    Canelo looked like a mummified plodder against Scull and an Elite fighter like Crawford is going to capitalize off that but does that mean we're going to see another stinker in September?

    I expect movement from Crawford after seeing how shot Canelo's legs are but hopefully Crawford mixes it up and stands in the pocket a little bit. He can't stand in there too much though Canelo's still a very strong and sturdy 168er.

      Oh jeez, you might be right. Crawford's only had one fight at 154 and now he's jumping up two divisions to fight the champ. Might be no bueno for him either way. Reminds me of when Marquez had only one fight at 135 then jumped up two division to fight Mayweather smh. Mayweather wasn't over the hill like Canelo is now though so at least there's that.

        TC fans making too much out of canelo's performance last weekend... It will not be the same against TC.

        TC did not look good at all at 154 and that was against an opponent less skill than canelo.

          Crawford hasn't been very active in the last 7 years so maybe he's preserved a bit. He might be young 37. He looked prime against Spence that's for sure.

            that was against a handicap drunk spence. it wasnt the same spence... yes, canelo is not the same canelo, but canelo didnt get into a car wreck and canelo is not an alcoholic like spence...TC sure didnt look prime at 154.

              Hopefully canelo won't stink out the joint again as well.

                In some ways I feel like Crawford is jumping up 3 weight divisions. Lol. Despite his lone fight at 154.

                  Canelo has always had troubles against really good boxers. Mayweather, Trout... Stylistically if Crawford can keep Canelo from coming forwards it will be an easy fight for Terrence. However if Canelo can back Crawford up... Crawford could look very ordinary and make Plant's effort with all the inefficient running movement, look much better than originally thought.

                  Crawford moves beautifully but can he do so when he really has to? with no big punch to bail him out? Canelo can hit hard, He is not going to get much opportunity to hit with combos, can he make Crawford tentative?

                  In my opinion these are the benchmarks that will determine who wins this fight, and people should have a very clear understanding by the 5th round.

                    If you've followed Bud throughout his career, he always comes to fight. I dont see him pulling a Charlo or Scull. He's built differently. Just mho
