Crawford vs Canelo

[ReggieKray]

As a fantasy fight removing the weight difference and solely focusing on skills and abilities..

How do you see it going?

What does Crawford have to give him the edge?

What does Canelo have to give him the edge?

I'll go first.

Analysis:

Crawford: He has power and accuracy at long and medium distance, but don't think it will work well with Canelo marching him down.

Canelo:
He is a master at controlling distance. His IQ is higher. His defense is better (head movement, high guard, foot movement). His body shots are second to none. He can fight any style or stance extremely well. He can apply extreme pressure and leave minimal openings while coming in. Canelo has a Proven elite chin. Canelo is a master at setting up traps. Canelo and Eddy always have an epic plan. Canelo has extremely proven determination and will power against super humans(GGG). All of Canelo's punches Jabs to power punches are only thrown with full leverage and bad intentions.

Fight burn down:
Canelo would march Crawford down.
Crawford will start out orthodox and get dominated worse than Porter was so easily able to do.
Canelo will make Crawford respect his power right out the gate.
Crawford will be discouraged and switch to Southpaw.
Canelo will continue to March forward and step out and destroy Crawfords body.
Crawford will desperately try to throw combinations that worked on bums but will miss and get brutally countered.
Canelo will put himself on the ropes and give Crawford a chance to show off to his fans. Crawford will be to scared to do anything.
Canelo will put his hands up and shrug and then continue to do work.
Crawford will wear down after 7 rounds of getting brutalized and get knocked the fk out in the 8th.

crawford was dropped by lithianian cabbage farmer and we saw how he struggled with porter who ate his shots and kept coming, he will be the smaller man and weaker puncher with canelo. canelo ate GGG's shots, he dont have the power to force canelo to do what he wants. Im not talking current canelo, Im talking any version of canelo at 154 and up. maybe like a 20 year old canelo at welter who was drained and inexperienced he can rock.

As Crawford fans, how do you all think the fight would play out if they were the same weight? What does Crawford have that would give him the edge over Canelo?

Wouldn't be worth watching.
Neither guy would be at their best.

At 154?

I’d pay to watch Terence do his best Mayweather/Lara impersonation

This would be a fantasy fight removing the weight difference and solely focusing on skills and abilities.

Terence takes 8 rounds

and Alvarez still somehow gets the decision anyways

Weight matters
Punch resistance, stamina, level of opponent....

If they were both prime, in the same div and not drained or bloated (that's a true fantasy), I'd go with Nelo due to all round better fighter.

Bud would be given every close rd if that's the case

But how does Crawford take 8 rounds? What skills and abilities does he use? How does he break through Canelo defense and avoid getting recked?
