No announcement yet.
If Crawford wants to be as good as Usyk, he must beat Bivol, not Canelo

Bud Beating Canelo at 168 would be fine. It would be a win over a consensus top 5 p4p boxer. Fury was a consensus top 8.
Imo it would be the 2nd best win of anyone in the top, behind only Bivol beating #1 Canelo.
Bivol beat Canelo at 175 and Bivol is the naturally way bigger man. Crawford would be jumping up 2 more weight classes to do it.Don2021 likes this.

its quite likely that canelo was actually the heavier guy in the ring that night
even at 168 im not sure what he weighs fight night, would not be surprised if it was early 180's at all

Think about this, canelo was actually weighing in the early 170's towards the end of his time at 154
he has since bulked up considerably from his 154 time to his 160 time where he was quite a bit larger muscle wise & now at 168, who knows what he weighs in the ring now, lets be honest here, he is not a small guy at all, hes a short and stocky build as opposed to taller and slimmer builds, but it makes no difference as its based on weight

I see your point. Let me think about it more.

It would not shock me if Crawford beat Canelo at 168. It would be a great win of course but to me at least, not a shocker. Crawford would have a reach advantage and slight height advantage as well. Also, I don't think Canelo has much fire left for boxing.
Bivol? No, that's not going to happen and if it did, and Crawford won, THAT would be a shocker.
