    crawford likes to outlast his opponents and stalk them in the second half of fight, he will have to have a new game plan for canelo if he wants to see the end of the fight, he will have to do his best floyd impersonation maybe

        Its water weight not muscle weight, huge difference in a guy that trains around 168 to a guy training at 150, the fuid balance/ muscle really plays with overall weight, when guys make a CW what hurts them is training at the lower weight instead of training at the higher weight, like Oscar with Manny they said he was 150 for weeks and that's what kills them as they don't have the muscle they would carry at a higher training weight.

          Canelo has a killer instinct all the time Marvin had it if you came after him otherwise he was content to box out a UD, you only seeing the weight not the styles and demeanor of the fighters, Canelo would kill that Duran because Roberto would come at him.

            Not sure about that
            Then he rehydrates 25 pounds overnight
            I have a hard time believing that
            Unless something is going on

              He’s just not making a lot of sense. First off, Crawford is not the defensive genius Mayweather was, he gets hit. Secondly, does Bradley think Canelo is basically the same he was 10 years ago and with the same punching power?

                Bud doesn't have Floyd's speed, feet or defense.

                People thinking a 170lb Crawford is going to move or have the spring in his step of a 155-160lb Crawford are sadly mistaken.

                Floyd came in heavy vs Cotto and you could see the toll it took on his legs in the middle rounds.

                  Intriguing fight. I don’t like Crawford’s age. The old man is about to take over his body.

                      Canelo made the same mistakes he made in the bivol fight. She showed that he barely changed. Bivol beat him with basic, solid fundamentals. Crawford has way more more tools than that. The only thing going against crawford is the weight jump. I don't think age is a factor as they are both around the same age, crawford being a just little older, but canelo has more wear and tear on his body.
