Canelos tells Crawford be has no elite fighters on his resume.

[djtmal]

Ok. Am I supposed to care?

Who cares

[MulaKO]

No, he didn't cherry pick the fight, he's on record saying he wasn't interested, but Bud begged for the fight and Turki is paying Ginger $120-150 million for the fight. Make's sense to any logical thinker that he would accept that offer...

I personally think that Turki should have offered Ginger that amount to fight Benavidez.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he did offer him that for Benny but you can’t drag the horse to the well obviously
So what’s the next best money grab et voila
There you have it

Bud is Turki's American Boxing crush, he's made it known publicly. Turki tried making the Bud vs Vergil fight and Bud said he was only interested in fighting Ginger. Turki tried meeting with Ginger before his fight with Berlanga to discuss a possible fight against Bud, but Ginger told him to hold off until after his fight with Berlanga.

Will Turki have Ginger fight Benavidez before the 4 fight deal is finished? I hope so, but speaking honestly, the fight that Turki has wanted and pitched Ginger was against Bud. Has Ginger avoided Benavidez? Absolutely! But Turki made it difficult for Ginger to turn down a fight against Bud by offering him a ridiculous amount...

Yup , I agree

[LittleLucy]

He's RIGHT...Spence is the only elite fighter Crawford has ever faced whereas Burns & Postol are nothing special at all.

Meanwhile, Canelo has faced GGG (thrice), Bivol, Mayweather, Cotto, Mosley & Kovalev who are all elite fighters.

Excuseeee me, but Spence is not an ELITE fighter.

[LittleLucy]

TC is one of my favorite fighters, but I agree the competition wasn't full of elite names. But he gets rid of most of them by stoppage which is all I can ask for.

Also, Canelo is coming off a very poor performance relative to himself. He looked shockingly slow.

he did look very slow.

[LittleLucy]

The drunken Kovi elite ???
The Mosley who already had 7 defeats and a draw to the elite Sergio Mora ???
The Cotto who was shopworn and retired with a loss two fights later to the elite Sadat Ali ???

C’mon brother the two elite he faced ( Floyd and Bivol ) actually beat him
Throw in the first fight with GGG which imo he lost

That my friend is not elite imo

You're actually right... Canelo improved a lot throughout the years but his career was full of cherry picking moments. I love when he talks about his resume and he mentions Miguel Cotto lol... The same miguel cotto that had gotten demolished by Margarito, Pacquiao and beaten by Floyd... come on.. Mosley? Mosley was old past his prime too..
People see the names but clearly ignore the DATES that this fights actually took place... The last two ELITE fighters were Floyd and Pacquiao.. thats it

[RuleOfTheSpear]

Porter and Spence lacks the fast twitch muscles that would've made them elite
Both their skills are limited to volume and ruggedness.

Canelo fought elite fighters like Cotto and Mosley, yes they're old
but is offset with an elite fighter like Triple G
So Canelo has seen a little bit of everything.

Add Bivol to the list lol
Imo , the two elite fighters beat him

[hugh grant]

So he cherrypicked somebody from three divisions below that doesn't have one elite fighter on his resume?

Make it make sense Alvared.

But bud is one of the best pfp regardless, whether he's beat anyone that makes bud p4p worthy. And some fancy buds chances against nelo, on basis of looking good against has beens.
Nel o can't take Floyd's zero, so can at least take buds
