    I'm not sure about that.. Charlo is a big dude. And I'm sure I'm going to get a ton of hate from the Crawford fans, while I do respect Crawford finally stepping up and beating Spence convincingly, I'm not totally convinced about that win. I've been saying for long time that Spence has been struggling lately to make 147 because he's in his 30s now and has been at that weight his whole career, and once you get older, it's way harder on your body to make the weight. I personally think that Spence looked drained at the weigh in and when I saw him, I had a feeling that Crawford was going to k.o him. I even made a comment about it on a post. All that said, by no means I'm I saying Spence would beat Crawford at 154, while I do believe Spence would have a better showing, winning is a whole other story, I do believe Crawford would not stop him at 154, it would most likely be a decision win. With all that, my point is that I need to see Crawford beat the likes of Ennis or just other top guys who are not weight drained, and I do believe Spence was drained because of the way he lost, his legs weren't there, he was slow and lacked power, all indicators of being drained, I mean you're not going to tell me that guys like Burns, Postol, Benavides, ect ect, who Crawford didn't stop are better than Spence, that performance by Spence was pretty clear of a guy who's body said, this is to much, eat something.... If Crawford goes up to face Charlo, we can see the same case playing out with Charlo who has been at 154 his whole career and the fact that he's going to pack on weight for Canelo only to trim down again, that takes a toll on your body, especially when you're in your 30s.

      I have a feeling Charlo ends up in the same fish fry w/ chips basket as his buddy Spence did -

        Charlo not coming back to 154 after 168. Crawford can fight with Josh Taylor in UK

            Crawford is very very confident he beats up charlo.

            Charlo isnt and hasnt been in any rush to fight BUD .

            Charlo has opted to cash out with canelo

              Charlo would beat him. I saw the Crawford Spence fight from the stands and didnt see the fight on TV yet. What I saw was different from what the broadcast showed I think, because I saw him winning but not as dominant as everyone's been saying. I guess I couldnt see Spence face puff up or whatever cause I was medium distance from the ring. And no announcers to sway my opinion. I saw a back n forth fight that favored Crawford who looked stronger and better but not dominant despite the ultimate stoppage. I love Crawford and expected him to win, he's ATG but he looked like he moved slower than in the past. I cant see him as unbeatable. I think Boots takes him out , and as for him moving up to Charlo I think he'd be jumping the shark.

                  I really don't think Jermell is going to boil back down to 154 after Canelo and I don't think Bud should wait around either.
                  He can come back it depends what his fight night weight is, at 154 he is around 168-173 fight night, this is where Canelo is so Charlo doesn't have to add a lot of excess weight he just doesn't need to dry out to make 168 , this is where things can be very misleading jumping up weight classes when youre effectively just not drying out to make a much lower weight, Manny did this, with a 130 weighin he was 144 fight night, when he went to WW he was 144 weighin and 145/6 fight night, the 30 hr rehydration time really messes with weghtclasses.

                      Charlo is just too slow and predictable,Spence -Charlo would be a good fight but Bud beats his eyes closed TKO by 8th .
