Anyone starting to give Crawford a decent chance at Canelo?

    Just because Bivol beat ginger, it doesn't mean anybody can. Bivol is a natural 175 guy, probably walking around about 190 lbs. He is bigger than Canello, very good feet.

    Crawford us a vry skilled guy, he has monster reach, but he is almost 38 and never fought over 154. He will be heavier than ever. This is not a welterweight fight.

    How will he react when he feels Canelo's power punches? Can he take it?

    Bivol is a monster. Bivol can take evrn the hardest Beterbiev's shots. Don't compare Crawford with him.

    And..if you want to beat Canelo...you must be very busy. I didn't like what I saw from Bud in Madrimov fight.

      Crawford is at least 20 pounds lighter than Canelo. He's also significantly older.
      This fight is still absurd. If Canelo loses, or even comes close to losing, dude is a disgrace to the boxing world.

        i give him a shot at it, canelo doesnt take hard fights now for a reason, i expect canelo to win a competitive fight but wouldnt be shocked if bud pulled it off, someone is going to beat canelo and maybe badly soon, can bud be that person, we shall see

        I believe TBud has the versatility and defensive discipline to win 7 rounds and survive

        While he likes to mix it up he isn’t outright reckless unlike Naoya who needs a brawl and is most happy then.

        TBud spent lot of time on the back foot countering Errol

        Current Saul is in the same mold as Errol but better. A come forward guy who can be predicted

        Imo Alvarez doesn’t have the volume to break TBud down for the stoppage

        TBud 8-4 7-5 Saul has a good chance of happening

        unlikely he does as clean of a job as Bivol’s 9-3

          disagree... in fact, when TC gets hit, he likes to come right back right away and try to get his lick back! see the gamboa fight. he cant take flush shot like in the gamboa fight against 168 canelo.

          TC doesnt have the legs to move around and survive. he will be even slower at 168. he doesnt have great movements so he will need to fight canelo.

            Yes!! Crawford will bring it home for the Midwest. People will start to realize having three undisputed puts him quite possibly at the top all-time.

              Would have to land good on him first

              I think TBud can take a couple of clean singles from Alvarez

              it’d be two hard consecutive shots that would ko him. This past prime Alvarez has a lower chance of quickly following up after landing a good shot

              TBud gameplan will be to box and willing to exchange but not seeking a brawl Naoya style

                Yes! Canelo looked old in his last performance against Scull. I thought he won a very close fight based on Scull’s low workrate and punch volume.

                Had Scull would have strung along a few combination punches together after making Canelo miss. Then he could have easily won the fight.

                  going 7-5 against a guy who didn’t give it his all to win

                  highly vulnerable!

                    It showsed that he is both vulnerable and beatable. Just Judging by his previous performance. He obviously underestimated Scull.

                    Likewise, he may very well do the same exact thing against Crawford. However, unlike William Scull.

                    Bud will make Canelo pay for the mistakes he makes inside of that boxing ring

                      but TC has done exactly that when he gets hit! he comes right back and start brawling and get his lick back. the gamboa fight was an example of this. TC was fortunate that gamboa is a small guy. TC cant afford to do this against 168 canelo.
