    Its doubtful, win or lose against Canelo, that Jermell ever returns to 154lbs. Those titles are most likely getting split up so Crawford will have to complete a Canelo-style unification tour to become undisputed at JMW.

    As far as Canelo-Spence goes, I agree that even a shop worn Canelo is going to be too much for this current version of Spence. Spence just does not seem to have the engine or punch resistance that he used to have so he's not going to be confident moving up 3 weight classes. Canelo might hurt him worse than he did Khan.

      One loss should not define who you are as a man and as a fighter. It was a lesson learnt for sure, hopefully, this will progress him further to learn other fundamentals to up his game. He'll be back.
      I'm sick and tired of how boxing is viewed nowadays. A lot of people were wrong about Crawford. He definitely is that guy now. But the idea a fighter is done even after being outclassed is nonsense.

      Some fighters need to lose so they can get better. Maybe it motivates them more. And I get it. Some fighters are never the same. An example is one of my fav fighters Berchelt. But he had already loss before which may be the reason he improved to get where he was.

      Everyone writes fighters off so quickly and at the same time whine they don't want to fight the top guys. Stop writing them off after a loss and let them prove it in the ring. Unless you've been under a rock, time and time again in boxing we've seen fighters take devastating losses and still have great careers after.

        Yeah if you make any fight, its Canelo v Crawford. Spence cant get a cash cow fight over Bud after a clear and thorough beatdown like that.

          But we're talking about going up weight division in one jump for Crawford, as opposed to Paquiao going up one.
          So as good as Crawford is, Pacquiao was even better, speed wise, and power wise, quite possibly the best fighter who ever lived.

            Pacman was 140 pounder fighting a big 154 pounder.
            There are many boxers more skilled than Canelo, but anyone under him might not be able to handle his power.

                Nothing big. Loser just admits they were wrong about Canelo.
                I’m not saying he definitely fights Spence , but I’m just saying I don’t think it’s off the table. But sure, I’ll take your bet.

                  I say Spence takes the fight, just for the money, because he can't beat Crawford, no matter what weight class, Canelo dont want that smoke either
