Comments Thread For: Crawford Changes His Stance, Willing To Fight Canelo at 168 Pounds

A tall order, but not impossible. Dare to be even greater. It's not just the money, although that would be huge.

[ShoulderRoll]

It would be ****** to jump to 168. Get your lineal title at 154 first, try to get undisputed, then maybe think about 160. Jumping from 147 straight to 168 is crazy talk.

It would be the biggest payday of his career. Not ****** for him at all financially.

What is with this sport nowadays. We get all fight except the fights we want.

exactly, especially with those two p.ussies named Bivol and Beterbiev who don’t want to go near each other and it being August, will not fight this year. Again.

[hhh1200]

Come about 162-3. He'll fight at 154 while Canelo finishes his 3 PBC fights. That probably give him 9 months after Spence or Tim to add 8-9 lbs the right way. He has very good punch technique but Canelo stayed on his feet vs a top 2 175 lber. Honestly I'm unsure how a fight would go if Crawford and Bivol were in the same weight class? It's a crazy move but he is at the end and Charlo has fragmented the belts at 154 and he is too old to try and collect them. I guess I'm ok if he goes for it.

Man, stfu with your bs already. You hated on crawf for years, he ends up giving your man a beating worse than the crash he was in and you still whining. Foh

100% ...Crawford delivered and brutalised spence and sent al haymon , the gooby brothers and tanker tattoo insane

Kell got a lot of credit too, before. Many called him ****** though afterwards.

no matter how it turns out, it's courageous, foolhardy too, maybe.

[Boxing Scene]

Canelo will be all about this **** don't worry. Why not bring up someone from kindergarten.

[Smash]

well thats interesting, bud will now be hoping that canelo looks good and does a job on charlo to really build the fight up, its a good calculation by bud i think, canelo doesnt want to risk fighting some of his 168 peers so would take the bud fight i think too

[Raggamuffin]

I ain’t mad at ya Bud. Chase that legendary status. Keep your options open and rise off into the sunset. Bud vs Canelo is a super right for the ages. That is a dangerous fight for Bud. Very dangerous…!!! One fan said and I quote

“Crawbum wanna some payday, brain damage and death from Canelo's hands.

Okay, let's go. I wouldn't be happier than that.”.

It’s just sad that you can love a fighter so much….that it forces you to “Go Full ******”!

Boots is a MANDATORY.

If this were Canelo, you'd crap all over him for ducking mandatories. Oh wait, you actually DID do that. Yet with Crawford he gets a free pass.

NSB.

Boots would be an okay fight, but honestly, though...is Boots that big marketability-wise?

What would sell more and SECOND, what would be a bigger challenge? Crawford fighting Boots...or Crawford fighting Canelo?

I personally think it's suicide and somebody might have to rein Bud in but I admire his conviction. He wants the smoke.

I don't think he BEATS Canelo (because two weight divisions is a lot...never mind three), but Crawford retiring with a win over an unbeaten Spence followed by shooting up three weight classes to beat Canelo would be one of the greatest things ever witnessed in the sport.

I'm personally all for it. I'd be rooting for Crawford in that fight. And I thought Pacquiao had titanic balls at nearly age 40 wanting to fight Spence in 2021. This is up there on a whole different level.

Crawford's got guts but I think that's a bridge too far honestly.
