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...
Likewise, Bud Crawford; Who will be at least 2 years older when Money May fought him. Is coming into this fight as the naturally smaller of the two also. Both are naturally smaller men than Canelo no matter how much they weigh.
Floyd came out very strong and aggressive and took the fight right to Alvarez from the opening start. The reason why I say meet in the center of the ring is because Bud's hands are naturally lighter and faster than Canelo's.
He could beat him to the punch. Also, fighting as a south paw is not good thing for Crawford. I thought Crawford ate to many right hands in his previous bout against Israil Madrimov.
The last thing he would want to do is get hit with those many lethal right hands by Canelo. They could potentially drop and stop him. Those lead right hands are Alvarez' favorite punch to use against southpaws.
Bud could still out jab Canelo from the orthodox stance. However, he cannot afford to get hit with too many of those straight right hands against Canelo who punches at least twice as hard as Israil Madrimov.Last edited by champion4ever; 02-11-2025, 07:22 PM.

vs mayweather in Sept of 2013 weighed in at 152.
But sure, we’ll run with the he was “completely drained” narrative.

But But no rematch
Even when Bivol wanted to come down to 168
Sounds like a true warrior holding belts hostage
Drop them and fight whoever he wants and no one will
quest him
Why doesn’t step up and King Artur since he punches harder
Just can’t make this up
but now realized his mistake,,,he knows now that he doesnt,,,in the rematch he will dominant over beterbiev

No there won’t be any. Canelo is the bigger guy and still in his prime. Canelo is beating much bigger guys than Crawford.
If Crawford wins, it will be a monumental historical win and nobody in their right mind is going to make excuses for Canelo.
And I’m speaking as someone who has repeatedly stated that Canelo has blatantly ducked Benavidez going almost 4 years now.
Now, when Crawford loses, there will be the size excuse without a doubt.
All the pressure is on Canelo because he is expected to win. He has nothing to prove by fighting a guy this size while making him leap several weight divisions in order to fight him.
So he should be the heavy betting favorite and rightfully so.

Spot on! The pressure is definitely not on Crawford to win this bout because he is the naturally smaller man who is being set up to fail. So there are no excuses.

No , Canelo’s loss to Bivol won’t be a factor
You’ll still have to live with it
