    Could Crawford Even Beat Demetrius Andrade @ 160-168?

    Terrance is talking about fighting Canelo but we saw how the size difference made it easy for Canelo to literally punch through Charlo's guard and put him down. Remember how Crawford pushed Spence around all night? He's not going to be doing a whole lot of that especially on the inside with a stockier and more compact body puncher like Canelo.

    It's obvious that weight matters, and Demetrius is also a right hand dominant southpaw too which combined with his size advantage could make Crawford look ordinary. Of course Crawford has sharpness and snap but we saw how Charlo's punches couldn't budge Canelo off his front foot.

    Would Crawford's skill be good enough to even beat Booboo who is definitely worse than him?

    Time & time again I say my name is my name on this site for a reason. Now I'm not mad at anybody who thinks Bud is better than Andrade. That's definitely logical & sensible but "definitely worse than him"? Lol you dudes are crazy. Andrade was the top choice coming out of '08 were Bud ain't make the cut.

    They forgot when Bud said Canelo was shying away from black fighters. & who he meant was Big Charlo & Andrade. His trainer Bomac said Canelo wouldn't fight Andrade either. Has he fought him? Yea I ain't think so. Bud said Andrade was one of the most talented fighters he ever seen. Why the professionals don't say what you "fans" say?

    Like who y'all think Andrade is. Andrade could hardly get fights at his own weight classes. & dudes under him wouldn't dare come up & do anything. Name me a proven top fighter from 47 or 54 that would mention they wanted to go up & do something with Andrade. Lol you dudes are crazy.​

      Imagine being an Andrade fan in 2023.

      You backing him to beat Benavidez? Glad to see him finally stepping up for the first time in 10 years.

          You just saw what happened when a guy went up two weight classes.

          For every guy that does it and is successful, there's a hundred that look ordinary, slow, and have no power as they move up.

          IE Brandon Rios was an unstoppable monster at 135. At 147 he was barely a fringe-contender level guy.

          Crawford gets murdered at 160-168.

            I was an Andrade fan until he turned down the Jermell and Korobov fights. It was obvious from that point forward he was just chasing paydays.

            It would actually be pretty sad if he beat Benavidez cause what a waste of a f***ing decade if he’s actually the type of talent he thinks he is.

              Rios was getting gifts at 135 against Richard Abril. When was he some unstoppable monster?

                Rios fought Abril as a late replacement because Gamboa literally pulled out of the fight a week out because he thought Top Rank was feeding him to Rios.

                At 135, dude was a legit boogeyman for a minute.

                At 147 he was a punching bag.

                  He fought Pac, Bradley, Danny... He just wasn't as good as any of them, no matter the weight class

                    Do you lot understand what weight classes are, or what?

                    Why is this constant nonsense being talked about between fighters who are 2 and 3 weight classes apart from each other?
