Turki at work

[SouthpawRight]

Well, technically he WAS. He was up on two of the scorecards if I’m not mistaken but the script called for him to get tagged at some point and he came through. I never liked Amir Khan, but he was always so thirsty to prove himself that his confidence just made him narcissistic and arrogant. Saw Kell Brook getting whooped by GGG and thought, “you know what?” I need to take a page out of his book but actually win the fight. And he got iced. His speed was working, but Alvarez was a tank compared to him and that chin of Amir was always shabby to begin with.

yep T-Bud Alvarez isn’t so bad

Alvarez is bigger and heavier while T-Bud is rangier and taller

T-Bud isn’t outsized in every department

I think he’s faster too

so he has some edges going into the fight

uck it I’m for it I want to see a superfight

TintaBoricua your cousin Miguel Cotto won 4 rounds VS Alvarez at middleweight

T-Bud round trip to 168 possible

always thought he could max out to 160

Nobody asking to see Benny get dismantled by Artur or Bivol either

Benavidez should fight another 175lb contender, in order to better acclimate to the weight. But I don't think his team will want to risk the title shot. Also...while the Canelo fight remains a possibility, I don't trust Team Benavidez to take risks. They'll either fight the weakest 175lb contender they can find, or drag someone up from 168lb.

David is a live dog in any of those fights. Bud is lets see what happens.

My cousin?! Huh…I WISH.

Cotto was someone who started out at 140 and was in his fourth weight class.

Crawford is someone who started out at 140 and would be fighting in his fourth weight class as well…but he’s not going to 160…he’s going from a 154 pound debut (on Saturday), skips 160 and goes straight to 168…not against a contender, not against a paper champion, against CANELO. Canelo should be the huge favorite. I’m cautiously optimistic for Crawford but that’s a lot of weight to cover for his age.

Him toppling Canelo with those weight jumps would be akin to Pacquiao beating Marquez in the rematch at 130, ONE FIGHT at 135 against David Diaz, and then somersaulting up two weight classes towards Oscar at 147. Absolutely insane.

The Crawford win would be bigger though. Because in hindsight, we realize Oscar’s lifestyle and weight cut affected him. Still give credit to Manny, though. I think Steve Kim was one of only two or three boxing journalists picking Pacquiao in that fight.

I would love Crawford to pull this off but as of TODAY, I don’t like his chances. We’ll see how he is on Saturday…but I think Madrimov is going to look okay enough to end those talks. Maybe not beat Crawford…but okay enough for people to realize that Father Time and biology waits for no one.

Yes sir
They won’t risk it and also knowing his power isn’t carrying over

Lmfao
He’s live dog to get beaten
No power and not enough ring iq to beat those two

[SUBZER0ED]

Canelo will require Bud to agree to a rehydration clause.

He probably would!

.

even better for bud who was a 135 champ as well

Bud has the style, height, reach, footwork, engine, and fight IQ to outbox Canelo over 12 rounds. But it's like the Parker-Wilder game plan, all he has to do is not get caught for 36 mins. Against Canelo. A sharpshooter when it comes to accuracy and timing on those counters lol

Personally, I think 154 should be his final jump, but if he looks great and Canelo looks like meh, f*** it
