    Bud right. He won't get credit for beating canelo like with spence

    Bud said after he beats canelo, people won't give him credit. I said the same thing pre spence that when bud stops spence, people will say spence is shot and won't give him credit. After bud whoops canelo, people will say canelo is past his prime and shot.

    It's TRUE though...Crawford fought Spence after a life-changing car crash and years of hard partying which obviously took their toll. Had he faced him a few years earlier it would've been a genuine 50-50 fight. As for Canelo, he's had 25 more fights than Crawford and is definitely past his best although still an excellent fighter given the recent beatdowns of Charlo, Munguia & Berlanga.

    Having said that, Crawford stepped up in weight to take all of Spence's belts so deserves full credit (ditto if he beats Canelo).

        Yes, he wouldn't get credit for spence win as he campaigned at the weight for 5 years, it's like people think people won't notice that, and take that onboard. Inoue wouldn't be allowed 5 years to fight Raphael espinoza.
        He will get credit for beating Nel o of course he will.

          That's not what I meant...Spence was a career Welterweight whereas Crawford won his first world title at Lightweight.

            That's because Canelo IS past his prime

            This guy is on record saying Spence isn't even Hall of Fame worthy

            This guy should be counting his blessings that Canelo is even looking his way

              So is Crawford. He's almost 38, he's had 41 pro fights and 70 amateur fights, and this is his fifth weight class (skipping middleweight altogether).

                Ok and without even looking it up I bet Canelo is way further past prime

                  Like I said the other day , were you saying that after Spence whooped Ugas ???
                  Prefabricated bullchit cause Spence looked great beating Ugas but afterwards he’s damaged goods
                  No mention of the damaged goods when he fought Garcia either

                    He's three years younger and has a considerable size advantage.
