Comments Thread For: Bradley: I'd Pick Crawford To Beat Canelo, Even at 168, He Has Ring Smarts Like Mayweather

[Roadblock]

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

It has to be water weight, muscle doesn't grow that much in 24 hours if at all, some guys can really dry out, to gain that amount after rehydrating it can only be water, honestly these 3 things , training weight, weigh in weight and fight night weight all relate to each other, you cannot have a real high training weight and a very light weighin weight, because the bulk built in training holds a percentage of water, its a balancing act between the three states, its sneaky how it works, you will see when haney gets to WW how much more his fill out and he is weighing the same on fight night as he is now, look at Manny at 129 weigh-in and 144 weigh-in , on both occasions he weighs the same on fight night, but its as sure as eggs its not the same body, its rearranged different by training at a higher weight, the fight night weights don't change its just filled out differently, more muscle less water.

I can rewrite what Im saying in a different way if its confusing the way I put it.

No actually quite clear
What I don’t understand is how does he get 25 pounds overnight , are you insinuating it’s water that gets back up in weight
iIf I understood correctly

Canelo hits too hard for Crawford, I cant see bud taking and surviving those punches for 12 rounds.

Yes, and if you wanna split hairs he would have undigested fluid in his system also, its all weight, and the fight-night weight is not as precise as the official weighin, Ive seen guys weighed with tracksuit joggers and stuff in their pockets so not really accurate although it can be for someone else weighed in shorts boots and nothing else, its another flawed area of boxing, Id like to see them weighed right before their ring walk without the robe on, fight night weight is extremely important yet its secondary to weigh-in weight which is a weight they don't fight at, crazy if you ask me when they know they going to be a lot heavier in 30 hrs, in my book fight night weight should be official, don't matter what it is but it should be disclosed accurately.

There is also blood doping where they take blood out and then put it back in after the weigh in, I doubt that's the case but its possible.

Once upon a time
No more
Who has he knocked out as of late , honestly ?

[JakeTheBoxer]

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.

Man, do you understand Bivol is a light heavy, much bigger man than Canelo?

Much bigger ?
Wtf are you saying ?
You high ?
Bivol is considered a small light heavyweight who has even stated he can make 168 very very fughin easily
Much bigger man
Gtfoh

[MulaKO]

168–175
oh yeah

[BillyBoxing]

At 154 I would have favoured Bud since Canelo drained himself there and struggled with the likes of Lara and Trout, but def not at 168 wich is Canelo best weight.

Go back watching Bivol - Canelo. Dmitry was much bigger. Canelo looked like a small chubby guy.
