Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez is a bridge too far for Terence Crawford, says Mikey Garcia

[A.B Counterhooks]

Canelo is only thicker, heavier boned, slower feet, unconditioned than Bud. They're the same height, Bud is longer reached, stronger, twitch faster hands & feet, savage gifted and better fight IQ. Watch Mayweather vs Canelo, Bud will make it look much easier than Floyd did. It's that simple!

Dude, you're forgetting Crawford IS NOT Mayweather, they both skilled af absolutely but each fight completely different styles if you take a much closer detailed look, also keep in mind, TC wont make Canelo cut 2 extra pounds less not to mention Floyd at least had one or couple fights at 150-54, Crawford just made his SWW debut and didn't look so great tbh, 168 is a whole different game, but hey I'll be happy to take that bet brother!

I have 2 questions for you.

If they naturally weighed they same who wins TC or Canelo?

What do you think their fight night weights are likely to be at 168?

They are only an inch apart in height, remember cinna boy started out in Helter skelter division

1. If they both weighed the same and competed in the same division its a genuine 50-50 imo although I recognize most would have TC as a slight favorite due to his overall skill and ring IQ but Canelo would still have the age advantage but def would be more leveled than it is now.

2. Canelo def has an advantage in this department for all scenarios as his body tends to rehydrate with much ease, if we put it in actual numbers, I'd say Canelo jumps to 178-185 tops on fight night , Bud no more than 8 pounds post weight in probably less than that to keep some agility and speed. I mean the guy started at 135 ffs.

They're not height classes though. Sebastian Fundora is taller and longer than Daniel Dubois or Oleksandr Uysk... You want to try your luck at how well he'd fare vs either?

Bud at least has a reach advantage, and probably speed as well. But if he doesn't cut down as much he'll be slower with less stamina than he's used to, and he's at a serious power disadvantage because his punch resistance isn't going to be what he thinks it will, while Canelo has an ATG chin. In his place, I'd be sparring hard hitting light heavies so he knows what it will feel like. I hope he's dialed in, because I really don't want to see him go out like a Charlo.

"After weighing in at 153.4 pounds on Friday for the official weigh-in, Crawford weighed 169.8 pounds the night of the fight. The 16.4-pound weight gain is almost two pounds more than what Madrimov put on for the fight"

That was at 154 ,im talking about a potential match at 168, there is no way Bud would gain that much on fight night for Canelo.

actually noone knows what canelko weights in the ring nowadays which is a big pity as it would silence all thie canelo weight chatter, i woould guess its somewhere around 185 actually there should be a canelo raffle prize for guessing his correct inring weight its crazy we dont actually know it as all the canelo fanlets keep telling everyone all the time thats hes some tiny guy!! loloo no hes not he a b ig rehydrator and always was
