I don't think it is reliable to compare Crawford to Canelo who was in his mid-twenties. Still, Canelo isn't exactly wrong, think the champs at 147-154 like Spence and Charlo are naturally bigger than fighters in the respective divisions, Crawford managed to cut to lightweight and at the high end of his career is still cutting at 147, so I would think no, he is just quite talented despite fighting subpar opposition until now.
We gotta compare this Canelo because Canelo at his athletic and natural weight class which is 154. Canelo grown with his extra muscles to fight much bigger fighters. Crawford can add extra muscles to fight at 168 as well.
The issue is Canelo is natural 154 who got dwarfed by fake 154 lbers like Charlo. And, Crawford looks like big 147 lber with his big torso. Canelo and Crawford have same height but Crawford has taller shoulders and longer limbs. Canelo has wider shoulders.
Crawford just wanna drain himself and Canelo doesn't wanna it. Otherwise, they're pretty similar in natural size.
Look at scaled photos carefully. Crawford will carry 168 as good as Canelo. If they fight, you will get shocked at weigh in.
One of them has a highest weight class of 147 lbs and the other's highest weight class is 175 lbs.
I wonder which one is bigger.
doesnt mean jack shiiet.. one guy is willing to go up and the other is hesistant of moving up.. if TC really wanted to fight above 147, he is well capable of doing it but just doesnt wanna take that risk.
