If Crawford wants to be as good as Usyk, he must beat Bivol, not Canelo

[Butt stuff]

But Crawford beats Canelo at 168, rofl?

Are you asking if I think Crawford beats Canelo at 168? It's a tough ask imo, but Crawford seems special – he's definitely in the fight. Whilst they might have similar height/reach, Canelo is definitely a denser human being and a naturally heavier dude.

Bud can beat nelo. I don't think he will though. But if he wants to be great, might as well try oneday. At least he tried. What's worse is not trying.
Floyd shouldve tried best ggg at 160, or rematch Nel o at 154.

Crawford is probably 2 fights away from retirement. I'm guessing he'll be hinting on retirement after his next fight with Madrimov.
TC being content in fighting once a year in the last four years would be a sensible clue on what the rest of his career would be like.
To him beating the guy everyone wanted him to fight gave him the feeling of great accomplishment and don't have to do anything else, imho.
He's going after extra million dollars, nothing else, before retiring.

Canelo is too small.

Fury had about 40 lbs advantage over Usyk.

So, lets say Crawford fights Bivol, Crawford comes about 160 lbs and Bivol comes about 183 in the ring on the fights night. If Crawford wins , he is as good as Usyk, I give him that.

Please, STOP.

Please, STOP.

Why?

Crawford is 180 lbs big dude fighting small guys because he knows he can`t beat the real men. His resume sucks.

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.

Solid take that I mostly agree with.

It wouldn't be a shocker to me if Bud out-boxed Canelo, but if he managed to hurt or stop him it would make me uber su****ious.

Not a chance he defeats Bivol.

That's not how that works

While I agreed floyd should've pursue a fight with ggg, I completely disagree that he should've rematch canelo. It was a complete shutout and he was already past his prime. Only years later canelo's fans started to talk about a rematch, forgetting that Floyd's has rematched the two fighters his win was doubted, and conveniently forgetting canelo's doesn't rematch fighters in their prime.

That version of 160 GGG was way harder to beat than Canelo is today I bet TC wouldn't be pursuing that fight, and TC is bigger than Floyd and can gain more weight than Floyd, I thought Floyd vs GGG at the time was ridiculous, full sized WWs can fight at MW as they weigh around 160/5 on fight night, its rare that LWs and lower can fight prime full blown elite MWs, with comparisons the details of who when and what weight mean more than the raw weight does, fans hardly ever see the details.
