    Crawford's in great shape by the way. Victor Conte has this man in beast mode.

    depends on how wide or tight the win is

    Jumping up two weights and wide win >= 9-3 over past prime Saul would make it a better victory than Floyd going up a weight to 11-1 pre-prime Saul

    TBud 8-4 or 7-5 past prime Saul = Floyd 11-1 pre-prime Saul

    I do not believe TBud is near Floyd’s level and this upcoming fight is where we find out

        We must see how competitive the fight itself is. Sometimes fights can be wide but highly competitive like Floyd-Miguel

        Floyd 9-3 Miguel but Miguel made him work

          In before the pre-prime and catchweight excuses. On what planet is 23 not prime? With 43 fights and 30 knockouts to boot.

          Oh and Canelo asked for that catchweight, he actually wanted 150 but they negotiated 152. There was an article here on boxingscene about it.

            if Saul wanted 150 why would he negotiate it to 152

              Canelo looked like an over the hill face first brawler his last time out. Everyone knew he had been declining but he literally got old overnight against Scull. A couple years ago id say it'd be a better win than Mayweathers but not anymore. Saul's ancient.

                Floyd schooling Saul has the honor of being the first to beat Saul

                bonus points for a win when it’s the first time the opponent has been defeated

                  I could see Saul-TBud being a re tarded version of Miguel-Floyd

                  Saul is flat footed and TBud is flat footed compared to Floyd

                  TBud juggles between fighting Saul off as he looks to outbox him

                    Haha, good comparison I agree. Won't be much movement at all for Bud at 168. Rock em sock em like you said but Crawford is very clever with his shots when hes trading. They might both be gassed after 6 rounds lmao.
