Comments Thread For: Shakur Stevenson: Canelo Gonna Feel [Crawford's] Punch As Much As Bud Feels Canelo's Punch

[Sheldon312]

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Crawford could beat Canelo and hurt him in the process. Possibly even stop him.

A 147 pounder against argubally the hardest puncher at 168?Just because Crawford defeated a weight-drained Spence, doesn't mean he beats the guys at 154, 160, and 168

He needs to fight Tim at 154 who is a boxer-puncher like Canelo. It would be a two-weight jump similar to Ray Leonard going to up-fight Hagler. FMW and Lara already proved you can nullify headshots from Canelo. It comes down to his body shots. Lara caught a lot of them with his elbows. He stops Tim on the road, esp in Australia. I give him a good chance vs Canelo

Tszyu isn't a better boxer-puncher than Canelo. Canelois the better counter-puncher, better at cutting off the ring, better jab, and is an elite defensive fighter, he also has proven to be able to fight at all ranges. Tszyu only has the better jab and movement. Comparing Crawford to Lara is also a mistake. Crawford may be more "rugged' but Lara has the better defense and is actually more "textbook" Crawford is just more athletic. I really think people are overrating Crawford's win against Spence

Styles make fights. Canelo is short and doesn't have great movement. Hatton looked like he had a good chin taking shots from Tszyu but then got stopped by Floyd. Hurting someone isn't just about raw strength and power. Timing and not seeing the shots coming can make a big difference. Not saying it would definitely happen but I wouldn't be surprised.

What makes you think Crawford could handle Canelos punches? Canelo has hands too. Midget Gamboa rocked Crawford, imagine Canelo.

Me, Shakur and that HW Bud beat up

Have Crawford fight an average HW and see what happens

[boxingitis]

Bud makes Canelo look ordinary, just like he did Spence… not only Canelo made ordinary looking, Bud hurts Canelo.. early and late in the fight… while Canelo swings and misses all night-

The same way Gamboa and Mean machine missed on Bud and wobble his ass.

[Murray Kelm]

Styles make fights Crawford has the length and boxing ability to give Canelo a good fight, someone like D Benavidez would wreck Crawford because of David's size.

He might be able to use his speed, mobility, skills etc to avoid getting hit by many big shots. He wouldn't be the first person to not get stopped by Canelo.

Bud is going to beat his ass and he is going to lump Canelo up doing it.

Crawford is ducking no smoke

As I said, I would necessarily pick him to win but I wouldn't be too surprised either. Sometimes a smaller, faster, skillful fighter can beat a larger opponent. Floyd beat Canelo, Usyk beat Joshua, Pacquiao beat De La Hoya.
