Comments Thread For: Canelo on Fighting Crawford: 'Why Not? It's Possible - If It Makes Sense, I'm Down To Do It'

[Monty Fisto]

Classic misleading headline from Boxing Scene.

The essence of his coments are: it's silly to talk about fighting Crawford, but never say never.

His literal words are: "Everybody is talking about if I'm going to face Crawford, a fighter at 147, who is smaller than Charlo. So it does not make sense when you guys say right now. I don't understand ... At the end of the day I want to have credit to face Crawford, right, no matter what. But, you never know. You never know in boxing. I will go up and down and fight everybody out there. So, it's possible. Why not? It's possible. If it makes sense, I am down to do it. I don't care who is there. I am always able to fight everybody"

At most, he's refusing to rule it out, even though he doesn't think it makes sense. It's basically equivalent to saying "no comment".

People are over hype wirh Crawford. He struggled with mean Machine, 147 that was never a Champion.

What does him struggling with Kavaliauskas actually mean? Because it has zero bearings against Spence. I think you're putting too much stock into one performance.

I may sound crazy but do you know what fight makes perfect sense for Alvarez? Benavidez. If Benavidez vs Andrade happens then the winner is the ideal candidate for Alvarez.

He didn't really struggle with him. He started slow and got caught with a shot and then from that point on turned it up went up another gear and an won every round after and dropped and stopped him. It's not like he got pushed to a MD or a close UD. Crawford's never even had a fight go to a Majority decision or split decision fight in his whole career.

I'd prefer to see madrimov vs canelo

Anything to duck Benavidez. However he has 3 match deal with PBC. Crawford not yet in stable

[Manic Shot]

Canelo's fighting Spence before Bud, right PBC?

[just the facts]

I’m sure every boxer throughout history would be more than happy to fight a fighter three weight classes below for a good purse but it’s still a coward move.

[Boxing Scene]

Of course Redballs is down. Anything that isn't Benny or Beterbiev or Bivol he's down. As long as it's a smaller guy, ****ty fighter like Plant or Shot fighter like Kovalev he's all in.

Dude, I’ve been critical of Bud for a while but after the beat down of Spence, you gotta give the man his dues!
Floyd struggled with Maidana, so what does mean? He’s not that good?
