    Actually, it would have made a difference. Alvarez fought very flat-footed at whatever weight he rehydrated to (165, 170?). At 200 lbs, he would have fought like his feet were in cement.

      Doesn't change the fact that he offered the fight at 150 though, does it? Which is what that poster claimed, which, was true. He did offer to come down at 150 lbs, that's a fact.

      And also on top of that, Canelo wouldn't shut up before the fight about how 152 was no problem and would be easy for him to make, not really suprising considering he weighed in only 1.5 lbs heavier in his fight before that.

      Only after the fight and after being dominated did the suddenly decide he "never wanted it". Before the fight he said it was no problem countless times.
      No, it doesn't. Hey, it certainly wasn't the last time Canelo said something that he didn't live up to.

        I don't know if it will or not but it will definitely put him in the conversation. I don't know. You got guys like Henry Armstrong, Willie Pep and Roberto Duran all with better resume's than Bud.

        However, Crawford would be a three time undisputed champion in three separate weight divisions in the four belt era. One can easily make a compelling case either way.

        It would be close but I say no cigar. Those earlier guys I mentioned have close to two hundred fights or more on their records. They took more risks and fought against much stiffer competition than Crawford.

          I don't know why he said it, I just knew he did, and that's all I commented. You can come out with hypothesis, forensic psychology studies or whatever you want to say. The fact of the matter is, he offered.

              Okay, how about 147? Do you think that weight would have made him lighter on his feet? Or he would lost anyway? Don't be a moron, you know what I mean.

                Bud has always been delusional. His best win is Spence and a lot of people won't remember Spence.

                  A thing I've noticed with bud is he always tells us where he is, or wants people to think he is , whether it was pf p no1 or top 3 all time.
                  Bud might as well go all the way and say he is goat now, saying he is top 3 is almost holding back and being shy.
                  Of course bud wouldn't really think he's goat, but if you want others to think it you need to plant seed in people's head. Ali.said he's goat, floyd said he's goat, fury said it. Only Ali people believed in hindsight

                      Crawford is a product of his time. Nobody fights anybody that has a chance to beat them, rarely you see a fight involving two good fighters ala Morrell Jr vs benavidez. Check Crawford resume, two accomplished boxers and one of them was really a featherweight, in four divisions covering 17yrs. Now check SRL from 79 to 81, Benitez, Duran twice, Kalule and Tommy Hearns, in the span of five years he already has fought three hall of fames in their prime. That's a resume, and no help from the judges.
