Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford eyeing next level, Canelo Alvarez for test of greatness

[GBBOXING12]

Bud Crawford will surely be P4P King if he beats Canelo.

Does anyone know if Canelo is going to take this fight?

Inoue is the real no 1 p4p fighter. Crawford has lost more rounds in 1 fight then Inoue has in his entire career. It's hilarious how people used to make fun of Crawford. But since that spence fight everyone is acting like he a goat or something.

Their main argument is that Spence is a HOF'er.

Maybe he is, but when he fought Bud, he was a post-car-crash version of himself (needing dental and eye surgery) and didn't look right from the beginning.

I don't think Canelo takes that fight. In his mind it's a lose lose situation, which I believe he's already said. But I said he'd never fight Bivol either so credit to him. Guys are talking like there's not a distinct possibility Crawford boxes Canelo's head off. Not sure he can either give or take a punch like Canelo can, but I'm pretty certain he's physically stronger than Canelo. How wanting to see them fight makes me a casual I have no idea.

I'm not saying he was 100% but guys never "look right" or "look like themselves" when they step up their level of opposition. Kell Brook was also a post-car-crash version of himself too when Spence fought him. I'd have loved to see them fight prior to Brook fighting GGG, which wasn't a wise career move. IMHO I feel an earlier version of Brook beats Spence.

... or because of that car crash, more than likely.

It's just that that asterisk makes it hard for me to accept this as a great victory.

Crawford and everyone else are jumping the gun for sure. Crawford has never taken a solid punch from a bigger man. They should see how he responds to that first, before he and his team keep moving towards that freight train. Because best believe Canelo is going to hit him, and hit him like he’s never been hit before. He is the smaller guy and all the talent in the world may go out the window in that situation.

Definitely feeds the narrative. Can Crawford outbox Canelo for 12 rounds and not get caught? And if he does?

Each have a built-in excuse to lose, so, that, technically, makes it a win-win.. risk v re$$$ward$$$

They've been feeding us that crap for too long

The guy was a world class athlete a week out of competition

And he recovered. We're supposed to believe it's been an issue in the 5 years since?

Porter already exposed him the week before

[Knuckle sandwich]

Forget Canelo, he needs to fight Ennis or Vergil at 154.

Who ever is into Crawford vs Canelo is a casual.

Bud is a star in his own weight , he's made it that way , he should stay in his lane with many great fights there, Canelo is too big and strong and would destroy him and a lot of what Bud has built.
