Comments Thread For: Keith Thurman doesnt rule out Terence Crawfords chances, calls Canelo Alvarez slow

[joseph5620]

Keef siding with his boy is perfectly normal just like Breadman does lol thats why u gotta love Black v Mexican matchups.

I just hope Bud would take a tuneup first so no excuses can be made aside from the weight disparity.

What excuses are going to be made if Canelo loses? I know there will be plenty.

It's a bit strange that Bud will not take a fight before he fights Canelo, but even if he did, nothing would stop fanboys from making excuses for Bud if he loses. It would be like this: I am not making excuses for Bud, but...the long ring walk made him tired, someone spiked the water, a Mexican curandero put a hex on him and so.

Im sure there will be plenty of excuses from both sides not from me tho, If Canelo loses to Crawford ,he'd be losing to another great fighter, P4P and future HOF, just another day in Boxing.

Canelo isn’t invincible. Crawford can do it . Mayweather defeated him and came all the way from 130 lbs in order to do so.

Also, Bud who is climbing all the way up to 135 could do it too. He has both the will and skill to do it .If I was advising Bud I would tell him to fight more in the orthodox stance.

Canelo is undefeated against Southpaws. Moreover, they need to have random drug testing done for this fight too. Just like when Floyd fought him.

He is giving up a huge advantage in size. Lastly, Terence must control the real estate inside the ring.

He has to control distance, spacing and range. By keeping the fight in the center of the ring and occasionally attempting to back Canelo up.

Bud must not back up in a straight line or he just might get caught with something huge by Canelo.

The only fighters to have ever defeated Alvarez decisively; Just so happened to have been orthodox fighters like Floyd Mayweather, Jr and Dmitry Bivol.

If Vergil Ortiz Stops Madrimov,

I would rather watch Canelo vs Vergil or
Crawford vs Vergil.

I don’t know. To get ass one must bring ass. If Ortiz gets nailed the way Madrimo was nailing Crawford. Then he could be in a world of hurt.

Taking the Madrimov fight aa a barometer, I don't think Crawford beats Canelo.

Having said that it's more interesting than Munguia and Berlanga, who were no threat.

[MulaKO]

Canelo KOes have come by timed counters and not speed. Also you see Canelo slowing trying to position the other fighter with some throw away punches. He will feint to get reactions and counter those. Don't know what Keith is watching.

Canelo hasn’t had a ko in 4 years
2 Ko’s in 6 years
Maybe he should get back to eating tainted meat
Or was it just an excuse

Actually they were both 154 champs and fought at 152. Something I've never seen before in boxing. Floyd starting at 130 is not relevant. It would be like saying scull is picking on a 147 pound canelo. Canelo is such a great fighter for taking the risk...

Canelo is -$3000 in sport’s books
I highly doubt he’s losing this fight
Scull just isn’t very good unless you consider holding and fouling a thing

Scull truly doesn’t qualify for sparring work with T Crawford. The -3K odds will probably go up to -10K. Watch a couple previous Scull fights and you’ll understand.
