Comments Thread For: Canelo on Crawford: Other Than Spence, I Don't Think He's Beaten Other Great Fighters

[vitruvian]

You know what I find funny about this comment from Canelo is that he picked Bud to beat Spence and said "I knew" and then turns around and says he beat one good fighter. If that's true then what is Canelo basing his prediction on prior to the fight and what did he "know" exactly? He knew because he knows Crawford is a GREAT GREAT fighter and now we're seeing that butthurt side because he's being compared constantly to him and he doesn't like that so he decides now to try and marginalize Bud's accomplishments. You can't say one thing Saul and then the other. I believe you what you said first that Bud is a great fighter the second thing is just BS. There's a reason why the consensus boxing world has pegged Bud as no less than third place on the P4P list for a long long time now. It wasn't from fighting tomato cans.

Well, what get fighters did you fight Canelo? GGG, who you lost to TWICE and only beat the one great fighter when he got old.

My mark of greatness is wrecking other balls of gamers and great fighters

Andre Ward would be TBE then

Crawford beat everyone they put in front of him. Never ducked or dodged anyone. It's not his fault no one is on his level. He belonged along side the mayweather Pacquaio era.

It’s true. Crawford is a great talent and amazing fighter but his resume has always been in question. He finally got a great A level win against Spence at age 36…

He’s not wrong but canelo ain’t all that great himself. Buds the best of this era but it’s a very weak era. The bud hype is reaching nonsense levels. Put him in the Floyd era and he loses to manny and Floyd but I think he’d beat cotto but not easily. Let’s go back one more era and I think Oscar and tito would beat him all of the killers from that era 147-154 would give bud a run for his money.. quartey winky pwill Sergio Martinez Vargas mayorga quartey. Then keep going back to SRR SRL hearns kid gavilan all these guys fought more and against much higher level competition. Not saying bud wouldn’t be good but we don’t know just based off one great performance

Bud is just a decent fighter in Canelo Era.

Arum ruined his career. Now, he is begging to Nelo for payday lmfao.

Nel o is giving bud opportunity for higher echelon ATG'ness. Bud is giving Nelo chance to take his zero. Bud does get more out of this transaction

The "Duck Tango Waltz" continues, around TBC who has held multiple world championships in three weight classes, including now, the undisputed championship at welterweight.

The PBC, Mayweather Promotions, and their fighters past narrative:
"Crawford has never fought anyone."
"Everyone that he has fought has been undefeated, but over the hill."
"He's too small, and a switch hitter".
"He's from Omaha and, he's with Top Rank."

Now, it has evolved to their current narrative:
"He Has only fought is one big fight."
"He's to old, Bomac is fat."
"He caught the 'big fish' weak and weight drained."
"He's arrogant and, over-rated, and he can't sale a PPV."

TBC at this point does not have to prove anything about how good he is, PBC, Mayweather Promotions, and their fighters prove just how good he is.

Canelo has a track record of ducking the top fighters who are mandatories, and now he's with PBC, Mayweather Promotions, and one of their fighters.

Names and faces change, but everything else remains the same.

What about beating both?

So long as he fight Benavidez FIRST, I would love to see Canelo fight them both!
