****ing Redball lovers will do anything in their power to justify this farce of a fight. Let's face it. Canelo doesn't want challenges anymore. After Bivol sonned him he's done with that.

Canelo is done as elite fighter. It is clear.

After Bivol took him to the school, what do we have? 40 old GGG, Ryder, next is 154 Charlo, after that probably inactive bigger boy Charlo the middleweight.

Canelo will never again fight a dangerous fighter.

You mean Charlo is taller. Charlo won't even come in at the 168 limit, yet you claim he is bigger. Fan boys..

He will come in at 167 or greater

Sure, but that's just not how boxing defines size. It's based off weight that's why there's weight classes not height and reach classes. The bigger guy is the one who weighs more because that's how boxing categorizes boxers.

So why was everyone calling Spence bigger than Crawford even though they were at the same weight class

I would imagine it's because Spence has been melting down to welterweight his entire career, while Crawford moved up from lightweight. Gamboa & Crawford were in the same weight class but Crawford was clearly the bigger man in terms of weight.
