Comments Thread For: Crawford on Fighting Canelo at 168: 'Why Is It Ridiculous? I Meant What I Said'

[MONGOOSE66]

It’s not a dumb idea. What is dumb is not to fight at 168 at least a few times before Canelo

Canelo just made 33. Bud will be 35 next month!

Future HOFer on the wrong side of 35, fits Canelo's resume perfectly. He made his name on such fighters

It would be competitive but if canelo hits him at 168, and he most likely would, Crawford’s skills would slide faaaast. He would not get the chance to play around like he did with Spence.

That's a fact

Kovalev, Golovkin, Cotto, Mosley, Mayweather

In fairness "they" did say Floyd aged out a couple guys younger than him iirc so who knows. There's always enough fanboys of a guy like Canelo or most bigger draws to steer the crazy train for a wonky opinion like that.

Idk about that with Boots, but Bud is at that point in his career where he should just be looking for big fights including the biggest fight vs Canelo & he shouldn't rly be considering Boots as a future opp. Its all risk no reward.

I was never big on Bud, but respect to him getting to where he's wanted to be for yrs & respect to him getting max cash in his next couple fights to move onto the next era of his life out of the ring.

Nothing in it for Canelo. He needs to stay away from it.

What’s in it for Crawford:
1. Biggest pay day of his career
2. If he wins, biggest win of his career and one of the biggest wins in boxing history in the last 25 years
3. If Crawford loses, it means nothing for him. People will say he just took a big leap like great fighters do. No shame.
4. Aftermath of losing: He can either retire, or go back down to 160 and pick up undisputed championship in that weak division. He will be supported and lauded as one of the greatest boxers ever.

What’s in it for Canelo:
1. A payday he’s already seen before, probably not even the biggest.
2. If he wins, no one will care, his critics will just hate on it.
3. If he loses, his critics will use it as some form of confirmation that Canelo has ****** his whole career.
4. Aftermath of winning: Canelo going up in weight and losing is still hated on even today. So even if he takes on big challenges, and loses, critics will hate him.
