      Im not so sure 168 is a big jump. Canelo has cement feet but his hands are fast enough. How does crawford react when he takes the first shot? hes never been hit like that. Spence never really hit him, whats the most hes been hit maybe by Porter who dont hit like a 168 canelo. If 168 is so easy, bud could move up there to take one fight to adjust to the weight but we dont see that, it would be all or nothing because his team knows its a risk and wont do it except for a canelo pay day.
      Bud walks around like 185 apparently. He has sparred bigger guys. He wrestled for years and has big time core strength and he hits alot harder than most fighters.

      Alvarez has never KOd an elite fighter. Yes it is boxing, anything can happen. But Canelo has always been mostly smoke and mirrors with a boatload of hype.

      Bud could lose, sure. But he'd come into the ring at a stout 170+, with far more skill than anyone Canelo has seen since Floyd. And it isn't just that Bud hits so hard. He figures guys out in a round or two and exposes any weakness.

      Canelo won't fight him, he is almost certainly going to fight the othe Charlo for an easy W and then I see him fighting Berlanga or some other hype job who appears to be a threat, and then he will retire.

        If bud is this good why did he take 5 years to prove he's no1 WW? Whilst bud was waiting for spence he shouldve moved up to 154 against Tim tsue, charlo and then moved down. Hed have achieved more and had more of a legacy in the bag. Why let spence fight hold him up so much?
        Yes fight Nell then and become genuinely the no1 pfp. Bud is only eye test no1 at the moment. Inoue is the true no1 pfp, done more in shorter time period

          I originally thought canelo too big. But I remember roy Jones moving up to heavyweight and dominating Ruiz. Canelo doesn't move like he used to.

            Crawford has ZERO chance even again this OLD Canelo but if Crawford has the style of Mayweather. He could beat him. But he don’t.

              Bradley you're not to smart, because going up 21 or more pounds would just slow down Crawford, and he wouldn't be effective.
              It doesn't what weight Crawford walk's around at, because he doesn't fight at that walk around weight.
              He fight's at a lighter weight, and there's are very good reason's why he choose's to do that, he can't compete at 168 pound's.

                Crawford the monster has been hiding at 147 for 5 years, waiting for Spence, but he will beat a super middleweight, lol. these boxing commentators..

                  Pay Day Pay Day. It is all about the money!

                    Crawford would beat a 23 year-old Canelo at 152 lbs too.

                    Against 160-168 lbs Canelo? Mismatch.

                      But Floyd fought Canelo at 152

                      No matter how good Floyd is, he was smart enough not to fight at 160 and beyond.

                      Canelo at 168 is a whole different animal
