    I don't think they'll give Crawford the undisputed championship if he runs all night...he has to TAKE the belts from the champion clearly.

      He tried to fight Tszyu and Fundora and they both ducked him. That's why he ended up fighting Madrimov.

        Crawford ducked Fundora brother. He pretended he wanted the Tzsyu vs Sebastian winner thinking the Canelo fight will come first, anyways.

        He was even attacking Spence for trying to steal Fundora, the winner, away from him. All these silly charade of his just to feed the media with lies, the media which hounded him like a deceitful rat making excuses for his inactivity and can't fight this and that fighter.

        Then WBO believing Crawford was really interested in Fundora, they ordered the fight, you know, WBO thought they're giving TC a huge favor and they wanted the belt in Crawford's possession rather than Fundora's. TC turned it down even when the Alvarez fight was still a year away from happening.

        But that's all water under the bridge now. Fans should boo him mercilessly if he fights like he just wants to survive in this fight.

            Stylistically, sure, we all know Canelo doesn't like slick fighters and looks like a gassed plodder against them. GGG was there in front of Canelo all night, and the Ginger still couldn't beat him.

                Depends if Canelo can put a dent in him or not.

                Stylistically I think Crawford is the more difficult fight. Southpaw, better distance control and speed, more facets to his game.
                GGG is always going to be right in front of you as opposed to Crawford gliding in and out and giving you different looks.

                    That's a blatant lie.

                      P4P Crawford was better than GGG. But am unsure how he fares this high up in weight- he is going up a lot from his established welterweight.

                      Luckily, Canelo is older than he was for GGG- not as old as GGG was fir their first fight- but close.
