Comments Thread For: BoxingScene roundtable: Early Saul ?Canelo? Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford thoughts

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

Not happening lol judges love canelo. But the thing is that canelo was content with the way fight was going against scull. So he won't fight like that against Crawford. I got canelo winning by tko with ref stoppage.

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.

He might be bigger on fight night but he won't be able to move with all the weight. You already saw that at 154. Canelo will win by tko.

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.

But Crawford won't get the decision by only outboxing canelo lol. He needs to outbox canelo by 12 rounds to even stand a chance to get the decision. Only way to victory for Crawford is by KO. Canelo should win this pretty easily.

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.

Crawford ain't hungry as he is inactive. And his last fight was a draw but he got the decision since he was the A-side. But now he will realize what's like to fight a true A-side in canelo. Canelo is Winning by decision or tko.

Crawford can beat Canelo the same way Mayweather did. He's faster than Canelo, and has the longer reach. Sure Canelo has learned from the loss....but now he's older and slower.

Yes but Mayweather fought a recently turned 23 year old kid Canelo at 152 pounds catchweight with 13 pound rehydration clause. Crawford's chances are practical zero. It also doesn't help that Crawford is old and inactive. His only way to victory is by KO, which against canelo is a wishful thinking lol.

At first, Canelo swore he wouldn't fight Crawford because he's too small. Then, after being lambasted for refusing to fight Benavidez, Crawford is suddenly a good option? Bud's bulked up to SMW, but he has never fought in that class, while Alvarez has fought at the weight for 5 years. Canelo has also stayed active, fighting twice a year, while Terence has fought only once a year for the past 5 years. And he'll turn 38 a couple of weeks or so after the fight, while Alvarez will turn 35 in July. Although it would be amazing to see, I doubt that Bud will beat Canelo. The Canelo that looked bad vs Scull won't show up vs Crawford. Red by clear decision.

So is Crawford.

Well, we shall see. It's very possible and likely that he does. However, Crawford isn't going down without a fight. I still believe that it's going to come down to the man who wants it the most; The battle of wills what have you.

Which includes but just not limited to things like: Preparation, discipline and focus. Whoever, puts in the most work in training camp is going to win this fight and you can take that to the bank.

Without question; Canelo has more physical ability than Crawford. Which is why so many are picking him to win. However, when it comes to skill. Bud has the advantage.

He knows how to adapt to any style and makes adjustments on the fly. P4P these are two evenly matched opponents with Terence Crawford having the slight edge.

Canelo can't knock anyone out anymore...
