    Well, I’ll be damned. So you’re telling me this fight is nothing more than a cash out fight for Crawford and it’s the main reason he’s unwilling to face anyone else at 168 but Canelo. Thanks for clearing that out for me, I never would’ve thought of it that way.
    respect both but fan of neither

    Rooting for TBud and hoping for a good fight

    he is naturally bigger than Floyd after all

      Right on. Terence “TBE” Crawford would’ve dominated anyone at 135, 140, 147, 154, 160, and 168 in any era.

        I wonder how current Lara would do against Crawford. I know Lara is shot, but he’s always had problems against heavier aggressive boxers like Hurd, Angelo, etc. Stylistically, Crawford doesn’t pose much threat to him. To keep it a buck, old man Lara is a stylistic nightmare for anyone.

          Erislandy would have been the first guy we see Floyd outwork

          how competitive do you see Benavidez VS Bivol or Artur

            I think Bivol wins by UD. Bivol would outbox him. Artur still has enough in the tank to punish him for 12 rounds, I can see Artur win by KO or TKO.

              I don't think it's a technical flaw but he risks himself in 50/50 exchanges and he drops his guard when throwing combinations, which is pretty normal.

              The 3 right hands Madrimov hit him with partly has to do with age. Crawford's reaction is too slow to parry or slip them. (Obviously)

              I expect Canelo to come in with a similar gameplan that he had for Khan. Attack the body. Keep him thinking about it, slow him down, close the distance then tee off.

                Great observation. He doesn’t look comfortable getting hit to the body especially those looping body shots, he tends to get thrown off balance when he gets hit like that. Yeah, I feel like Canelo will mix it up like that and catch Crawford upstairs when he least expects it.

                  I don't know. Your head is always exposed when you throwing a body shot. Any training is such that when under trauma we revert to our most basic skills set.

                  Fighters like Crawford tend to make adjustments and that is the real strength. As far as technical flaws bud does tend to loop a little bit.

                    TBud boxes when orthodox and fights when southpaw

                      A boxing coach stated the same thing to me a while ago
