    canelos list of guys hes fought over the last many years is not great, he actually hasnt picked a hard fight since bivol that makes me wonder if bud could pull this off, i still put canelo as fav with bud having a shot at it simply because canelo is now so risk averse plus he doesnt look so sharp to me anymore when he does fight

      He's not KO'ing Canelo. He could barely move Madrimov. His power clearly didn't carry to 154, it's not magically coming back at 168.

      Doesn't mean he can't win still.

        I can't see a Crawford stoppage and if he managed one, it's from landing a punch with absolute force behind it that Canelo doesn't see landing and catches him. There is a higher probability that Crawford will be stopped if he can't take the power. Canelo knows Crawford's status, especially in P4P rankings, so he's going to come to prove he's different this fight around. I don't think he's going to just settle with a decision.

          Bud will get hit with those right upper cuts to the body that Canelo sneaks in even when a taller fighter is moving. Crawford will have a lot to think about and it will slow him down even more by going up in weight.

          Bud will get full credit if he beats Canelo convincingly and I don't want to hear excuses if Bud looses.

            GGG was slow. There are still punches from their 3rd fight that are still in motion.

            Crawfish is quick and hits you with shots you don’t see coming

                I really am not interested in whether or not Crawford can ko Canelo but how people are thinking about ko's/hurting your opponent is wrong IMO.
                People like Canelo and GGG have massive necks because they do a lot of strength training of the neck, so trying to hurt or stop them with hard, straight punches to the nose or (high on the) cheek will have almost zero effect.
                You saw this when they fought each other. They caught each other flush but their neck was the reason nothing happened.
                The focus should be on the temple and glancing blows to tip op the chin (corner of the mouth) for example and let the effect of the punch (disturbing balance and spatial orientation)go to the legs.

                Also, Derevyachenko badly hurt GGG to the body. His chin is/was indestructible but another target can still have the same effect.
                Long story short..anyone can be hurt with the right shot on the right spot.

                  Because GGG isn’t as great as Terence “TBE” Crawford is.

                    ggg took no risks

                    only great ggg faced was a guy who moved up in weight

                    ggg was happy to reign over a lacking 160
