Comments Thread For: Showtime's Espinoza: Canelo-Crawford 'Very Doable, Huge Financial Opportunity' For Both Fighters

[tomhawq]

People just can't get enough of these circus fights. What's the excuse next time?

[Raggamuffin]

Make the super fight. Bud is going to beat Canelos ass. Then maybe Benavidez will move up and fight Bivol or Beterbiev, lmao. Who is he fighting next, Andrade or another ****en bum, lmao?

There is literally no reason why Canelo should be in the same sentence as welterweights. Crawford,Spence? You have David,Andrade and Bivol ready to fight you at 168. The only people that want to see this fight are people that want Canelo to beat up on a smaller guy,and people that want to see Crawford lose to a bigger guy. Crawford is 36 year old welterweight who started at 135. Why on earth do people want him to jump 21 lbs in order to fight a guy who's already had fights at 175?

******ity is a guess

Canelo might be criticized but he'll always be loved by Mexican fans. He's up there with Julio Cesar Chavez. That's rarefied air. Your right about the best fight being against Benavidez. Especially for purist boxing fans. Canelo will sell that (as he does for most of his fights) as Benavidez isn't as big a draw even though he has excellent boxing skills. There is no one left in the Super Middleweight division for Canelo to really fight. Crawford won't be ****** and move up to 168 for a payday. He doesn't need it. Contrary to what he says, I don't think Crawford would blow up in weight to make this fight happen. Alvarez said he doesn't want to fight another small guy who jumps weight divisions. 147 to 168? Please.

If Canelo moves up to Light Heavyweight, he'll get pounded by both Bivol and Beterbiev. He's just too small and short to defeat those two top light heavyweights. Style wise, Bivol kept him at arms length the entire fight. The scorecards were ridiculous as I didn't have Canelo winning any more that four rounds. That was being generous. Beterbiev knocks out Canelo. Too much power for him. I'd love to see Bivol versus Beterbiev but as usual, the fight can't be made for whatever reason. Money, probably, of course.

Realistically - - how many more fights in Canelo? 2 or 4, assuming he fights twice a year? He's financially secure - - generational wealth accomplished. Legacy? That's cemented. I see a rematch with Bivol going the exact same way as the first fight. Even worse. He has two more fights to fulfill his contract with PBC. Canelo may very well retire after that. I don't think he wants to go out on a losing note.

Don't you dare speak on Canelo's height. It's weight classes not height classes. A 5'8 man can move up to even HW and destroy everyone as long as he weighs over 200.

Giving up reach and having to punch higher means nothing. Canelo needs to stop ducking Fury.

Bud will get smoked!

[Robi13]

This guy will fight anyone but actual super middleweight contenders. Fcuking disgraceful

You referring to the UNDISPUTED super middleweight champion? Geez wonder how you can become that without fighting contenders… oh I know!!!! By beating champions, guess he sucks for that huh, domt
embarras yourself anymore

First, Alvarez beats up a guy who jumped up two weight classes. Now, there's talk of fighting Crawford, who's THREE weight classes below him? Espinoza is a clown, and the fear of facing Benavidez is real.

[A.B Counterhooks]

Believe it or not Bud is actually a tougher fight for canelo technically speaking at least. Benavidez only needs to beat andrade and it should be a done deal for may next year.

[El_Maldito_Rey]

Crawford just wants that payday. People think that it'll play out like Pacquiao/De la Hoya, but it'll play out like Hearns/Duran.

Only fight for Canelo right now is the Benavidez/Andrade winner.

What's embarrassing is your sentence construction, you stupud fcuk. John Ryder is a bum, who received a gift so he can fight clenelo. GGG has never fought at Super middleweight even once before their last fight. He got his whooped at 175 by Bivol, and Jermell Charlo just moved from 154 to fight for his belts, so which fcking contenders has he fought while his mandatories have been waiting for 2 years plus? You're a fcuking moron, don't come at me with some dumb **** like this.
