Comments Thread For: Terence Crawford on the Canelo fight: ?That?s what great fighters are all about"

[boxingitis]

Funny how you edit your post after I’ve already answered you to make it sound like I said that Bud will take out Canelo
But I wouldn’t expect more from a guy who was put in his place just to reply afterword and say that he was just fughing around as you did in previous post
Nice try

It's Funny I didn't know you had replied already. Keep making assumptions, you're great at it.

Sure wtv you say

Canelo has slow feet an easier style than Madrimov, those herky jerky guys are incredibly hard to time they always pose problems.

Tell me if Canelo and Crawford were the same natural size who wins?

Bud , wins .I'm with Crawford , but we are't talking about 'if's' we are talking about them now , Buds too small. It's not like size difference v Khan , Khan ran , kept well clear , Bud will come to win and that will be his downfall ..in my opinion.

Why do I have the feeling that if this fight ever happens, it's gonna be boring as f. Canelo won't press, and Crawford gonna look to survive. Bit like Canelo vs Jacob.

That is what great fighters do, challenge themselves, that's what they did back in decades gone by now. 80's / 90's / 2000's.

There's only a handful of fighters around today that are really about that life,
and that's a disaster. To many fake a.s.s.fighters around.

How can anybody find fault in a dude going for it and challenging himself to be great ?

I like Crawford and I think he has incredible boxing ability. I also think that he could have easily established himself as one of ATGs by simply fighting two more fights and becoming undisputed at 154. Even the haters would have to admit that being the first man to become undisputed in three weight divisions is some achievement.

However, he has not chosen what I thought would be a smart choice and a relatively easy choice for someone with his ability. He is choosing a difficult and risky proposition, which many people think is a bridge too far away. So quite clearly, he is challenging himself to be great. Good luck to him, who am I to criticise.

I am with most people who think that:
- Bud needs a "tune up" before facing Canelo
- no way he lays down to anyone
- he genuinely believes he can win this fight on his ability.

———-
You know how many other boxers “genuinely believed the could win fights on their own abilities”?
Khan, every time he got KO’d he promised the world he “would come back stronger than ever”.
Canelo, just before he fought Floyd and Bivol.
Plant, just before he fought Canelo and Monster.
Hatton, just before he fought Floyd.
Spence, just before he fought Bud and the greatest of the all is Hopkins who assured us he “would never lose to a white boy”.
The list is super long but I figure a few light work.
