Comments Thread For: Canelo Rejects The Scenario of Facing Crawford in Catchweight Fight

[JuniorTorres720]

But you would catchweight Matthew Hatton, Khan, Cotto, Lara and Lopez though.

Yes. Canelo was a catch weight king for a minute doing fights at a 155 pound catch weight. But let’s be fair, those catch weights weren’t as dramatic as a him coming down 8 pounds to a weight he hasn’t competed at in years. Canelo is still a smaller super middle but his body has grown into it and he’s competed at 175 as well. Crawford vs Canelo would be a magical fight but the stars would really have to align for them to compete. I would say 160 is the weight the fight should happen at but I think it’s highly unlikely Canelo goes down that much and Crawford would have to climb up 13 pounds.

Cotto asked for a catchweight as did Mayweather.All the other fights were fought at a agreed upon weight. Canelo always chases the smoke . Stop hating.

He made Chavez f**king Jr boil down to 164lbs in an effort to avoid fighting Golovkin at 160.

I bet if Floyd Mayweather Jr said he would rematch Canelo at 154 pounds that Canelo would take that fight in a heartbeat. No doubt. Canelo doesn't want to fight Crawford because he knows that at 154 lbs that Bud would beat him. For Canelo to go down in weight like that it would have to be a winnable fight for him. Canelo likes to eat which is why he gains so much weight. If he disciplined himself with eating, trained hard he could make the weight. Bud is too much risk for him. It's the same reason why Canelo won't fight Benavidez Jr because its too much risk for him. I would like to see Canelo get in great shape and discipline himself to fight someone who can beat him. I want to see Canelo take a risk.

Why would he? Crawford’s biggest fight just did under 700k where he was the B side draw.
Fight would only happen with Crawford coming up past 160 so Canelo gets little credit.
He makes $30-50 million no matter who he fights. Crawford isn’t bringing him more than that.

I believe someone said 158 or something of that nature. Crawford stops him. Anything above, Canelo is heavy favorite. Better Crawford find a way to fight for a 3rd undisputed after Charlo vacates the belts.

Crawford aint stopping canelo, the scale will...

Canelo is washed up and would lose to Bud. If Bud had a clue how to promote himself, he’d be pretty Rick. Unfortunately, Bud has the personality of a worm and no matter how good he is, outside the ring, he’s not marketable.

Damn
Relax bro
All this Hate for Bud after he beat you fav fighter Errol Spence

LDBC/Errol fans all of a sudden jump on the Bud band wagon now that Canelos name is mentioned lol!

Canelo fought Matthew Hatton for a vacant WBC super welterweight title at catchweight of 150. Who have done that since I mean brought up Lopez from 140 to fight at catchweight for a world title fight that's not favoritism.

Lopez fought and beat ortiz at 147 before fighting canelo., if i remember correctly.

[Zodogg]

Won't fight the best at his weight class but will pick on 160 154 147 best Bully

Spence and Crawford are both Black Americans they have the same fan base. More people just liked Spence because he was associated with Mayweather/PBC
