Crawford beating canelo wouldn't even be an upset

[solidman]

The odds on canelo are only 1/2. Everybody can see the upset coming anyway. If crawford wins then he won't have beaten the real canelo.

[famicommander]

He's had one fight at 154. It would be a massive upset for him to skip 160 and beat the undisputed 168 champion in his first fight above 154 and only his second above 147. Get a grip on reality.

why is he some imposter?

Crawford going up at least 2 weight classes and beating an all time great wouldn’t be an upset????? You can’t be that lacking of boxing IQ.

The general consensus is Nel o has slipped. But he's still favourite

It would be an upset but not a shocking one

Canelo is well on the slide and bud is more skilled and is a bad style matchup for him

I told people back in the day Usyk would have a VERY good chance vs Fury and Joshua for the same reasons and the only argument people had was "size"

If all you have is size and the opponent has basically every skill advantage and hasn't shown vulnerability, that isn't much to bank on

Bud winning wouldn't shock me at all.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Yes it would be. Crawford is almost 38 old welterweight, fighting once a year, with zero fights over 154.

And the skill gap between him and Canelo is not the same as between Usyk and heavyweights.

People must get real, canelo is not shot enough to lose to 38 old welterweight fighting at 168.

He’s jumping up 2 weight classes. Idc if it’s the corpse of Canelo, it’s still impressive af for Crawford to win.

I think its more due to the fact that boxing fans are finally realising he's a manufactured star and him being promoted to the level he has, had more to do with his hair colour than any skillset.

drug cheating cherrypicking diva that has the judges and reff in his back pocket. matey is everything wrong with boxing.

He beat Callum Smith, Avni Yildirim, Billy Joe Saunders, and Caleb Plant in four straight fights to completely unify the super middleweight division.

His qualify of opposition has gone down sharply since Bivol whooped him, but aside from the Golovkin robberies his resume prior to that point was very solid.
