Why is Kettele saying ""Crawford seems more motivated, determined and driven by legacy at this point in his career."? I'm not saying he can't win...even if i believe he wont....but lets call it for what it is...a money grab.

I found it so odd that everyone was saying how Canelo was too big for Crawford... Canelo is a tiny Super Middle Weight... Crawford is taller than him and has had a full year to add on muscle. Pretty sure he's gonna look like the bigger man come fight night.

These are the 2 best North American fighters of this era.I believe it will come down to who can take the other's punches. Because they both will be hit. I'll have money on Canelo Alvarez.

Crawford has the complexion. He can "fight" like scull and get the decision.

Well there are those like Shakur and Teddy Atlas that think Scull "outboxed "Canelo. But Scull was so roundly criticized that now I believe Crawford can't win that way. He could try the Leonard strategy against Hagler. A lot of movement and shoeshine combinations. But I believe it will look more like Chavez-Taylor.And I know it's not likely but I'm hoping for a minimum of race based comments.

It all depends at what pace the fight is fought, and Canelo's motivation to not look bad. If he presses Crawford early and and hits him everywhere, he could get the early KO. But if he lets Bud get into a rhythm by being lethargic, then it will be a decision for Bud. THIS SAID, it could very well be another very tactical snoozer.

early thoughts? just fast forward to fight night and see what happens, canelo will squeak it i would say

I am so tired of that line "weight classes exist for a reason" even if it is true. People always come off as trying to sound profound and deep as if they came up with the line when they say it. We'll hear that ****** azz line about a hundred more times between now and fight night.

To me, I believe that the hungrier fighter of the two is going to win and in this case; It just so happens to be Terence ‘Bud’ Crawford. This is a fight that Canelo doesn’t need but Crawford does.

Canelo has an iron chin. Even Golovkin couldn’t put him down, so Crawford isn’t going to.

But Crawford can outbox him. He has a longer reach and Canelo can’t cut off the ring anymore. Even in his prime Canelo had slow feet.
