So right now it doesn't look as impressive, but for the time when Brook fought GGG and how GGG was just demolishing everyone, Brook did something amazing.
GGG was/is a busier fighter than Canelo. Probably hits harder more often with both hands than Canelo as well. Crawford has more chance v Canelo than Brook had v GGG. However, i see a similar fight unfolding. Canelo trying to walk Bud down behind stiff jabs, crosses and hooks. Bud moving, slipping, countering, occasionally sticking.
Can Canelo be just as successful in walking down Bud as GGG was v Brook? Can Bud move and counter better, harder and more often than Brook did?
GGG v Brook is the script i think we will see play out. How well will Bud and Canelo handle their roles compared to GGG and Brook? I dont think Canelo can do better than what GGG did. Bud can definitely do as well if not better than Brook. Just how much better, will determine who wins.
